An Arctic Cat ATV Manual Can Save You Big Bucks!
Look
at the cost of just 1 hour of shop labor now. Compare that to the cost
of an Arctic Cat ATV manual. If you only save that 1 hour of shop labor
on a repair job, you've already more than paid for the manual!
And
that's based on the high dollar factory service manual. We'll tell you
about some money saving alternatives too. They don't have quite the
detail of the factory manual, but they're good enough to tackle most
repair jobs.
What Are the Choices for an Arctic Cat ATV Manual?- Factory Workshop Manual - Definitely the most expensive way to go. But you'll be looking
at the same manual the mechanic at the dealership is. What you won't have are all the special tools the factory manual will call for.
The
other thing you may notice is this manual assumes you have some
expertise and doesn't waste any time explaining basics. But you'll also
get much more detailed info about every part and procedure on your Arctic Cat ATV.
- Clymer ATV Service Manual
- Less expensive than the factory version. Written with the amateur
mechanic
in mind. Takes you step by step through disassembly and hopefully
reassembly of most components.They also give you some tips for
work-arounds when you don't have the fancy special factory tools.
- Haynes ATV Repair Manual -Written with the
Do-it-Yourselfer in mind. Only problem is they may not cover your
model. They don't go into as much detail as the full tilt factory
manual - but there is more than enough to keep almost any backyard
mechanic happy.
If nothing else it can help you decide if a
repair is something you want to tackle yourself or if you would be
better off to take it to a shop. After all - leaving a whatchmacallit
off the transmission doohickey can be expensive!
I've
used all of these manuals and would have to say the factory manual is
the best if you're pretty good with the wrenches and plan on keeping
your ATV long enough that it may need some major repairs.
The
other manuals are fine for most of us. They actually do a pretty good
job of guiding you through most repairs that a home mechanic would
normally try.
Now that shop labor these days will take a
big bite out of a $100 bill every hour - it won't take long to come out
way ahead with an Arctic Cat ATV Manual and a little sweat
equity.
