Brake System (Hydraulic) - Arctic Cat 2015 ZR 5000 Service Manual

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.
! WARNING
The tips of the skis must be positioned against a wall
or similar object for safety. Keep hands, feet, and
clothing away from moving components.
! WARNING
DO NOT stand behind the snowmobile or near the
rotating track. NEVER run the track at high speed
when the track is suspended.
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. If
not, proceed to step 5.
5. 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.

6. Check the track alignment and make the necessary
adjustments until proper alignment is obtained.
 NOTE: Make sure correct track tension is main-
tained after adjusting track alignment (see Track Ten-
sion sub-section in this section).
7. After proper track tension and alignment are
obtained, tighten the idler wheel axle cap screw to 34
ft-lb; then tighten the adjusting bolt to 84 in.-lb.
Always make sure the adjusting bolts are snug against
0745-809
the axle and the idler wheel cap screws. 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 personal injury could
result.
 NOTE: Field test the track under actual conditions
and after the field test, check track alignment and
track tension; adjust as necessary.
