NOTE: On the LXR models prior to
lowering and securing the seat, con-
nect the seat heater harness connector.
Fuses
Fuses protect the snowmobile electrical
system from overloading. If electrical
parts in the snowmobile are not working,
the system may have been overloaded and
caused a blown fuse. Before repairing or
replacing any electrical part, check the
appropriate fuses. If a fuse blows (opens a
circuit), all the parts of the snowmobile
that use that circuit will not work.
Once which fuse to check has been deter-
mined, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the fuse block and remove
the fuse block cover.
NOTE: To locate the fuse block on
the 1100 cc models, open the left-side
access panel; the fuse block is on the
belt guard. On the 800 cc models,
open the right-side access panel; the
fuse block is on the upper spar.

NOTE: There are spare fuses
beneath the fuse block cover.
2. Remove the suspected fuse.
NOTE: Fuse function desciptions
are next to the fuse contacts in the
fuse block.
3. Look through the clear side of the
fuse to see if the element inside is
burned or separated. If it is, the fuse
is blown and should be replaced
with a fuse of the correct amperage
rating.
4. Install the fuse block cover and close
the access panel.
Even after replacing a fuse, it may con-
tinue to blow if the cause of the overload
is not determined. If the fuse continues to
blow, take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
service. If not under warranty, this ser-
vice is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
Brake System
Arctic Cat recommends that the brake
system (brake lever, fluid reservoir, hose,
caliper, pads, and brake disc) be checked
daily for fluid leakage, wear, or damage
and for proper operation. Also, the brake
fluid level must be checked every time
before starting the engine.
Checking/Adding Brake
Fluid
1. With the brake fluid reservoir in a
level position and the cover
removed, check the fluid level. The
brake fluid level must be at the high
barke fluid mark in the reservoir.

! WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one hav-
ing the same specified amperage rat-
ing. Using a fuse with a higher rating
can cause severe wire damage and
could start a fire.
! WARNING
DO NOT operate the snowmobile
when the brake lever lock is engaged
or when any component in the brake
system is damaged, worn, or
adjusted improperly. If the snowmo-
bile is operated and the brake system
is not functioning properly, severe
personal injury could result.
