FOREWORD
Since Arctic constantly refines and improves its products, several improvements in the 1980 Panther and
Pantera
Snowmobiles occurred during the 1979-1980 snowmobile season. This supplement will cover the
most significant improvements. Use this supplement in conjunction with the Arctic Cat Service Manual
-1980 Panther/Pantera January 1980 edition.
Major changes may be added to or deleted from the Service Manual in entirety as noted by the wo rd s
''Add'' or ''Delete''. Minor deletions are noted by lining out ( --) ; minor additions are noted by
underlining ( ).
This supplement uses the words Warning, Caution, and Note to emphasize certain information. The sym-
bol A
WARNING & identifies personal safety-related information. Therefore, be sure to read the directive
because
it deals with the possibility of personal injury. The symbol •CAUTION• identifies snowmobile-
related
information. Be sure to read the directive because it deals with the possibility of damaging a part
or parts of the snowmobile. If the directive is violated, the snowmobile will usually sustain major damage.
The
symbol NOTE: identifies supplementary information worthy of particular attention.
At the time of publication, all information, photographs, specifications, and illustrations were technically
correct. Because
Arctic Enterprises, Inc. constantly refines and improves its products , no retroactive
obligation is incurred.
Keep
this supplement and the corresponding Service Manual accessible in the shop area for reference.
