3. Test the throttle control lever by

compressing and releasing it several

times. The lever MUST return to the

idle position quickly and completely.



NOTE: If the throttle control lever

operates properly and the engine
does not start, compress the throttle
lever slightly (approximately 1/8
throttle) and try starting the engine.
If the engine now starts and stops
when the throttle lever is released,
take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for service. If not under warranty,
this service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.

4. If the throttle control lever operates

properly, rotate the ignition key to

the RUN position and go through

normal starting procedures.



NOTE: If the throttle control lever

operates properly and the engine
does not start, a malfunctioning
monitor switch may be the problem.
Take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for service. If not under warranty,
this service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
However, if a dire emergency exists
wherein the engine must be started,
disconnect the throttle monitor
switch located in the right-side han-
dlebar control.



NOTE: If disconnection of the throt-

tle monitor switch is needed to start
the engine, take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for service as soon as possi-
ble. 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/electri-
cal features (ignition switch, emer-
gency 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)

For altitude information, see the appro-

priate specifications sheet.



NOTE: Just as important as cali-

brating the snowmobile for higher
altitudes is recalibrating the snow-
mobile when going to lower alti-
tudes.

XF models (except the XF 800 High

Country model) are initially set up at the

factory for operation between 0-3000 feet.
F models are initially set up at the factory

for operation between 0-5000 feet.
M models and the XF 800 High Country

model are initially set up at the factory

for operation between 6000-9000 feet.



NOTE: Drive train changes can be

made by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner does
not feel qualified, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for this service.
This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner

! WARNING

work properly, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO

! WARNING

Under no circumstances should dis-
connection of the throttle control wir-
ing harness be used as a substitute

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.
