The longevity and safety of the
snowmobile can be increased by
making periodic checks of the items
in the preceding checklist.
If, at any time, abnormal noises,
vibrations, or improper working
conditions of any component of this
snowmobile are detected, DO NOT
OPERATE THE SNOWMOBILE.
Take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for inspection and adjustment or
repair.
The snowmobile should be taken to
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmo-
bile dealer at the end of each snow-
m o b i l i n g s e a s o n f o r g e n e r a l

servicing is at the expense of the
snowmobile owner.
FUEL SYSTEM
In-Line Fuel Filter
(Carbureted Models)
Arctic Cat recommends that the in-
line fuel filter be checked weekly.
The in-line fuel filter is located just
in front of the fuel pump inlet fitting.
The filter must be clean to allow the
fuel hose to transmit the amount of
gasoline required. If the in-line fuel
filter is obstructed, gasoline flow
will be restricted; therefore, the filter
must be replaced. To remove and
install the in-line fuel filter, use the
following procedure:
NOTE: Determine which style
in-line fuel filter is being replaced
and remove and install accord-
ingly.
1. On models with a gas tank shut-
off valve, turn the gas tank shut-
off valve to the CLOSED posi-
tion.
2. Using a screwdriver, pry the
fuel hoses off the in-line fuel
filter and remove the filter.

NOTE: The in-line fuel filter
must be replaced if obstructed.

bile dealer.
3. Install the in-line fuel filter in
the fuel hose so the arrow on
the filter points toward the fuel
pump. Make sure the fuel hoses
fit tightly on the filter. If a fuel
hose does not fit tightly, cut 6
mm (1/4 in.) from the end of the
fuel hose; then install on the fil-
ter.
! WARNING
Whenever any maintenance or
inspection is made on the fuel
system in which there may be
fuel leakage, there should be no
welding, smoking, open flames,
etc., in the area.
