B. Pour 10 ml (approximately two teaspoons) of petro-
leum-based oil into the spark plug hole; then pull the
recoil starter handle slowly about five times.
CAUTION
Never crank the engine over without grounding the
spark plug. Damage to the transistorized ignition may
result.
C. Install the spark plug and connect the high tension
wire.
6. Remove the drive chain and clean thoroughly in a
solvent. Install drive chain and lubricate with a dry,
graphite-based chain lubricant.
7. Change the oil; then clean the air filter.
8. Lubricate the spindles and the rear suspension with
an all-temperature grease.
9. Tighten all screws, nuts, and cap screws securely.
10. Make sure all rivets holding components together are
tight. Replace all loose rivets.
11. Clean and polish the hood, console, and chassis with
Cat Cleaner (p/n 4639-371). DO NOT USE SOL-
VENTS. THE PROPELLANT WILL DAMAGE
THE FINISH.
12. If possible, store the snowmobile indoors. Raise the
rear of the snowmobile off the floor and block up the
rear end. Cover the snowmobile with a snowmobile
cover to protect it from dirt and dust.
13. If the snowmobile must be stored outdoors, block the
entire snowmobile off the ground and cover it with a
snowmobile cover to protect it from dirt, dust, and
rain.
CAUTION
Avoid using a plastic cover as moisture will collect on
the snowmobile causing corrosion.

Preparation After Storage

Taking the snowmobile out of storage and correctly pre-
paring it for operation will assure many miles and hours
of trouble-free snowmobiling. Arctic Cat recommends the
following procedure to prepare the snowmobile.
1. Clean the snowmobile thoroughly. Polish the exterior
of the snowmobile using the cleaner.
2. Clean the engine cooling fins and the recoil starter
vents. Remove the cloth from the muffler.
3. Check all control wires and cables for signs of wear
or fraying. Replace if necessary. Use cable ties or
tape to route wires and cables away from hot or rotat-
ing parts.
4. Inspect the drive chain and drive chain tightener.
Replace if necessary.
5. Lubricate the drive chain with a dry, graphite-based
chain lubricant.
6. If not done during preparation for storage, lubricate
the spindles and the rear suspension with an all-tem-
perature grease.
7. Check brake-lever travel distance, all controls, ski
alignment, track tension, track alignment, brake band,
and ski wear bars; adjust or replace as necessary.
8. Examine the in-line fuel filter and clean or replace if
necessary.
9. Fill the gas tank.
10. Clean the seat cushion with the vinyl protectant.
11. Check the spark plug (clean, gap, and/or replace as
necessary); then start the engine and ensure proper
carburetor adjustments.
