Articulating Skid Frame
(Bearcat XT)
The rear articulating portion of the skid
frame has two skid frame adjusters which
control the amount of travel in the rear
suspension.
These two adjusters have been pre-set at
the factory and should require no further
adjustment.
If adjustment is ever required, rotate the
two adjusters equally to permit 12.5-25
mm (1/2-1 in.) travel of the articulating
portion of the suspension.

NOTE: Tightening the adjusters
will stiffen the articulating skid frame
travel; loosening the adjusters will
soften the travel.
Overload Springs
Some models have overload springs built
into the rear suspension. When either car-
rying a heavy load or riding 2-up, the
overload springs should be engaged by
rotating the spring tension blocks to the
UP position. The spring tension blocks
lock in an over-center position when
engaged.

NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends
that the overload
engaged whenever a load on the
snowmobile
cargo) exceeds 136 kg (300 lb).
CAUTION
There are weight limitations for these
snowmobiles. If additional cargo is
being added, maximum weight on the
snowmobile
cargo) should not exceed the maxi-
mum limitation set for each snowmo-
bile. See chart for details. Also, the
overload springs should be engaged.
