The longevity and safety of the snowmo-

bile can be increased by making periodic

checks of the items in the preceding

checklist.
If, at any time, abnormal noises, vibra-

tions, or improper working conditions of

any component of this snowmobile are

detected, DO NOT OPERATE THE

SNOWMOBILE. Take the snowmobile

to an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile

dealer for inspection and adjustment or

repair. If not under warranty, this service

is at the discretion and expense of the

snowmobile owner.
The snowmobile should be taken to an

authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer

at the end of each snowmobiling season

for general inspection and for off-season

storage servicing. This inspection and

servicing is at the expense of the snow-

mobile owner.

Air Cleaner/Filter (1100

cc Turbo Models)

The air filter inside the air cleaner hous-

ing must be kept clean to provide good

engine power and gas mileage. If the

snowmobile is used under normal condi-

tions, inspect the filter weekly and

replace the filter at the intervals speci-

fied. If operated in adverse conditions,

inspect and service the filter more fre-

quently. Use the following procedure to

remove the filter and to inspect and/or

replace it.

1. Remove the left-side access panel;

then remove the air filter from the

housing.

2. Inspect the air filter for dirt or dam-

age.

3. Clean any debris from inside the air

intake plenum.

4. Place the new filter (if necessary)

into the housing; then install the left-

side access panel.

Fuel System

In-Line Fuel Filter (1100 cc

Models)

Arctic Cat recommends that the in-line

fuel filter be replaced every 5000 miles.

The filter must be clean to allow the fuel

hose to transmit the amount of gasoline

required.
If the in-line fuel filter is obstructed, gas-

oline flow will be restricted; therefore,

the filter must be replaced. To remove

and install the in-line fuel filter, use the

following procedure:



NOTE: Before removing the fuel fil-

ter, take note that the filter is direc-
tional and the arrow should be
directed towards the engine.

CAUTION

Failure to inspect the air filter fre-
quently if the snowmobile is used in
adverse conditions can damage the
turbocharger/engine.

CAUTION

Do not use compressed air in an
attempt to clean the filter. Damage to
the filter may occur. If the filter is
dirty, it must be replaced.

CAUTION

A torn air filter can cause damage to
the turbocharger/engine. Contami-
nants may get inside the turbo-
charger/engine if the filter is torn.
Carefully examine the filter for holes
or tears. Replace the filter with a new
one if it is torn.

CAUTION

Do not run the engine without the air
filter installed. Severe damage to the
turbocharger/engine will occur.

! WARNING

Whenever any maintenance or
inspection is made on the fuel system
in which there may be fuel leakage,
there should be no welding, smoking,
open flames, etc., in the area.

! WARNING

Since the fuel supply hose may be
under pressure, always wear safety
glasses; then remove the hose slowly
to release the pressure. Place an
absorbent towel around the connec-
tion to absorb the fuel.
