Complete Manual Information
Arctic Enterprises Arctic Cat Service Manual - 1971-1973
Technical precision is maintained through this factory-issued service manual, covering the engineering standards for early 1970s Arctic Cat snowmobiles. Reliability and operational uptime are directly linked to the verification of piston ring end gaps, which must be maintained between .006" and .014" to prevent catastrophic blowby or engine seizure. This document serves as the primary resource for workshop calibration, system overhauls, and field maintenance.
