5. After proper track tension is
obtained, tighten the idler wheel
axle cap screws to 34 ft-lb; then
tighten the adjusting bolts securely
against the axle.

NOTE: Since track tension and
track alignment are interrelated,
always check both even if only one
adjustment seems necessary.
Track Alignment
Proper track alignment is obtained when
the rear idler wheels are equal distance
from the inner track drive lugs. Excessive
wear to the idler wheels, drive lugs, and
track will occur if the track is improperly
aligned. Arctic Cat recommends that the
track alignment be checked once a week
or whenever the track tension is adjusted.
Checking Track Alignment
1. Remove excess ice and snow
buildup from the track, track drive
sprockets, and the inside of the skid
frame.
2. Position the tips of the skis against a
wall; then using a shielded safety
stand, raise the rear of the snowmo-
bile off the floor making sure the
track is free to rotate.
3. Start the engine and accelerate
slightly. Use only enough throttle to
turn the track several revolutions.
SHUT ENGINE OFF.

NOTE: Allow the track to coast to a
stop. DO NOT apply the brake
because it could produce an inaccu-
rate alignment condition.
4. When the track stops rotating, check
the relationship of the rear idler
wheels and the inner track drive lugs.
If the rear idler wheels are centered
between the inner track drive lugs, no
adjustment is necessary.

5. If the idler wheels are not centered
between the inner track drive lugs,
an adjustment is necessary.
Adjusting Track Alignment
1. On the side of the track which has
the inner track drive lugs closer to
the rear idler wheel, loosen the idler
wheel axle cap screw; then rotate the
adjusting bolt clockwise 1 to 1 1/2
turns.
! WARNING
Always make sure the adjusting bolts
are snug against the axle and the
idler wheel cap screws are tightened
to specifications. Failure to do so
could cause the track to become
extremely loose and, under some
operating conditions, allow the idler
wheels to climb over the track lugs
forcing the track against the tunnel
causing the track to “lock.” If a track
“locks” during operation, severe per-
sonal injury could result.
! WARNING
Make sure the ignition key is in the
OFF position and the track is not
rotating before checking or adjusting
track alignment. Personal injury
could result if contact is made with a
rotating track.
! WARNING
The tips of the skis must be posi-
tioned against a wall or similar
object.
! 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.
