Pads in this section).
Burnishing Brake Pads
Brake pads (both hydraulic and auxiliary) must be bur-
nished to achieve full braking effectiveness. Braking
distance will be extended until brake pads are properly
burnished. To properly burnish the brake pads, use the
following procedure.
1. Choose an area large enough to safely accelerate
the ATV to 30 mph and to brake to a stop.
2. Accelerate to 30 mph; then compress brake lever
or apply the auxiliary brake to decelerate to 0-5
mph.
3. Repeat procedure on each brake system five times.
4. Adjust the auxiliary brake (if necessary).
5. Verify that the brakelight illuminates when the
hand lever is compressed or the brake pedal is
depressed.
Coolant
When filling the cooling system, use premixed Arctic
Cat Antifreeze. While the cooling system is being
filled, air pockets may develop; therefore, run the
engine for five minutes after the initial fill, shut the
engine off, and then fill the cooling system to the bot-
tom of the stand pipe in the radiator neck.
Checking/Replacing
V-Belt
REMOVING
1. Remove the right-side footrest (see Section 8).
2. Remove the cap screws securing the V-belt cover;
then using a rubber mallet, gently tap on the cover
tabs to loosen the cover. Remove the cover.
! WARNING
Failure to properly burnish the brake pads could
lead to premature brake pad wear or brake loss.
Brake loss can result in severe injury.
! CAUTION
After operating the ATV for the initial 5-10 minutes,
stop the engine, allow the engine to cool down, and
check the coolant level. Add coolant as necessary.
