Tires - Arctic Cat 150 2013 Operator's Manual

1. Using a suitable, nonflammable cleaning solution, thoroughly
wash the chain and sprockets.
2. Allow the chain to dry; then apply a dry, graphite-based lubricant
to the chain.
The drive chain should be lubricated with a dry, graphite-based chain
lubricant. By using a dry, graphite-based chain lubricant, dirt buildup
on the drive chain will be minimized.
Adjusting Tension
1. Loosen the four cap screws (A)
on the axle housing; then using
adjuster nut (B), adjust chain
"slack" (clockwise to tighten,
counterclockwise to loosen) to
10-20 mm.
2. Tighten the four cap screws (A)
to 50 ft-lb; then tighten adjuster nut (B) to 15 ft-lb.

if qualified to do so. If the owner does not feel qualified, take the
ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for this service.

Tires

Always use the size and type of tires as specified. Refer to
the specifications chart for proper tire inflation pressure, and
always maintain proper tire inflation pressure.
Tire Tread Condition
The use of worn-out tires on an ATV is
very dangerous. A tire is considered to
be worn out when the depth of the
tread is less than 3 mm (1/8 in.). Be
sure to replace the tires before reach-
ing this minimum specification.
KM831A
The use of worn-out tires can be dangerous and can increase
the risk of an accident.
Tire Replacement
The ATV has low-pressure tubeless tires. Air is sealed by the contact
surfaces of the inner wheel rim and the tire bead. If either the inner
wheel rim or tire bead is damaged, air may leak. Be extremely careful
not to damage these areas when replacing tires.
It is very important to use the proper tools when repairing or replacing
tires to prevent damage to the tire bead or wheel rims. If proper tools and
related items are not available, have this maintenance performed by an
authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer or a qualified tire repair station.
