 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 Chain Lube (p/n 5639-
038) 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 the
appropriate amount of Arctic Cat
Synthetic Chain Lube (p/n 5639-

ing. When the lube is halfway up the

 NOTE: If excessive build-up of
moisture or discolored oil is
detected in the chain case, it may be
necessary to replace the chain 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 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. Remove the cap 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 that the snow-
mobile is on a level surface to
ensure the lubricant 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.
