High Lifter Outlaw Clutch Kit for Arctic Cat 1000 Prowler XTZ (09-10) - Manual (Page 2)

5. Install the EPI secondary spring in the #1 hole in the helix and the B setting in the clutch. Align the helix on the
shaft and place the snap ring on the helix. Using the compression tool (EPI part # CCT510) slowly and carefully
compress until helix is approximately ½” above the plastic buttons. While holding the clutch, turn the helix
counterclockwise approximately ½ - 1” just enough for the helix to clear the plastic button. Compress the helix the
remainder of the way. Align the key way in the shaft and in the helix and install the key way and the snap ring.
Once the snap ring has been installed you can remove the clutch from the press. Set the clutch aside.
6. Remove the oil drain plug from the motor; if you can carefully drain it into a clean container you should be able to
reuse it. After oil is drained loosen the rear vent line and remove the bolts that hold the aluminum housing that
contains the internal clutch. This is the housing that has the shaft sticking out of it that the primary clutch sits on.
This machine has a two piece housing, remove the first part; it is sealed by a liquid gasket maker. Slowly remove
the second part of the housing, try not to damage the gasket. If gasket is damaged you will need to install a new
one. Some oil may leak from the housing when first removed, this is normal. Note: There is a directional
bearing inside the clutch housing that could fall while removing the housing.
7. Remove the nut (left handed threads) holding the internal clutch on. Slide the clutch basket off; keep track of which
side faces out. Place clutch on a clean work area. Push down slightly on the outside cover and remove the e-clips.
Keeping track of which way they come off remove the three round metal plates one at a time. This will allow you to
see and change the complete spring. Remove the stock sprague springs. Install the EPI springs by inserting the
spring into the outer edge first. Using a spring tool or pliers pull on the spring and insert the end into the hole.
Install the three metal plates and the e-clips. Slide the clutch basket back onto the machine. Install the nut and
torque it to 94 ft/lbs. If the directional bearing came out, replace the bearing on the inner Sprague clutch. The
bearing is stamped indicating which side faces out. Make sure to put the bearing on making sure the stamping is
facing out, if it did not come out when removing the housing it should be good. Install the gasket and install the
aluminum housing. Clean both surfaces of the second part of the clutch housing, put a thin layer of liquid gasket
and torque the housing bolts to 7.2 ft/lbs.
8. Install the clutch housing vent lines. Push the back half of the primary clutch back onto the shaft. Put the
secondary clutch on; make sure it slides on all the way. Torque the nut to 72 ft/lbs. Thread a clutch cover bolt into
one of the threaded holes on the side of the secondary clutch. This should spread the clutch sheaves apart. Most
belts have an arrow indicating direction of rotation. If your belt doesn’t, be sure to install it so that you can read the
part number. In either case, always run the belt the same direction as it was new.
9. Grab the primary clutch, push the inner part down with your thumbs and hold down as you pick up the clutch. While
holding the inner part of the clutch from moving, slide the primary clutch onto the shaft. This should keep the
rollers in place. Keep it pushed in until you can install the nut and washer. The clutch should slide all the way back
easily. If the clutch doesn’t seem to go on far enough to tighten the nut properly (it should slide all the way on to
the edge of the splines) you might have a roller out of place or the belt might be blocking it. If needed, move the
belt up and down to see if the clutch will slide on farther. If the rollers seem out of place take the clutch apart and
check roller location. Install the large nut and torque it to 83 ft/lbs. Remove the bolt that was threaded into the
secondary clutch.
10. Carefully install the clutch cover and gasket to ensure a good seal. Install the plastic rear panel. Install the fuel
tank, tighten the front and rear mounts and connect the fuel pump wires. Install the floor pan, drink holder, and the
center console. Install the plastic that goes under the seats, and then install seats.
11. Install oil drain plug. Refill your engine oil to the proper level according to owners manual. You can reuse your oil
if it is clean and was drained into a clean container. You must use NON Friction Modified oil (stock Arctic Cat). DO
NOT use oils with Friction Reducing Agents, this WILL CAUSE SLIPPAGE AND DAMAGE.
12. Go out and ride your machine. If the performance doesn’t seem right double check to make sure everything has
been done properly.
NOTICE: Even with this clutch kit, you should be advised that using substantial throttle when the tires are not able to
spin can cause the belt to slip and damage may occur. EPI recommends that the transmission be shifted into low
range when high load, slower speed situations are encountered. EPI is not responsible for any damage to the drive
belt or any other original equipment component.
