Steering Alignment; Ski Wear Bar - Arctic Cat Sno Pro 120 2013 Operator's Manual


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.) "toe
out" (front measurement 6 mm (1/4
in.) more than rear measurement).
3. If ski alignment is not as specified,
the snowmobile will have a ten-
dency to wander and may be diffi-
cult to control;
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.
! WARNING
Neglecting to lock the tie rod by tight-
ening the jam nuts against the adjust-
ment tie rod may cause loss of
snowmobile control and possible
personal injury.

Neglecting to lock the steering tie rod
by tightening the jam nuts against
the adjustment tie rod may cause
loss of snowmobile control and pos-
sible 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 con-
trol. If the snowmobile is operated pri-
marily in deep snow, ski wear bar wear
will be minimal; however, if the snow-
mobile is operated on terrain where the
snow cover is minimal, the ski wear bar
will wear faster.
NOTE: The following procedure
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 rotating
the adjustment tie rod.
3. When steering 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.
