Ski Wear Bar; Rail Wear Strip - Arctic Cat Sno Pro 500 Operator's Manual

Installing Headlight Bulb
CAUTION
Do not touch the glass portion of the bulb. If the glass
portion is touched, it must be cleaned with a dry cloth
before installing.
1. Plug the wiring harness into the headlight bulb.
2. Insert the bulb into the headlight housing.
3. Check headlight aim.
! WARNING
Do not operate the snowmobile unless headlight beam
is adjusted properly. An incorrectly adjusted beam will
not provide the operator the optimum amount of light.

SKI WEAR BAR

NOTE: The skis on this snowmobile are not
equipped with wear bars. For information on ski
wear bars, see the 2011 POGA Reference Guide
(p/n 5214-070). Ski wear bars are available from
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.
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 snowmo-
bile 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 maintain positive
steering characteristics, Arctic Cat recommends that
the ski wear bars be checked before each use and
replaced if worn beyond 1/2 of the original diameter.
Ski wear bars are available from an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer.
! WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with excessively worn or
missing wear bars may result in a loss of steering con-
trol.
NOTE: Always check the official rules for the
appropriate wear bars for the event being partici-
pated in.
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 snowmobile on its left side. A piece of
cardboard should be used to protect the finish on
the hood and belly pan.
NOTE: Prior to tipping the snowmobile on its
side, apply the brake and set the brake lever lock.
NOTE: When laying the snowmobile on its left
side, properly support the snowmobile on a han-
dlebar support stand to keep it from rolling over.
3. Remove the lock nuts securing the wear bar to the
ski.
4. Remove the wear bar from the ski.
Installing Ski Wear Bar
1. Move the wear bar into position on the bottom of
the ski.
2. Align the wear bar studs with the holes in the ski;
then install the lock nuts. Tighten to 11-15 ft-lb.

RAIL WEAR STRIP

Arctic Cat recommends that the wear strips be checked
weekly and replaced as necessary. Measure the wear
strips at 25.4 cm (10 in.) intervals. Wear strips must be
10.7 mm (0.42 in.) thick or thicker. If wear strip mea-
surements are less than specified, replacement of both
wear strips is necessary to prevent premature track clip
wear and possible track damage.
NOTE: The rail wear strips will wear rapidly if the
snowmobile is operated on terrain on which the
snow cover is minimal. Loose snow is required to
cool and lubricate the wear strips and prevent
accelerated wear.
