This manual is divided into sections. Each section covers a specific vehicle component or system and, in addition to the
standard service procedures, includes disassembling, inspecting, and assembling instructions. When using this manual
as a guide, the technician should use discretion as to how much disassembly is needed to correct any given condition.
The service technician should become familiar with the operation and construction of each component or system by
carefully studying this manual. This manual 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 decals display the words Warning, Caution, Note, and At This Point to emphasize
important information. The symbol ! WARNING identifies personal safety-related information. Be sure to fol-
low 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 vehicle-related damage. Follow the directive because
it deals with the possibility of damaging part or parts of the vehicle. The symbol
information worthy of particular attention. The symbol
