FOREWORD

This Arctic Cat Service Manual contains service, maintenance, and troubleshooting information for the 2006 Arc-
tic Cat ATV models. The complete manual is designed to aid service personnel in service-oriented applications.
This manual is divided into sections. Each section covers a specific ATV component or system and, in addition to
the standard service procedures, includes disassembling, inspecting, and assembling instructions. When using this
manual as a guide, the technician should use discretion as to how much disassembly is needed to correct any given
condition.
The service technician should become familiar with the operation and construction of each component or system
by carefully studying the complete manual. This manual will assist the service technician in becoming more
aware of and efficient with servicing procedures. Such efficiency not only helps build consumer confidence but
also saves time and labor.
All Arctic Cat ATV publications and decals display the words Warning, Caution, Note, and At This Point to
emphasize important information. The symbol ! WARNING identifies personal safety-related information.
Be sure to follow the directive because it deals with the possibility of severe personal injury or even death. The
symbol ! CAUTION identifies unsafe practices which may result in ATV-related damage. Follow the direc-
tive because it deals with the possibility of damaging part or parts of the ATV. The symbol „ NOTE: identifies
supplementary information worthy of particular attention. The symbol  AT THIS POINT directs the
technician to certain and specific procedures to promote efficiency and to improve clarity.
At the time of publication, all information, photographs, and illustrations were technically correct. Some photo-
graphs used in this manual are used for clarity purposes only and are not designed to depict actual conditions.
Because Arctic Cat Inc. constantly refines and improves its products, no retroactive obligation is incurred.
All materials and specifications are subject to change without notice.
Keep this manual accessible in the shop area for reference.

Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the
gas tank must be filled to its rated capacity only.
Expansion room must be maintained in the tank par-

then moved to a warm area.

FILLING GAS TANK


Preparation
! WARNING For Storage
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area.
Never add fuel to the ATV gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE
while filling the gas tank. ! CAUTION
Prior to storing the ATV, it must be properly ser-
viced to prevent rusting and component deteriora-
tion.

Arctic Cat recommends the following procedure to


prepare the ATV for storage.
1. Clean the seat cushion (cover and base) with a
damp cloth and allow it to dry.
2. Clean the ATV thoroughly by washing dirt, oil,
grass, and other foreign matter from the entire
ATV. Allow the ATV to dry thoroughly. DO
NOT get water into any part of the engine or air

free riding. Arctic Cat recommends the following
procedure to prepare the ATV.
1. Clean the ATV thoroughly.
2. Clean the engine. Remove the cloth from the
exhaust system.

This section has been organized into sub-sections


which show a progression for the complete servic-
ing of the Arctic Cat ATV engine/transmission.
To service the center crankcase halves, the
engine/transmission must be removed from the
frame.
To service top-side, left-side, and right-side compo-
nents, the engine/transmission does not have to be
removed from the frame.
„ NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of new
gaskets, lock nuts, and seals and lubricating all
internal components when servicing the
