15. Tip the snowmobile onto its right
side and place a piece of card-
board underneath.
16. Remove the drain plug from the
gear case; then install the drain
adapter fitting with hose into the
drain plug hole.
17. Tip the snowmobile back to the
upright position; then place a
drain pan on the floor next to the
drain hose and tip the snowmobile
toward its left side far enough to
allow the flush fluid to drain from
the gear case into the drain pan.
18. Secure the snowmobile in this
position until the flush fluid is
completely drained.
19. When the fluid has completely
drained from the gear case, tip the
snowmobile back to the upright
position, remove the drain
adapter, and install and securely
tighten the drain plug; then
remove the check/fill plug.
20. Pour the exact amount (see speci-
fication sheet) of Arctic Cat ACT
Drive Fluid lubricant into the
check/fill hole; then install the
plug. Tighten securely.
21. Install the driven pulley; then
install the drive belt (see Drive
Belt sub-section).

FRONT SUSPENSION
 NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends
that Arctic Cat Low-Temp
Grease (p/n 0636-593) be used
for this procedure.
It is very important that the front sus-
pension is greased on a monthly basis
using low-temperature grease. The
front suspension should also be
greased after trailering the snowmo-
bile on an open trailer. Pump grease
into the spindle grease fitting (both
sides) until grease is noted coming out
of the top and bottom of the spindle.
Wipe excess grease from the spindle.
! CAUTION
It is critical that all of the flush
fluid be drained from the gear
case prior to filling with new
lubricant.
! CAUTION
The correct lubricant to use in
the gear case is Arctic Cat ACT
Drive Fluid (p/n 4639-362) for
models with reverse or (p/n 4639-
361) for models without reverse.
Any substitute may cause seri-
ous damage to the drive system.
! CAUTION
Do Not add more or less than the
recommended amount of lubri-
cant to the gear case or damage
to the gear case will occur.
