PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
Prior to storing the snowmobile, it
must be properly serviced to pre-
vent corrosion and component dete-
rioration. An authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer should perform
this service; however, the owner/
operator can perform this service if
desired. To prepare the snowmobile
for storage, Arctic Cat recommends
the following procedure:
1. Clean the seat cushion with a
damp cloth and Arctic Cat
Vinyl Protectant (p/n 0638-
313).
2. Clean the snowmobile thor-
oughly by hosing dirt, oil,
grass, and other foreign matter
from the skid frame, tunnel,
hood, and belly pan. Allow the
snowmobile to dry thoroughly.
DO NOT get water into any
part of the engine.
3. Place the rear of the snowmo-
bile up on a shielded safety
stand.
4. Start the engine and allow to
idle. With the engine idling, pry
the intake boot forward; then
spray Arctic Cat Engine Stor-
age Preserver (p/n 0636-177)
into the intakes until the engine
exhaust starts to smoke heavily
or until the engine starts to drop
in RPM. Turn engine off.
5. Plug the exhaust system outlet
with a clean cloth.
6. With the ignition switch in the
OFF position:
A. Disconnect the high
tension leads from the
spark plugs; then remove
the plugs, connect them to
the leads, and ground them
on the cylinder heads.
B. Pour 29.5 ml (1 fl oz) of
SAE #30 petroleum-based
oil into each spark plug
hole and pull the recoil
starter handle slowly about
10 times.
C. Install the spark plugs and
connect the high tension
leads.
7. Fill the gas tank to its rated
capacity; then add Arctic Cat
Fuel Stabilizer (p/n 0638-165)
to the gas tank following direc-
tions on the container for the
s t a b i l i z e r / g a s o l i n e r a t i o .
Ti g h t e n t h e g a s t a n k c a p
securely.
8. Change the gear case fluid (see
Lubrication section).
9. Remove the drive belt from the
drive clutch/driven pulley. Lay
the belt on a flat surface or slide
it into a cardboard sleeve to pre-
vent warping or distortion dur-
ing storage.
10. Clean and inspect the drive
clutch and driven pulley.
! CAUTION
Never crank the engine over
without grounding the spark
plugs. Damage to coils and/or
CDI unit may result.
! CAUTION
When storing a drive belt, do
not twist, roll, or fold the belt.
Do not store the belt in the rear
storage compartment.
