Front Drive Actuator - Arctic Cat 700 Diesel ATV 2007 Service Manual

Front Drive Actuator

NOTE: The actuator is not a serviceable compo-
nent. If it is defective, it must be replaced.
NOTE: The actuator will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
The front drive actuator is located on the left side of
the front drive input housing. With the engine stopped
and the ignition switch in the ON position, a momen-
tary "whirring" sound can be heard each time the front
drive selector switch is shifted. If no sound is heard,
see Section 5. If the actuator runs constantly or makes
squealing or grinding sounds, the actuator must be
replaced.
REMOVING
1. Remove the front inner fender panels; then discon-
nect the connector on the actuator harness.
2. Using a T-30 torx wrench, remove the mounting
cap screw from the driveshaft side of the actuator.
3. Remove the mounting cap screw from below the
actuator on the suspension side.
4. Loosen but do not remove the mounting cap screw
at the front of the actuator; then slide the actuator
to the rear enough to clear the slotted mounting tab
and the selector shaft.

cap screws.
