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 (Pantera
7000)
Arctic Cat recommends that the in-line
fuel filter be replaced every 5000 miles.
The in-line fuel filter is located under the
upper console. 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:
! WARNING
Since the fuel supply hose may be
under pressure, always wear safety
glasses; then remove the hose slowly
to release the pressure. Place an
absorbent towel around the connec-
tion to absorb the fuel.

NOTE: Before removing the fuel fil-
ter, take note of the filter inlet and
outlet for installing purposes.
