2. Align the wear bar studs with the
holes in the ski; then install the lock
nuts. Tighten to 15-20.4 N-m (11-15
ft-lb).

Adjusting Ski Stance


NOTE: Local laws and/or regula-
tions as to maximum width of the ski
stance on these snowmobiles may
be applicable. Always comply with
the maximum width laws and/or reg-
ulations when adjusting ski stance.

NOTE: Lynx models do not have
an adjustable ski stance.
1. Place the front of the snowmobile on
a support stand.
2. Remove the cotter pin; then remove
the slotted nut and cap screw secur-
ing the ski assembly to the spindle.
Remove the ski. Account for the
rubber damper, inserts, and washers.
3. To increase ski stance, place both ski
stance spacers to the outside of spindle.
4. To decrease ski stance, place ski
stance spacers to the inside of spindle.
5. Apply a low-temperature grease to the
non-threaded portion of the cap
screw; then slide the cap screw
through the ski accounting for the rub-
ber damper, inserts, and washers.

NOTE: Install the cap screw so the
slotted nut will be located to the
inside of the ski.
6. Apply red Loctite #271 to the threads
of the cap screw; then tighten the nut
to 61.2 N-m (45 ft-lb).
7. Place the cotter pin into the ski cap
screw and spread the pin.
8. Repeat procedure for the other ski.

Rail Wear Strips

Arctic Cat recommends that the wear
strips be checked weekly and replaced as
necessary. Measure the wear strips at
25.4 cm (10 in.) intervals. Wear strips
must be 10.7 mm (0.42 in.) thick or
thicker.
If wear strip measurements are less than
specified, replacement of both wear strips
is necessary to prevent premature track
clip wear and possible track damage.
Take the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this
service. This service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile owner.
Each time a new set of wear strips are
installed, they should be tempered. Tem-
per the wear strips by driving the snow-
mobile for approximately a mile on a
hard pack trail; then immediately drive
into deep snow and allow the wear strips
to cool. Repeat the procedure (warming
up the wear strips; then cooling them
down) two or three times.

NOTE: The rail wear strips will wear
rapidly if the snowmobile is operated
on terrain on which the snow cover is
minimal. Loose snow is required to
cool and lubricate the wear strips and
prevent accelerated wear.
