Adjusting Front Track

NOTE: Adjustments can be made by the ATV
owner if qualified to do so. If the owner does not
feel qualified, take the ATV to an authorized Arctic
Cat ATV dealer for this service.
NOTE: This procedure is appropriate for both
front tracks.
1. Place the ATV on a flat surface.
2. To adjust steering effort, use a 3/4-in. open end
wrench to loosen the jam nut of the anti-rotational
device.

3. Using a 9/16-in. open end wrench on the notches,
rotate the guiding axle to adjust steering effort.
NOTE: Rotating the guiding axle clockwise
(screwing in) will raise the rear of the track making
turning easier; rotating counterclockwise (screw-
ing out) will lower the rear of the track making
turning harder.
4. Tighten the jam nut securely.
5. To set vertical distance, use a 17 mm socket and a
tape measure. Recommended vertical distance is
18.5 cm (7 3/8 in.) between the rear wheel and the
ground.

If it becomes necessary to unscrew the anti-rota-
tional device ball joint to adjust the track, pay partic-
ular attention to the exposed length of the ball joint
shaft. If this length exceeds 14 mm (9/16 in.), there
will not be enough threads in contact with the sliding
rod and loss of control may occur.
