Ski Alignment - Arctic Cat 120 sno pro Operator's Manual

! CAUTION
Never force the adjustment cams
from the low position to the high
position. Cam damage may occur.
Using a 13/16 in. wrench, rotate the
cam until it is in the desired position.
To stiffen the ride, rotate the cam so as
to raise the spring end. Make the
adjustment on the other cam and be
sure both cams are adjusted equally.

SKI ALIGNMENT

The skis have been aligned during
setup of the snowmobile. Ski align-
ment usually will not change unless a
rock or similar hard object is hit while
the snowmobile is being operated. Arc-
tic Cat recommends that the ski align-
ment be checked once a week.
Checking Ski
Alignment
1. Turn the handlebar to the straight-
ahead position.
2. Measure the distances to the inside
edges of the skis. Make sure the
measurements are taken behind the
front mount bracket and ahead of
the rear mount bracket.

NOTE: Ski alignment is correct
when the skis are parallel to each
other (equal measurements front
and rear) or when the skis have up
to a maximum of 6 mm (1/4 in.)
736-061A
"toe out" (front measurement 6
mm (1/4 in.) more than rear mea-
surement).
3. If ski alignment is not as specified,
the snowmobile will have a ten-
dency to wander and may be diffi-
cult to control; therefore, an
adjustment is necessary.
Adjusting Ski
Alignment
1. Make sure the ignition key is in
the OFF position.
2. Visually examine the skis to deter-
mine which ski is out of alignment
with respect to the handlebar.
3. Open the hood and loosen the jam
nut on each end of the adjustment
tie rod.
4. While holding the ski in position,
rotate the adjustment tie rod until
the measurement between the skis
is within specifications.
5. When the ski alignment is correct,
apply blue Loctite #243 to the jam
nut threaded areas and tighten each
jam nut securely against its adjust-
ment tie rod.
