The longevity and safety of the snowmo-
bile can be increased by making periodic
checks of the items in the preceding
checklist.
If, at any time, abnormal noises, vibra-
tions, or improper working conditions of
any component of this snowmobile are
detected, DO NOT OPERATE THE
SNOWMOBILE. Take the snowmobile
to an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for inspection and adjustment or
repair. If not under warranty, this service
is at the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
The snowmobile should be taken to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
at the end of each snowmobiling season
for general inspection and for off-season
storage servicing. This inspection and
servicing is at the expense of the snow-
mobile owner.
Fuel System
! WARNING
Whenever
any
inspection is made on the fuel system
in which there may be fuel leakage,
there should be no welding, smoking,
open flames, etc., in the area.
In-Line Fuel Filter
Arctic Cat recommends that the in-line
fuel filter be checked weekly. The in-line
fuel filter is located just in front of the
fuel pump inlet fitting. The filter must be
clean to allow the fuel hose to transmit
the amount of gasoline required.
If the in-line fuel filter is obstructed, gas-
oline flow will be restricted; therefore,
the filter must be replaced. To remove
and install the in-line fuel filter, use the
following procedure:
1. Pinch off the fuel hose between the
gas tank and fuel filter.
2. Remove and discard the clamps;
then pry the fuel hoses off the in-line
fuel filter and remove the filter.
NOTE: The in-line fuel filter must
be replaced if obstructed. Filters are
available from an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer.
maintenance
or
3. Install the new in-line fuel filter (if
necessary) in the fuel hose so the
arrow on the filter points toward the
fuel pump. Make sure the fuel hoses
fit tightly on the filter. If the existing
fuel hose does not fit tightly on the fil-
ter, cut 6 mm (1/4 in.) from the end of
the fuel hose; then install on the filter
and secure with new clamps.
! WARNING
The fuel hoses must fit tightly on the
fuel filter. If the fuel hose length
doesn't
permit
replace the fuel hose. Also, after
installing the fuel hoses on the filter,
check to be sure that the fuel hoses
do not contact any hot or rotating
components.
Gasoline Additives
Fuel de-icer can be used for all models.
Also, periodic use of an injector cleaner
is recommended especially in the last
tank of gasoline before storage. Arctic
Cat Fuel Stabilizer (p/n 0436-907) should
also be added to the last tank of gasoline
before storage.
Fuel Pickup Valves
If ever there is a restricted fuel flow and a
pickup valve is suspected, take the snow-
mobile to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for this service. If not under
warranty, this service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile owner.
