40 MAINTENANCE
The longevity and safety of the snow-
mobile can be increased by making
periodic checks of the items in the pre-
ceding 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 snow-
mobile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for inspection and
adjustment or repair. If not under war-
ranty, 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 snowmobile owner.
AIR CLEANER/FILTER
(1100 cc Turbo)
The air filter inside the air cleaner
housing must be kept clean to provide
good engine power and gas mileage. If
the snowmobile is used under normal
conditions, inspect the filter weekly
and replace the filter at the intervals
specified. If operated in adverse condi-
tions, inspect and service the filter
more frequently. Use the following
procedure to remove the filter and to
inspect and/or clean/replace it.
1. Remove the air cleaner cover; then
remove the air filter.
2. Clean the foam filter with warm
soapy water; then allow it to dry
thoroughly.
3. Clean any debris from inside the
air intake plenum.
4. Place the filter into the plenum.
5. Secure the air cleaner cover onto
the plenum.
FUEL SYSTEM
! 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 to dry
the filter. Damage to the filter may
occur.
! CAUTION
A torn air filter can cause damage
to the turbocharger/engine. Con-
taminants may get inside the turbo-
charger/engine if the filter is torn.
Carefully examine the filter for
holes or tears before and after
cleaning it. 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 sys-
tem in which there may be fuel
leakage, there should be no weld-
ing, smoking, open flames, etc., in
the area.
