MAINTENANCE 71
4. To decrease ski stance, place both
ski stance spacers to the inside of
the spindle.
5. Apply a low-temperature grease to
the non-threaded portion of the cap
screw; then slide the cap screw
through the ski accounting for the
rubber damper, inserts, and wash-
ers.
NOTE: Install the cap screw so
the slotted nut will be located to
the inside of the ski.
6. Apply red Loctite #271 to the
threads of the cap screw; then
tighten the nut to 45 ft-lb.
7. Place the cotter pin into the ski cap
screw and spread the pin.
8. Repeat procedure for the other ski.
RAIL WEAR STRIPS
Arctic Cat recommends that the wear
strips be checked weekly and replaced
as necessary. Measure the wear strips at
25.4 cm (10 in.) intervals. Wear strips
must be 10.7 mm (0.42 in.) thick or
thicker.
If wear strip measurements are less
than specified, replacement of both
wear strips is necessary to prevent pre-
mature track clip wear and possible
track damage. Take the snowmobile to
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for this service. This service is at
the discretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner.
Each time a new set of wear strips are
installed, they should be tempered.
Temper the wear strips by driving the
snowmobile for approximately a mile
on a hard pack trail; then immediately
drive into deep snow and allow the
wear strips to cool. Repeat the proce-
dure (warming up the wear strips; then
cooling them down) two or three times.
NOTE: The rail wear strips will
wear rapidly if the snowmobile is
operated on terrain on which the
snow cover is minimal. Loose
snow is required to cool and lubri-
cate the wear strips and prevent
accelerated wear.
