FOREWORD
This Arctic Cat Service Manual contains service and maintenance information for the Model Year 2004 Arctic Cat 4-
Stroke Snowmobiles. The manual is designed to aid service personnel in service-oriented applications.
This manual is divided into sections. The sections cover specific snowmobile components or systems and, in addition
to the standard service procedures, includes assembling, disassembling, and inspecting instructions. When using this
manual as a guide, the technician should use discretion as to how much disassembly is needed to correct any given con-
dition.
The service technician should become familiar with the operation and construction of the components or systems by
carefully studying the complete manual. This will assist the service technician in becoming more aware of and efficient
with servicing procedures. Such efficiency not only helps build consumer confidence but also saves time and labor.
All Arctic Cat publications and snowmobile decals display the words Warning, Caution, and Note to emphasize impor-
tant information. The symbol ! WARNING identifies personal safety-related information. Be sure to follow the
directive because it deals with the possibility of severe personal injury or even death. The symbol ! CAUTION
identifies unsafe practices which may result in snowmobile-related damage. Follow the directive because it deals with
the possibility of damaging part or parts of the snowmobile. The symbol
tion worthy of particular attention.
At the time of publication, all information, photographs, and illustrations were technically correct. Some photographs
and illustrations used in this manual are used for clarity purposes only and are not designed to depict actual conditions.
