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. The brake
fluid must be visible in the sight glass.
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
brake fluid mark in the reservoir.
745-817A
2. If the brake fluid is not visible in the
sight glass, remove the reservoir cover
and add Arctic Cat approved DOT 4
brake fluid until the fluid is at the rec-
ommended level. Install and secure the
reservoir cover. Do not allow moisture
to contaminate the brake system.
Changing Brake Fluid
The brake fluid must be changed on a reg-
ular basis and whenever the brake fluid has
been overheated or contaminated. The
brake fluid should be changed every 1000
miles or at the end of the snowmobiling
season, whichever occurs first. Take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for this service. This
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
Checking Brake Lever
Travel
Before each use, check the brake lever
travel using the following procedure:
1. Compress the brake lever fully.
NOTE: Do not pump the brake
lever as it will produce an inaccurate
reading.
2. Measure the distance between the
brake lever and the handlebar. The
distance must be greater than 25.4
mm (1 in.).

! 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.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not
spill brake fluid on any surface of the
snowmobile.
! WARNING
Do not overfill the brake fluid reser-
voir. Overfilling the reservoir may
cause the brake system to hydrauli-
cally lock. Use only Arctic Cat
approved DOT 4 brake fluid. Never
substitute or mix different types or
grades of brake fluid. Brake loss can
result. Brake loss can result in severe
injury or even death.
