Preparation After Storage - Arctic Cat 120 Sno Pro 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
trouble-free snowmobiling. Arctic Cat
recommends 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.

all controls, ski alignment, track
tension, track alignment, brake
band, and ski wear bars; adjust or

carburetor adjustments.
