MAINTENANCE
SKI WEAR BARS
The ski wear bar is a replaceable bar
attached to the underside of the ski.
The purpose of the wear bar is to assist
in turning the snowmobile, to minimize
ski wear, and to maintain good steering
control. If the snowmobile is operated
primarily in deep snow, ski wear bar
wear will be minimal; however, if the
snowmobile is operated on terrain
where the snow cover is minimal, the
ski wear bar will wear faster. To main-
tain positive steering characteristics,
Arctic Cat recommends that the ski
wear bars be checked before each use
and replaced if worn beyond 1/2 of the
original diameter. Ski wear bars are
available from an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer.
Removing Ski Wear
Bars
NOTE: Determine which type of
wear bar is being replaced and
remove and install accordingly.
1. Remove ice and snow buildup
from the ski.
2. Using a suitable safety stand or
lift, elevate the front of the snow-
mobile.
3. Remove the lock nuts securing the
wear bar to the ski.

4. Remove the wear bar from the ski.
Installing Ski Wear
Bars
1. Move the wear bar into position on
the bottom of the ski.
NOTE: If installing a double-off-
set wear bar, the carbide edge
must be directed to the outside of
the ski.
2. Align the wear bar studs with the
holes in the ski; then install the
lock nuts. Tighten to 11-15 ft-lb.
ADJUSTING SKI
STANCE (M-Series/
Crossfire/Bearcat 570/
570 XT/Bearcat Z1 XT
Models)
NOTE: Ski stance can be
increased/decreased by 6.3 cm
(2.5 in.) on Bearcat models or by
2.5 cm (1.0 in.) on M-Series/Cross-
fire models.
1. Place the front of the snowmobile
on a support stand.
2. Remove the cotter pin; then
remove the slotted nut and cap
screw securing the ski assembly to
the spindle. Remove the ski.
Account for the rubber damper,
inserts, and washers.
3. To increase ski stance, place both
ski stance spacers to the outside of
the spindle.
! WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with
excessively worn ski wear bars
may result in a loss of steering
control.
