This vehicle can be hazardous to operate.

A snowmobile is a very high performance vehicle. Because it does accelerate rapidly and is
capable of very high speeds, it should not be operated by a novice or an inexperienced opera-
tor. Never accelerate rapidly or drive at high speed beyond the limits of visibility or without
being totally familiar with the terrain and what lies in front of you. Obey speed limits and
never operate at speeds that do not allow adequate maneuvering and stopping distances. Read
and study the entire Operator’s Manual and Snowmobile Safety Handbook.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury to yourself or others. For your
safety, understand and follow all the warnings contained in this Operator’s Manual and on
the labels on this vehicle.
Keep this Operator’s Manual with this vehicle at all times. If you lose your manual, contact
your authorized dealer for a free replacement. The labels should be considered permanent
parts of the vehicle. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your authorized
dealer for a free replacement. Contact Arctic Cat Service Department, P.O. Box 810, Thief
River Falls, MN 56701, for proper registration information.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
The Operator’s Manual, Snowmobile Safety Handbook, and Snowmobile Decals display
important information:

The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! BE

! ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

! WARNING WARNING identifies personal safety-related informa-

tion. Follow the directive because it deals with the pos-
sibility of serious personal injury or even death.
CAUTION CAUTION, without the safety alert symbol, identifies
unsafe practices which may result in snowmobile-
related damage. Follow the directive because it
deals with the possibility of damaging part or parts of
the snowmobile.
 NOTE: A NOTE identifies supplementary information wor-
thy of particular attention.

Personal Injury
• To avoid injury to yourself and others, NEVER operate the snowmobile without first
reading and understanding this manual and the Snowmobile Safety Handbook; then fol-
low the instructions and heed the warnings given.
• USE COMMON SENSE.
• DON’T DRINK and DRIVE.
• STAY IN CONTROL at ALL TIMES.
• TELL YOUR FRIENDS. If you see a friend operating a snowmobile recklessly, at exces-
sive speeds, while intoxicated, or in other unsafe ways, don’t wait until it is too late to
warn of the consequences of snowmobile misuse. Such conduct endangers everyone.
TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE SAFETY OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

Exhaust-Controlled
Timing (ECT) System
This system automatically adjusts the igni-
tion timing to provide maximum perfor-
mance through a variety of operating
conditions. The ECM receives input on
engine RPM (demand) and exhaust pipe
temperature (engine condition) and adjusts
the ignition timing accordingly. This system
is not adjustable and is maintenance free.
If a system fault is suspected, use an ohm-
meter to check continuity of the exhaust
pipe temperature sensor located in the
expansion chamber. A reading of either 0
ohm or infinity indicates a failed sensor.
 NOTE: A disabled ECT system WILL
NOT cause engine damage; however,
a failed ECT system will have slower
throttle response and may produce
slightly less top-end performance.

ing harness be used as a substitute
for the monitor switch during normal
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-

 NOTE: The monitor switch is now
bypassed. All other ignition/electrical
features (ignition switch, emergency
stop switch, headlight, taillight, and

Varying Altitude
Operation
Operating a snowmobile at varying alti-
tudes requires changes in performance
components. These changes affect drive-
train components.
For altitude information, see the appro-
priate specifications sheet.
 NOTE: Just as important as cali-
brating the snowmobile for higher
altitudes is recalibrating the snowmo-
bile when going to lower altitudes.
These models are initially set up at the
factory for operation between 0-3000 feet
(0-915 m) elevation.
 NOTE: Drivetrain changes can be
made by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner does

 Limited Warranty
Arctic Cat Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Arctic Cat) extends a limited warranty as described below on
each new Arctic Cat Snowmobile it assembles and on each genuine Arctic Cat Snowmobile part and
accessory assembled and sold by an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. The limited warranty
on an Arctic Cat Snowmobile is extended to the original retail purchaser for the time periods
described below; however, the balance of the remaining warranty may be transferred to another party
unless the purchase is for commercial use (see below). Warranty coverage is only available in the
country in which the original retail purchase occurs to the original retail purchaser resident in that
country or to a transferee resident in that country of the balance of the remaining warranty.
Arctic Cat warrants only the products it assembles and/or sells and does not warrant that other
products will function properly when used with an Arctic Cat Snowmobile or will not damage the Arctic
Cat Snowmobile. Arctic Cat does not assume any liability for incidental or consequential damages.
Arctic Cat will repair or replace, at its option, free of charge (including any related labor charges), any
parts that are found to be warrantable in material or workmanship. This repair work MUST be done by
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. No transportation charges, rental charges, or
inconvenience costs will be paid by Arctic Cat. The warranty is validated upon examination of said parts
by Arctic Cat or an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. Arctic Cat reserves the right to inspect
such parts at its factory for final determination if warranty should apply.
The warranty periods are as follows:
1. For snowmobiles used for recreational purposes:
—If purchased between May 1 and November 30, warranty expires ONE (1) YEAR from December 1 of the
current year.
—If purchased between December 1 and April 30, ONE (1) YEAR from the date of sale.
2. For snowmobiles used for commercial purposes (including rental operations), ONE (1) YEAR from the
date of invoice and/or 5000 MILES whichever comes first (non-transferable).
3. THIRTY (30) DAYS from date of sale of snowmobile on Arctic Cat supplied batteries.
Exclusions to this warranty include normal wear, abuse (i.e. a track run on marginal snow conditions
without proper lubrication or additional idler wheels), and the following parts:
Fuel Filter Light Bulbs Windshield Drive Belt Torn or Punctured Upholstery
Wear Bars Brake Pads Spark Plugs Drive Clutch/Driven Clutch Wear Parts
Wear Strips Shock Absorber(s)*
*Limited to one (1) year or 1000 miles of “normal” riding conditions — replace for defective or leaking
shock, corroded or pitted shaft, peeling chrome.
 NOTE: Snowmobiles that are factory equipped with FOX shocks and experience a shock failure within
the factory warranty period (1 year) must not be tampered with. Only the “Schrader” (air pressure) valve is
serviceable during the warranty period. Failures (air leaks) must be confirmed by following the test proce-
dure as shown in the service manual. Any other tampering with the shock will void the FOX warranty.
The following will VOID Arctic Cat’s warranty:
1. Failure to perform the proper break-in procedure and all related maintenance, storage procedures (if
stored for extended periods), and/or service as recommended in the Operator’s Manual.
2. Repairs and/or adjustments by anyone other than an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.
3. Use of an improper fuel mixture ratio.
4. Use of improper carburetor jets.
5. Use of improper gasoline, lubricating oils, or spark plugs.
6. An accident or subjecting the snowmobile to misuse, abuse, or negligent operation.
7. Any modification, addition, or removal of parts unless instructed to do so by Arctic Cat.
8. Use of the snowmobile in any way for racing purposes.
9. Removal of the engine for use in another vehicle.
10. Removal or mutilation of the Vehicle Identification Number or Engine Serial Number.
11. Use of parts not sold or approved by Arctic Cat.
12. Track and tunnel damage resulting from either ice stud or hooker plate installation.
13. Damage due to improper transportation.
Arctic Cat shall not be responsible for and this limited warranty excludes recovery of economic,
punitive, consequential and incidental damages, lost profits, and loss of use. Some states or
provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation may not apply to you. Arctic Cat’s aggregate liability may not exceed the price of the
product. The law of the State of Minnesota shall apply to all claims or disputes, exclusive of its
conflicts of law provisions.
IMPLIED WARRANTY EXCLUSION AND DISCLAIMER
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Arctic Cat excludes and disclaims all implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
If you are not satisfied with warranty service or repairs, you should contact Arctic Cat at:
(U.S.) 218-681-9851 or (Canada) 204-982-1656.

 Warranty Procedure/Owner Responsibility
At the time of sale, an Owner Registration form is to be completed by the selling dealer
and consumer. The receipt of the registration form by Arctic Cat is a condition precedent
to warranty coverage. It is the selling dealer’s responsibility to retain and/or submit the
appropriate copies of the form to the appropriate place(s) to initiate warranty coverage.
The dealer will furnish to the consumer a signed copy of the form which must be pre-
sented to the dealer when requesting warranty service. The registration form is the con-
sumer’s proof of ownership and warranty eligibility. The form is used by the dealer to
validate the warranty claim. Retain your copy of the form and keep it in a safe place.
When warranty repair is suspected, the snowmobile should be taken to the selling
dealer, who has the primary responsibility to perform warranty repairs. Subject to the
limitations set forth in the Limited Warranty, in the event the selling dealer has ceased
to do business, you have moved, or you are in a location away from your selling dealer,
warranty may be performed by any authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.
The authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer will examine the snowmobile or part to
determine if, in his opinion, a warrantable condition exists. If a warrantable condition
appears to exist, the dealer will repair or replace, at Arctic Cat’s option, free of charge,
including any related labor costs, all parts that are found to be warrantable and any
other parts which the warrantable part caused to be damaged. You, the consumer, will
then be asked to sign a warranty form to ensure Arctic Cat that the warranty work was
actually performed.
It is the consumer’s responsibility to maintain and service the snowmobile in accor-
dance with Arctic Cat’s recommendations in the Operator’s Manual. To protect yourself
and your snowmobile, follow all safety and service tips. Arctic Cat will NOT warrant
repairs required as a result of not performing standard operator maintenance, storage
procedures, and service as outlined in the Operator’s Manual.
Should you have any questions concerning the warranty, contact an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer.
