Effective Date: October, 2013
LIMITED WARRANTY
Arctic Cat Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Arctic Cat) extends a limited warranty
on each new Arctic Cat Prowler Track Kit sold and initially set up/installed by
an authorized Arctic Cat ROV dealer. Arctic Cat warrants that the product is
free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year
from the date of purchase by the original purchaser.
Arctic Cat warrants only the products it manufactures and/or sells and does not
warrant that other products will function properly when used with an Arctic Cat
Prowler or will damage the vehicle. Arctic Cat does not assume any liability for
incidental or consequential damages.
Arctic Cat will repair or replace, at its own option, any parts that are found to be
warrantable in material or workmanship. The repair work is required to be performed by an authorized Arctic Cat ROV dealer. Transportation charges will not
be paid by Arctic Cat. Warranty applies only to products which have been properly assembled, adjusted, and operated in accordance with the instructions sent
with the product. Warranty does not apply to any product of Arctic Cat that has
been subject to alteration, misuse, abuse, improper assembly or installation, normal wear, or normal maintenance. The warranty is validated upon examination
of said parts by Arctic Cat or an authorized Arctic Cat ROV dealer. Arctic Cat
reserves the right to inspect such parts at its factory for final determination if
warranty should apply.
In consideration of the foregoing, any implied warranty is limited in duration to
the various warranty periods set forth. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state or
country to country. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
NOTE:
!
! WARNING
CAUTION
The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! BE ALERT! YOUR
SAFETY IS INVOLVED.
Failure to follow WARNING instructions could result in severe
injury or death to the operator, a bystander, or a person inspecting or
repairing the vehicle.
A CAUTION indicates special precautions that must be taken to
avoid damage to the vehicle and/or the Tracks.
A NOTE provides key information to make procedures easier or
more clear.
NOTE: Carefully read all items in the Safe Operating Practices section of this manual.
! WARNING
Failure to observe the following Safe Operating Practices could result in serious injury and/or death.
Be aware with tracks installed, your ROV will have
different driving characteristics than with wheels.
Familiarize yourself with the ROV with tracks
installed. With a track system installed, the ROV has
new dimensions (wider, longer, and higher), it is
heavier and has greater ground traction on hard terrain,
but not on slippery ground such as ice or muddy clay.
Braking distances and maneuverability are therefore
affected. Installing this track system on a ROV reduces
ROV speed by about 35%, but does not affect loading
or towing capacities.
1. Read the Operation and servicing instructions in
this manual carefully.
2. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the ROV with this equipment.
3. Only allow responsible adults who are familiar with
the instructions to operate the ROV with this equipment. Never allow children to operate the ROV.
4. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain that all moving parts have stopped. Shut off
the engine.
! WARNING
The warning decal visible on the side of each frame
(see illustration) warns the operator about the danger
presented by the sprocket and wheels while rotating
the track. Watch for these components at all times.
TT-001
5. Do not operate the ROV if the tracks have been damaged in any way. Inspect and repair as necessary.
6. Check all fasteners after three hours of use and
after each repair or replacement of the track system components for tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe operating condition. See
maintenance schedule.
8. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as
necessary
.General Operation
! WARNING
Always operate the ROV in 4WD mode; this significantly reduces the possibility of derailing in any conditions.
! WARNING
Take into account that braking distance may
increase. Locking the tracks by braking may cause a
loss of control. Never try to make the tracks skid and
only operate the ROV in 4WD mode.
! WARNING
Never attempt to jump. Track systems were not
designed to perform this type of riding behavior.
Loss of control and/or breakage may occur with risk
of serious injuries or death. ROV’s equipped with
tracks should not be used for racing, jumping,
stunts, acrobatics, or any other application that may
cause the ROV to lose contact with the ground.

ROV-366A
! WARNING
There is a risk of serious injury if you try to touch the
track system components with your hands or feet
when the ROV is running. Your hands may get
caught between the components. For this reason,
always shut off the engine, remove the ignition key,
and engage the hand brake if you must check the
track system.
! WARNING
All components of the track system, without exception, must be removed when the original wheels of
the ROV are reinstalled. The wheeled ROV is not
designed to be used with these components.
! WARNING
A verification of the torque and adjustments must be
performed after three hours of use and after each
repair or replacement of the track system components.
ROV-364A
! WARNING
Avoid driving over obstacles such as large rocks,
tree trunks, or steep ridges that could become
lodged between the front and rear track systems
immobilizing the ROV. It is best to bypass this type of
obstacle.
! WARNING
Steep slopes are reached more easily with tracks
than with wheels, but that does not mean you can
safely venture on them. The limitations are the same
as those indicated in the Operator’s Manual of your
ROV.
! WARNING
Do not change direction during steep descents. This
can lead to a serious damage of the ROV’s steering
system and/or track systems. During a steep
descent, it is best to keep the track pointed in a forward direction turning only when the ROV is on a flat
ground to avoid causing a high amount of stress to
components of the ROV and track system.
ROV-363A
ROV-365A
! WARNING
Never exceed the loading or towing capacities specified by your ROV’s manufacturer on any type of terrain.
! WARNING
When the ROV is loaded, the operator should significantly
reduce speed and be extra careful on rough terrain.
! WARNING
Do not use the tracks as a step plate. The ROV could
move and injure you.
2
! WARNING
ROV speed should be reduced at all times. This track
system does not have the same shock absorption
and handling characteristics as tires.
! WARNING
The driving characteristics of your ROV will change
with the installation of the system. It is important to
take the time to become familiar with the system.
! WARNING
Tracks have more traction on the ground and may
project stones, dirt, or other debris. Be aware of the
proximity of people around you or following you.
! WARNING
Adapt your driving style to surrounding conditions
(weather, traffic, etc...) and to your driving abilities.
! WARNING
Always follow the ROV manufacturer’s safety rules
and regulations.
CAUTION
Never perform sharp turns with the 4x4 differential
lock engaged on high-traction terrain; doing so may
cause damage to ROV drive system components.
Some ROV’s may not have a 4x4 differential unlock
mode on the rear differential. For those ROV’s, avoid
the above mentioned situation by taking wider turns.
CAUTION
Two engine ratios are generally proposed (High/Low).
The High ratio should be used only on flat and hard
surfaces.
CAUTION
The rear of the track is not suitable for crossing large
obstacles or rolling in the snow backward. Be careful
when you perform any backward maneuver.
CAUTION
Driving through ruts over long distances can heat up
the track and may drastically reduce its durability.
CAUTION
When towing, hauling, or digging out the ROV, do not
attach anything to the tracks or the frame. The frame of
your ROV usually has specific locations for this purpose.
CAUTION
Before using the ROV, inspect the ROV and track system and make sure no mud, snow, ice, or debris hamper the proper function of moving parts of the track
system or ROV.
CAUTION
It is the driver’s responsibility to verify the air intake
of the ROV is well adapted to weather conditions and
is not blocked by snow accumulation.
CAUTION
Always have the ROV in 4WD when operating with
the track kit. Operating in 2WD will affect performance and may damage the ROV.
