If the coolant temperature is at or above
115° C (239° F), the coolant temperature
warning icon will flash a warning (alert)
and the engine will “surge” to alert the
operator. If the coolant temperature is at or
above 117° C (243° F), the coolant tem-
perature warning icon will cease flashing
and will remain constantly illuminated.
NOTE: If the coolant temperature
icon is constantly on, the engine will
shut off if vehicle speed is reduced
to 1.5 kph (0.9 MPH) or slower.
Charging System Warning
Icon (Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1
Models)
The Charging System Warning Icon is
designed to warn the operator if the bat-
tery charging system is not functioning.
The icon should illuminate each time the
key is turned to RUN or START, and it
should go out when the engine starts. If
the icon stays illuminated or it illumi-
nates while the engine is running, the bat-
tery is not being charged, and the
snowmobile is running on battery reserve
power only.
If the Charging System Warning Icon
illuminates, you should, as soon as possi-
ble, take the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for ser-
vice. If not under warranty, this service is
at the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner. The engine
WILL
NOT RUN
without battery power.
Low Oil Warning Icon
(Bearcat 570/T570
Models)
The Low Oil Warning Icon is designed to
alert the snowmobile operator when the
oil in the oil injection reservoir gets
below a prescribed level; however, it is
highly recommended that a visual verifi-
cation of the oil level in the reservoir be
done prior to operating the snowmobile.
Once the Low Oil Warning Icon illumi-
nates during operation of the snowmo-
bile, the operator must periodically
monitor the level of oil in the reservoir
and must fill the reservoir the next time
gasoline is added to the gas tank. The
“alert level” of the Low Oil Warning Icon
is approximately equal to 1 tankful of
gasoline under normal operating condi-
tions.
Oil Pressure Warning Icon
(Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1
Models)
The Oil Pressure Warning Icon indicates
engine oil pressure, not the oil level;
however, if the oil level is low, it may
affect oil pressure.
The icon should illuminate each time the
ignition switch is turned to RUN or
START, and it should go out when the
engine starts. If the icon illuminates
while the engine is running, oil pressure
has been lost and the engine will auto-
matically shut off.
If oil pressure is lost, use the following
procedure to check the oil level:
1. With the engine off, remove the
engine oil level stick and wipe it
clean. Without screwing it in, set the
stick back in the oil tank. Remove it
and observe the oil level on the
stick. If the oil level is at or below
the ADD mark on the oil level stick,
add only enough recommended oil
to raise the level to the NORMAL
range. DO NOT overfill the reser-
voir with oil.
2. Open the air bleed bolt located on
the oil pump (beneath the coolant
tank) to purge air from the oil hose.
Steady Flash (Coolant
Temperature Icon)
Coolant Temperature
Above 115° C (239° F).
Constant On (Coolant
Temperature Icon)
Coolant Temperature
Above 117° C (243° F).
CAUTION
At this point, take precautionary
measures such as changing to loose
snow terrain, shutting the engine off
(allowing the engine to cool down),
and checking coolant level. If unable
to either determine or remedy the
problem, take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for service. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discre-
tion and expense of the snowmobile
owner.
