
NOTE: The snowmobile must be
on a level surface for this procedure.
Check the lubricant level in the chain
case by using the sight glass. The correct
level is when the lubricant is at least half-
way up in the sight glass.

NOTE: Adding lubricant can be
done by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner does
not feel qualified, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for this service.
This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner

NOTE: Make sure the snowmobile
is fully shifted into forward.
1. If the lube level is low, remove the
three screws securing the shift actua-
tor to the chain case, disconnect the
actuator wiring harness, and remove
the actuator extension, shift detent,
and spring; then add appropriate
amount of Arctic Cat Synthetic
Chain Lube (p/n 6639-539) through
the shift actuator opening until the
lube is halfway up the sight glass.
2. Install the actuator extension and
gently rotate counter clockwise to
make sure the shift fork is in the for-
ward position.
