Ski Wear Bars - Arctic Cat ZR 5000 2015 Operator's Manual


NOTE: There should be an "aver-
age" operating load on the snowmo-
bile when adjusting headlight aim.
2. Measure the distance from the floor
to midpoint of the headlight.
3. Using the measurement obtained in
step 2, make a horizontal mark on
the aiming surface.
4. Make a vertical mark which intersects
the horizontal mark on the aiming sur-
face directly in front of the headlight.
5. Engage the brake lever lock and start
the engine. Move the headlight dimmer
switch to the HIGH beam position. DO
NOT USE LOW BEAM.
6. Observe the headlight beam aim.
Proper aim is when the most intense
beam is centered on the vertical mark 5
cm (2 in.) below the horizontal mark
on the aiming surface.
7. Adjust the headlight using the adjust-
ing screw on the backside of the head-
light using a 4 mm swivel socket and
long extension until correct aim is
obtained. Shut the engine off; then dis-
engage the brake lever lock.

Ski Wear Bars

The ski wear bar is a replaceable bar
attached to the underside of the ski. The pur-
pose of the wear bar is to assist in turning the
snowmobile, to minimize ski wear, and to
maintain good steering control. If the snow-
mobile is operated primarily in deep snow,
ski wear bar wear will be minimal; however,
if the snowmobile is operated on terrain
where the snow cover is minimal, the ski
wear bar will wear faster. To maintain posi-
tive steering characteristics, Arctic Cat rec-
ommends that the ski wear bars be checked
before each use and replaced if worn beyond
1/2 of the original diameter. Ski wear bars
are available from an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer.
Operating
excessively worn ski wear bars may
result in a loss of steering control.
Removing Ski Wear Bars
1. Using Front End Lift (p/n 5639-151),
elevate the front of the snowmobile.
2. Remove the lock nuts securing the
wear bar to the ski.

3. Remove the wear bar from the ski.
Installing Ski Wear Bars
1. Move the wear bar into position on
the bottom of the ski.

NOTE: If installing a double-offset
wear bar, the carbide edge should be
directed to the outside of the ski.
2. Align the wear bar studs with the
0746-807
holes in the ski; then install the lock
nuts. Tighten to 15 ft-lb.
