STEERING
ALIGNMENT
Visually examine the steering align-
ment by placing the handlebar in the
straight-ahead position and checking to
be sure the skis are pointing straight
ahead. If the skis are not pointing
straight ahead, adjust using the follow-
ing procedure:
NOTE: The following procedure
can be used to adjust the align-
ment of either ski.
1. Determine which ski is out of align-
ment; then unlock the adjustment
tie rod by loosening the jam nuts.
2. Adjust the ski alignment by rotat-
ing the adjustment tie rod.
3. When steering alignment is cor-
rect, apply blue Loctite #243 to the
jam nut threaded areas and tighten
each jam nut securely against its
adjustment tie rod.
! WARNING
Neglecting to lock the steering tie
rod by tightening the jam nuts
against the adjustment tie rod may
cause loss of snowmobile control
and possible personal injury.

SKI WEAR BAR

The ski wear bar is a replaceable bar
attached to the underside of the ski.
The purpose of the wear bar is to assist
in turning the snowmobile, to minimize
ski wear, and to maintain good steering
control. If the snowmobile is operated
primarily in deep snow, ski wear bar
wear will be minimal; however, if the
snowmobile is operated on terrain
where the snow cover is minimal, the
ski wear bar will wear faster. To main-
tain positive steering characteristics,
Arctic Cat recommends that the ski
wear bars be checked once a week and
replaced if worn to 1/2 of original
diameter. Ski wear bars are available
from an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer.
! WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with
excessively worn ski wear bars
may result in a loss of steering
control.
Removing Ski Wear
Bar
1. Remove ice and snow buildup
from the ski.
2. With the gas tank nearly empty
(less than 1/4 full), lay the snow-
mobile on its side. A piece of card-
0735-446
board should be used to protect the
finish on the hood.
3. Remove the lock nuts securing the
wear bar to the ski.
