Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Puma 340 Snowmobile (1970-1997)
The Arctic Cat Puma 340 is a snowmobile model produced from 1970 to 1997. Known for its reliability and straightforward design, it consistently featured a 339cc to 340cc engine throughout its long production run. These fan-cooled engines, sourced from various manufacturers like Hirth, JLO, Kawasaki, and later Suzuki, provided modest but dependable power, making the Puma 340 a practical choice for recreational use. Over its nearly three-decade history, the Puma 340 saw several notable changes. In 1970, a new "short" chassis design was introduced. A significant hiatus occurred in the early 1980s due to Arctic Enterprises' bankruptcy, with production resuming under Arctco in 1984. The mid-1990s brought a new body style in 1995, sharing its chassis platform with other models like the Jag, and commonly featuring a Suzuki twin engine. Trims varied, including the Puma Mod in 1970, engine-specific versions in 1971, and later the Puma, Puma 2-Up, and Puma Deluxe in the mid-90s.

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Engine Oil Filter | Not applicable | The 2-stroke engine of the Puma 340 does not use a conventional engine oil filter. Oil is pre-mixed with fuel or injected directly. |
| Drive Belt | Regular inspection, replace as needed | New belts require a break-in period of approximately 40 km at moderate throttle. Inspect frequently for wear, fraying, or cracks. Lifespan can vary from 1,600 to 3,200 km depending on usage. |
| Spark Plug | Annually | Generally replace before the start of the snowmobiling season for moderate use. Aggressive riding may require more frequent replacement. |
| Air Filter | Every 40 to 80 hours or after each ride in dusty conditions | Inspect frequently. Clean if lightly soiled and structurally sound, otherwise replace. Some riders clean after every ride in dusty environments. |
