Drive Train - Arctic Cat Pantera 3000 Service Manual

NOTE: The amount of deflection should be experi-

mented with or tested to obtain best start-line perfor-
mance.
 NOTE: Push down on the belt with the ruler only
until the bottom of the belt flexes upward; then read
the amount of deflection.
5. To correct drive belt deflection, loosen the jam nut
on the belt width adjuster on the stationary sheave.
 NOTE: Make sure the jam nut and set screw is
located on the opposite side of the drive clutch when
checking or adjusting the deflection.
SNO-597A
6. Using an Allen wrench, adjust the set screw as
needed.
 NOTE: Turning the set screw clockwise increases
distance between the sheaves (increases belt deflection
measurement); turning the set screw counterclock-
wise decreases distance
(decreases belt deflection measurement).

REMOVING CHAIN CASE/DRIVEN
SHAFT/DRIVESHAFT/TRACK
CAUTION
If the chain or sprockets on 7000 models need to be
replaced for any reason, only use the correct chain or
sprocket as shown in the POGA Reference Guide. Using
different chains or sprockets than those listed will
cause damage due to the different tooth profiles.
1. Remove both access panels and the hood; then dis-
connect the oxygen sensor and remove the resonator.
Discard exhaust gaskets, cap screws, and nuts but
retain the exhaust spring.
2. Remove the torx-head screw securing the belly pan
to the right-side foot rest support; then remove the
torx-head screws securing the right-side foot rest.
SNO-960A
3. Disconnect the speed sensor connector, gear position
sensor connector, and reverse actuator connector.
4. On 5000 and 9000 models, remove the clamp secur-
ing the oil separator line; then remove the line from
the oil tank elbow fitting.
SNO-963A
NOTE: On 7000 models, the oil separator line is

vertical but still needs to be removed from the oil tank
fitting.
5. Remove the extension, detent block, and spring.
