Handlebar Tilt; Speedometer/Tachometer Angle; Exhaust System; Air-Intake Silencer - Arctic Cat ZR 5000 Operator's Manual

Handlebar Tilt

The handlebar can be adjusted to the
operator’'s preference. To adjust the han-
dlebar, use the following procedure:
1. Remove the handlebar cover; then
loosen the eight cap screws securing
the handlebar caps to the riser and the
riser to the steering post.
2. Adjust the handlebar to operator’'s
desired position, tighten the cap
screws evenly to 15 ft-lb, and check
steering for maximum right/left
turning capabilities.
NOTE: Do not rotate the handlebar
to a position that allows air to enter
the brake system.
! WARNING
Tighten cap screws according to
specifications to prevent unexpected
"movement" of the handlebar during
operation over rough terrain. DO NOT
position the handlebar so steering
(maximum right/left turning capabili-
ties) or throttle and brake controls
are affected.
Speedometer/
Tachometer Angle
The speedometer/tachometer can be
adjusted to the operator’'s desired posi-
tion. To adjust, use the following proce-
dure.
1. Loosen the lock nuts and cap screws
on each side of the speedometer/
tachometer bracket.
2. Adjust the speedometer/tachometer
to the desired angle; then tighten the
lock nuts securely.

Exhaust System

The exhaust system is designed to reduce
noise and to improve the total perfor-
mance of the engine. If any exhaust sys-
tem component is removed from the
engine and the engine is run, severe
engine damage will result.

Air-Intake Silencer

Used in conjunction with the fuel intake
system is a specially designed air-intake
silencer. The purpose of the silencer is to
quiet the intake of fresh air. Since the fuel
intake system is calibrated with the air-
intake silencer in place, the engine must
never be run with the silencer removed.
Performance will not be improved if the
air-intake silencer is removed. In con-
trast, severe engine damage will occur.

CAUTION
These snowmobiles are not designed
to be operated in dusty conditions.
Operating the snowmobile in dusty
conditions will
engine damage.

Cooling System

These snowmobiles are equipped with a
closed liquid cooling system for engine
cooling. The cooling system should be
inspected daily for leakage and damage.
Also, the coolant level should be checked
daily. If leakage or damage is detected,
take the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for ser-
vice. If not under warranty, this service is
at the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
When filling the cooling system reser-
voir, use an ethylene glycol-based cool-
ant/water mixture which will satisfy the
coldest anticipated weather conditions of
your area in accordance with the coolant
manufacturer’'s recommendations.
NOTE: On the HCR, M LTD, and M
8000 Sno Pro if operating on ice or
hard-packed snow, the ice scratch-
ers must be engaged to reduce
engine overheating.
NOTE: If operating on ice or hard-
packed snow conditions, it is recom-
mended that Ice Scratchers (p/n 5639-
897) be installed to reduce wear strip
wear and engine overheating.
