Shock Absorbers (Standard Gas); Shock Absorbers (Rebuildable Gas); Deep-Lug Track - Arctic Cat S2009F5DFCUSG Operator's Manual

SHOCK ABSORBERS
(Standard Gas)
Each shock absorber should be visibly
checked weekly for fluid leakage,
cracks or breaks in the lower case, or a
bent plunger. If any one of these condi-
tions is detected, replacement is neces-
sary. Take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for this service. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
 NOTE: When the snowmobile is
operated in extremely cold weather
(-23° C/-10° F or colder), a small
amount of leakage may be present.
Unless the leakage is excessive,
replacement is not necessary.
SHOCK ABSORBERS
(Rebuildable Gas)
 NOTE: The presence of an ACT
identifier (decal or embossed) on a
shock absorber body indicates a
"rebuildable" shock absorber.
 NOTE: The frequency of servicing
rebuildable shock absorbers will
vary according to the types of con-
ditions and terrain the snowmobile
has been subjected to. If riding
quality deteriorates (or seems to be
deteriorating), take the snowmobile
to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for shock absorber
evaluation and/or servicing. This
service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Servicing rebuildable shock absorbers
is considered normal maintenance and
is the responsibility of the owner. 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. Kits
are available to either stiffen or soften
gas shock valving. If changes in shock
valving are desired, see an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. This
service is at the discretion and expense
of the snowmobile owner.

DEEP-LUG TRACK

Some models are equipped with a deep-
lug track which is specially designed for
use in powder snow riding conditions.
When the deep-lug track is operated in
hard-packed snow conditions, it will run
slightly slower than a standard-lug track
and it will accelerate wear strip wear. To
decrease the amount of wear strip wear,
slower speeds must be maintained when
operating on hard-packed trails. Accel-
erated wear strip wear caused by operat-
ing a deep-lug track on hard-packed
snow conditions is NOT covered under
Arctic Cat Inc. warranty policy.
