E. Install the wheel. Tighten to 5.5 kg-m (40 ft-lb).
5. Burnish the brake pads (see Burnishing Brake
Pads in this section).
Burnishing Brake Pads
All brake pads must be burnished to achieve full brak-
ing 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
until brake pads are burnished.
4. Verify that the brakelight illuminates when the
hand lever is compressed or the brake pedal is
depressed.
Coolant
The cooling system capacity is approximately 2.7 L
(2.8 U.S. qt). The cooling system should be inspected
daily for leakage and damage. Also, the coolant level
should be checked periodically.
When filling the cooling system, use premixed Arctic
Cat Antifreeze (p/n 0638-395). While the cooling sys-
tem 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
upper level mark in the expansion tank.

Checking/Replacing
V-Belt
DRAINING COVER
There is a “duck bill” drain for draining water from the
V-belt cover.
KX384A
To drain the cover, use the following procedure.
1. Elevate the rear of the ATV (no more than 25°) to
allow water trapped in the V-belt cover to run into
the cooling inlet duct and drain out through the
“duck bill” drain.
2. Shift the range lever to the neutral position; then
start the engine.
3. Increase and decrease the RPM several times to
“blow out” any water; then stop the engine.

NOTE: Always inspect the drain whenever ser-
vicing/replacing the V-belt.
! 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.
