Drive Train/Track/Brake
Systems
This section has been organized into sub-sections for ser-
vicing drive train, track, and brake systems; however,
some components may vary from model to model. The
technician should use discretion and sound judgment
when removing and installing components.

NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively, cracked,
or damaged in any way, replacement is necessary.
SPECIAL TOOLS
A number of special tools must be available to the technician
when servicing the drive train, track, and brake systems.

NOTE: Special tools are available from the Arctic
Cat Service Parts Department.
Drive Belt
The drive belt transfers power from the drive clutch to
the driven clutch. If the belt is worn, cracked, or
stretched, maximum power will not be transmitted and
the belt could also fail and therefore must be replaced.
Periodic checks (at least once a week under normal
usage) of two drive belt specifications are essential.
1. Measure the outside circumference of the drive
belt. The belt should be within specifications in
circumference.
2. Measure the outside width of the drive belt. The
belt should be within specifications in width.
3. Check the belt for cracking, fraying, etc.
If any of the specifications or conditions are unsatis-
factory, replace the drive belt.

NOTE: Drive belts should be purchased from an.
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer, as Arctic
Cat drive belts are made to exact specifications
and of quality material. Belts made by other manu-
facturers may not be of the same specifications or
quality and, therefore, usage could result in poor
performance and premature belt failure.
Before starting the snowmobile in extremely cold tem-
peratures, the drive belt should be removed and
warmed up to room temperature. Once the drive belt is
at room temperature, install the drive belt.
Also, drive belts have a break-in period of approxi-
mately 10 minutes. After installing a new drive belt,
drive the snowmobile for 10 minutes at 1/2 throttle or
less. This will allow the drive belt to gain its optimum
flexibility and will extend drive belt life.
Breaking-In
Drive belts require a break-in period of approximately
25 miles. Drive the snowmobile for 25 miles at 3/4
throttle or less. By revving the engine up and down
(but not exceeding 60 mph), the exposed cord on the
side of a new belt will be worn down. This will allow
the drive belt to gain its optimum flexibility and will
extend drive belt life.
Removing
1. Remove the tether switch cap and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
2. Set the brake lever lock.
3. Remove the left-side access panel.
4. Using Drive Belt Deflection Tool (p/n 0644-424),
thread the tool clockwise into the driven clutch
until the movable sheave opens far enough to
remove the drive belt.

5. When the sheaves are fully apart, pull up on drive
belt and roll belt over stationary sheave until it is
free of the driven clutch.

CAUTION
Never attempt to substitute any other drive clutch puller for
the recommended puller or severe clutch damage will occur.
CAUTION
Never run the engine with the drive belt removed.
Excessive revving of the engine could result in seri-
ous engine damage and drive clutch failure.
