Lubrication
Chain Case
NOTE: The snowmobile must be
on a level surface for this procedure.
1. Check the lubricant level in the
chain case by using the sight glass.
0746-115
NOTE: The correct level is when
the lubricant is at least halfway up in
the sight glass.
NOTE: Adding lubricant can be
done 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
.
2. On the 800 cc models if the lube level
is low, remove the fill plug from the
chain case; then add the appropriate
amount of Arctic Cat Synthetic Trans-
mission Lube (p/n 5639-039) in the
fill hole. Install the plug.
3. On the 1100 cc models if the lube
level is low, remove the three screws
securing the shift actuator to the
chain case, disconnect the actuator
wiring harness, and remove the actu-
ator w/extension; then add apropri-
ate amount of Arctic Cat Synthetic
Chain Lube (p/n 5639-039) through
the shift actuator opening. When the
lube is halfway up the sight glass,
install the shift actuator w/extension
and connect the actuator wiring har-
ness. Tighten screws to 36 in.-lb.

4. On the 1100 cc models, start the
engine and verify proper reverse and
forward operation by shifting in and
out of reverse three times.
NOTE: If excessive build-up of
moisture or discolored oil is
detected in the chain case, it may be
necessary to replace the lube.
NOTE: Replacing the lubricant can
be done 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
.
To replace the lubricant, use the follow-
ing procedure:
NOTE: The side panels, hood, and
exhaust resonator must be removed
for this procedure.
1. Place a drain pan on the floor beneath
the snowmobile to allow the lubri-
cant to drain from the chain case into
the drain pan.
2. Loosen the eleven torx-head screws
securing the chain case cover (with
oil reservoir) to the chain case.
Remove the cover and allow the oil to
drain into the drain pan.
NOTE: It is critical the snowmobile is
on a level surface to ensure the lubri-
cant drains properly and completely.
CAUTION
When installing the shift actuator,
rotate the actuator back and forth to
properly align it with the extension
gear. Failure to do so could cause
component damage.
