Test Ride - Arctic Cat ZR 6000 R CROSS COUNTRY Operator's Manual

6. Start the engine and accelerate slightly. Use only
enough throttle to turn the track several revolu-
tions. Shut engine off.
! WARNING
DO NOT stand behind the snowmobile or near the
rotating track. NEVER run the track at high speed
when the track is suspended.
NOTE: Allow the track to coast to a stop. Do not
apply the brake because it could produce an inac-
curate alignment condition.
7. When the track stops rotating, check the relationship
of the rear idler wheels and the inner track drive lugs.
If the rear idler wheels are centered between the inner
track drive lugs, no adjustment is necessary.
8. If the idler wheels are not centered between the
inner track drive lugs, adjust track alignment.
! WARNING
Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position
and the track is not rotating before checking or adjust-
ing the track alignment.

9. Loosen the right-side rear axle nut; then on the
side of the track which has the inner track drive
lugs closer to the rear idler wheel, rotate the
adjusting bolt clockwise 1-1 1/2 turns.
10. Check track alignment and make necessary adjust-
ments until proper alignment is obtained.
NOTE: Make sure correct track tension is main-
tained after adjusting track alignment.
11. Loosen the right-side rear axle nut just enough to
apply blue Loctite #243 to the axle threads; then
tighten the nut to 40-45 ft-lb.
If the axle nut is not tightened, the adjusting bolts could
loosen causing the track to ratchet, derail, or lock.

Test Ride

Test ride the snowmobile 5 to 10 minutes. During and
after the test ride, do the following:
1. Burnish the brake pads by driving the snowmobile
slowly and compressing the brake lever repeatedly
until the pads just start to heat up; then allow them
to cool down. This process stabilizes the pad mate-
rial and extends the life of the pads.
2. Allow the engine to cool; then visually check cool-
ant level. Add coolant as necessary.

3. Recheck track alignment and tension.
4. Check the engine compartment and underneath the
snowmobile for any signs of fluid leaks (gas, cool-
ant).
