1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the correct identification, ordering, and use of your EasyKeys replacement key, specifically designed for Arctic Cat vehicles requiring the C56709 key code. This key is also compatible with certain Suzuki and Yamaha models.
The replacement key is custom-cut to match the C56709 code within the Arctic Cat C50000 - C59999 key series, utilizing an X117 key blank.
2. Identifying Your Lock Code
To ensure you order the correct replacement key, it is crucial to accurately identify your vehicle's lock code. The lock code is typically a combination of letters and numbers.

Image Description: This diagram illustrates four common locations where you can find your lock code. The top left shows a key with 'FR322' stamped on it, indicating the code can be found On the Key. The top right shows a lock cylinder with 'FR322' visible on its face, indicating the code can be found On the Lock Face. The bottom left shows a label with 'CODE: G38' attached to a component, indicating the code can be found On a Label Inside/Behind the Lock. The bottom right shows a lock and a label with 'HF321', indicating the code can be found On the Cabinet/Door Label.
Important Notes:
- Order by Manufacturer: Lock codes are specific to the manufacturer. Always verify that the manufacturer of your vehicle matches the key's intended compatibility.
- Key Cuts Differ: Even if lock codes appear similar, the actual key cuts can vary significantly between different brands. Ensure both the code and manufacturer are correct.
3. Ordering Your Replacement Key
Once you have identified your lock code, follow these steps to ensure you order the correct replacement key:
- Verify Lock Code: Confirm that your lock code is C56709. This key is specifically cut for this code.
- Confirm Manufacturer: Ensure your vehicle is an Arctic Cat, Suzuki, or Yamaha model. This key is compatible with these manufacturers for the specified lock series.
- Key Series: This key belongs to the Arctic Cat C50000 - C59999 series.
- Key Blank: The key is cut on an X117 key blank.
Double-checking these details will prevent ordering an incorrect key.
4. Using Your Replacement Key
Using your new replacement key is straightforward:
- Insert Key: Gently insert the key into the lock cylinder. Do not force the key if it does not slide in smoothly.
- Turn Key: Once fully inserted, turn the key clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the lock mechanism, to engage or disengage the lock.
- Remove Key: After operating the lock, return the key to its original position (usually vertical) before removing it.
If the key does not turn or feels stiff, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
5. Key Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your replacement key and ensure reliable operation:
- Avoid Bending: Do not use excessive force or attempt to bend the key, as this can damage its structure and render it unusable.
- Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the key with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris that could accumulate in the lock mechanism.
- Storage: Store the key in a safe place where it will not be exposed to extreme temperatures or corrosive substances.
6. Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you encounter issues with your replacement key, consider the following:
- Key Does Not Fit: Re-verify your lock code and the manufacturer of your vehicle. An incorrect code or manufacturer will result in a non-fitting key.
- Key Does Not Turn: Ensure the key is fully inserted. Check for any obstructions in the lock cylinder. If the lock mechanism is old or corroded, it may require professional attention.
- Stiff Operation: A small amount of graphite lubricant (not oil-based) can sometimes improve the smoothness of the lock mechanism. Apply sparingly.
If problems persist after troubleshooting, contact customer support.
