Preparation After Storage - Arctic Cat 120 Sno Pro 2011 Operator's Manual

Preparation after Storage

Taking the snowmobile out of storage
and correctly preparing it for operation
will assure many miles and hours of trou-
ble-free snowmobiling. Arctic Cat rec-
ommends the following procedure to
prepare the snowmobile.
1. Clean the snowmobile thoroughly.
Polish the exterior of the snowmo-
bile using the cleaner/polish.
2. Clean the engine cooling fins and
the recoil starter vents. Remove the
cloth from the muffler.
3. Check all control wires and cables
for signs of wear or fraying. Replace
if necessary. Use cable ties or tape to
route wires and cables away from
hot or rotating parts.
4. Inspect the drive chain and drive
chain tightener. Replace if neces-
sary.
5. Lubricate the drive chain with a dry,
graphite-based chain lubricant.
6. If not done during preparation for
storage, lubricate the spindles and
the rear suspension with an all-tem-
perature grease.
7. Check brake-lever travel distance,
all controls, ski alignment, track ten-
sion, track alignment, brake band,
and ski wear bars; adjust or replace
as necessary.
8. Examine the in-line fuel filter and
clean or replace if necessary.
9. Fill the gas tank.
10. Clean the seat cushion with the vinyl
protectant.
11. Check the spark plug (clean, gap,
and/or replace as necessary); then
start the engine and ensure proper
carburetor adjustments.
