NOTE: On the non-turbo models,
the fuel filter is located below the
steering support. To access the filter,
the hood must be removed (see
Access Panel/Hood (Removing/
Installing) in the General Information
section of this manual).
NOTE: On the turbo models, the
fuel filter is located between the gas
tank and the rear belt guard and is
secured to the tunnel with a filter
bracket. To access the filter, the left-
side access panel must be opened
and the lower console must be
unlatched and opened.
1. Remove the hose clamps and dis-
card; then slowly remove the fuel
hoses from the fuel filter. Dispose of
the excess fuel from the filter prop-
erly.
2. Inspect the fuel hoses thoroughly for
any signs of cracking, cuts, or wear
points.
3. Place the new hose clamps on the
fuel hoses; then with the fuel pump
inlet and outlet noted, connect the
fuel hoses to the fuel filter. Secure
with the hose clamps.
NOTE: After completing the
changing of the fuel filter and the
engine is started for the first time,
inspect the filter area for any signs
of leaks.

Gasoline Additives
Fuel de-icer can be used for all models.
Also, periodic use of an injector cleaner
for 800 cc models is recommended espe-
cially in the last tank of gasoline before
storage. Arctic Cat Fuel Stabilizer (p/n
0436-907) should also be added to the
last tank of gasoline before storage.
Fuel Pickup Valves
If ever there is a restricted fuel flow and a
pickup valve is suspected, take the snow-
mobile to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for this service. If not under
warranty, this service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile owner.
Checking Engine Oil
Level (1100 cc Models)
NOTE: The engine must be at
operating temperature before check-
ing the oil level or an incorrect oil
level will result.
1. Park the snowmobile on a level surface;
then start the engine and allow to warm
up for 5-10 minutes, or if the snowmo-
bile was operated, allow the engine to
idle for approximately 30 seconds.
NOTE: The snowmobile must be
on a level surface for this procedure.
2. Shut the engine off; then remove the
right-side access panel and verify oil
is visible at least halfway up in the
sight glass.

CAUTION
Make sure the fuel filter is properly
seated into the holder located on the
tunnel behind the driven shaft.
CAUTION
If the engine and oil are not at oper-
ating temperature, the oil will not be
visible in the sight glass. Tip the
snowmobile to the right at a 45°
angle; then check to see if oil is
present in the sight glass.
