NOTE: On the 570 cc to access the
switch connectors, open the left-side
access panel and remove the belt
guard; then locate the switch on the
left-side of the carburetor and trace
the wire to the connector.
0743-448
NOTE: On the F5/1100 cc if the
throttle control lever operates prop-
erly and the engine does not start, a
malfunctioning monitor switch may
be the problem. Take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for service. If not
under warranty, this service is at the
discretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner. However, if a dire
emergency exists wherein the
engine must be started, disconnect
the throttle monitor switch located in
the right-side handlebar control.
NOTE: On the F5/1100 cc if discon-
nection of the throttle monitor switch is
needed to start the engine, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for service as soon
as possible. If not under warranty, this
service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
NOTE: The monitor switch is now
bypassed. All other ignition/electrical
features (ignition switch, emergency
stop switch, headlight, taillight, and
brakelight) will operate properly.
Varying Altitude
Operation
Operating a snowmobile at varying alti-
tudes requires changes in performance
components. These changes affect drive
train components
(on certain models)
and carburetion components (570 cc).
The altitude information decal is located
on the belt guard of the snowmobile (F5/
F570). On the Bearcat 570/T570, the
information is incorporated into the Car-
buretor Jet Chart decal on the belt guard.
NOTE: Just as important as cali-
brating the snowmobile for higher alti-
tudes is recalibrating the snowmobile
when going to lower altitudes. Always
consult the altitude decal.
NOTE: Carburetion and drive train
changes can be made by the snowmo-
bile owner if qualified to do so. If the
owner does not feel qualified, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for this service.
This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner
.
! WARNING
Under no circumstances should dis-
connection of the throttle control wir-
ing harness be used as a substitute
for the monitor switch during normal
operation of the snowmobile. Per-
sonal injury and damage could occur
if the throttle system malfunctions or
if the operator is unable to stop the
engine in an emergency. If the snow-
mobile must be operated with a dis-
connected throttle control wiring
harness, EXTREME CAUTION MUST
BE TAKEN. NEVER EXCEED 10 MPH
WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL
WIRING HARNESS DISCONNECTED.
CAUTION
On the 570 cc, carefully follow the
Carburetor Jet Chart recommenda-
tions for proper altitude calibration.
