FIVE HOUR CHECI< UP
{ Arctic recommends that specific items be checked
after the customer operates the snowmobile in
accordance with the break-in procedure described
in the Operator's Manual. The cost of the checkup
is to be assumed by the customer. This 5 hour
checkup will allow you, the Arctic dealer, to talk
with the customer and determine if a problem
exists. If the customer is dissatisfied, the problem
may be easier to remedy at this time rather than to
allow the snowmobile to be operated until a
possible failure occurs. If a defective part is found
and it is a warrantable component, submit a
warranty claim form through normal Arctic
channels (refer to the Warranty Policy and
Procedure Booklet). The customer is not to pay for
a warrantable component.
The following items are to be checked:
1. Ask the customer if he is satisfied with the
performance and general operating
characteristics of the snowmobile.
2. Check the operation of the ignition switch,
headlight and taillight switch, brakelight
switch, and the emergency shut-off switch.
Make sure the headlight dimmer switch will
move the beam of light from high to low
beam.
3. Test drive the snowmobile so that you can be
certain all systems are operating properly.
Test the brake for proper braking
characteristics.
4. Remove the spark plug and examine the
center electrode and air gap. Determine the
operating temperature of the engine by the
color of the center electrode.
5. Check the fuel line, return line, the inline fuel
filter and the fuel tank filter.
6. Check the carburetor for proper adjustment.
7. Check the choke and
~hrottle
control. Cables
must not be bent, frayed or kinked.
8. Check the ski alignment and examine the
skags for excessive wear.
9. Check the drive chain tension.
10. Check the condition of the drive belt.
11. Check the drive clutch; rollers must be free to
rotate.
12. Check center to center distance between the
drive clutch and driven pulley.
13. Check the offset between the drive clutch and
the driven pulley.
14. Check lubricant level in the chaincase.
15. Lubricate the eccentric bearing.
16. Check track tension and alignment.
17. Lubricate rear suspension arms.
18. Check ignition timing.
19. Tighten all nuts and bolts.
20. Tighten the intake, exhaust and recoil
hardware to the proper torque value.
21. Make sure all safety decals are in place.
22. Test drive the snowmobile to ensure proper
operation.
23. Clean the snowmobile prior to customer
pick-up or delivery.
