Paddle Track (M)
These models are equipped with a Power
Claw style track which is specially
designed for use in powder snow riding
conditions. When the Power Claw track is
operated in hard-packed snow conditions,
it will run slightly slower than a standard
track and it will accelerate wear strip wear.
To decrease the amount of wear strip wear,
slower speeds must be maintained when
operating on hard-packed trails. Acceler-
ated wear strip wear caused by operating a
Power Claw track on hard-packed snow
conditions is NOT covered under Arctic
Cat Inc. warranty policy.
NOTE: If operating on ice or hard-
packed snow conditions, it is recom-
mended that Ice Scratchers (p/n 5639-
897) be installed to reduce wear strip
wear and engine overheating.
Track Studs
NOTE: Stud or hooker plate installa-
tion will void track and tunnel warranty.
NOTE: Stud installation can be per-
formed by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner does
not feel qualified, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for this service. This
service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
NOTE: All 7000 models are manu-
factured with tunnel protectors.
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.
! 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 on the 6000, install Tunnel Pro-
tector Kit (p/n 6639-075).

! 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.
