For proper installation, use the following
procedure:
1. Using the appropriate stud template
(see chart), mark the desired stud
pattern to be used.
2. Using the proper-sized stud hole
drill bit, drill out the stud holes.
3. Push the stud through the hole from
inside the track; then place the
domed support plate and lock nut on
the exposed stud.
4. Using a wrench to secure the stud,
tighten the lock nut on the exposed stud.
It is also recommended that whenever
studs are installed on a track, carbide
wear bars should be installed on the skis.
Carbide wear bars complement the track
studs to balance steering control under
these conditions. The length of the car-
bide on the wear bars should be propor-
tionate to the number of track studs (i.e.
small number of track studs — short
length of carbide...many track studs —
long length of carbide). The proper pro-
portion between the number of studs and
carbide length on the wear bar will main-
tain steering balance.
Reverse Operation
The engine reverse function offers the
operator the convenience of being able to
back up the snowmobile rather than hav-
ing to turn the snowmobile around by
hand. This feature, under most situations,
should not be used to free a stuck snow-
mobile as it will tend to dig the skis
deeper into the snow. Always use mini-
mal speed when operating in reverse.

! WARNING
When installing studs on a single-ply
track, it is important to use Arctic
Cat-approved studs (proper head
diameter). If approved studs (proper
head diameter) are not used, studs
could tear free of the track causing
possible injury or even death. Con-
sult an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for information.
CAUTION
To prevent tunnel damage from the
studs, install Tunnel Protector Kit (p/
n 6639-075) for the ZR, (p/n 6639-118)
for the XF, or (p/n 6639-207) for HCR.

! WARNING
Always balance the snowmobile with
the proper proportion between the
number of studs and carbide length
on the wear bars. Do not “over drive”
conditions; use common sense in all
operating conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use studs that are more than
9.525 mm (0.375 in.) longer than the
track lug height.
! WARNING
Do not operate a snowmobile with
loose studs as they may be thrown
from the track. Always use a shielded
safety stand whenever performing
any maintenance or adjustments.
! WARNING
DO NOT stand behind the snowmo-
bile or near the rotating track. NEVER
run the track at high speed when the
track is suspended.
