Drive Belt Break-In
Drive belts require a break-in period of
approximately 25 miles. Drive the snow-
mobile for 25 miles at 3/4 throttle or less.
By revving the engine up and down (but
not exceeding 60 mph), the exposed cord
on the side of a new belt will be worn
down. This will allow the drive belt to
gain its optimum flexibility and will
extend drive belt life.
NOTE: Before starting the snowmo-
bile in extremely cold temperatures,
the drive belt should be removed and
warmed up to room temperature.
Once the drive belt is at room tem-
perature, install the drive belt.

A. Low Oil Warning Icon
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.
B. Coolant Temperature
Indicator
If the coolant temperature rises too far
above proper operating temperature, the
indicator will flash a warning (alert) and
the engine will “surge” to alert the opera-
tor. If the coolant temperature rises to a
critical point above proper operating tem-
perature, the indicator will cease flashing
and will remain constantly illuminated.
C. Fuel Level Display
This bar display shows the approximate
amount of gas remaining in the gas tank.
D. Service Icon
If the illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the system is receiving input that is
outside of its established parameters. If
the icon illuminates indicating an error,
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.
E. High Beam Indicator
The indicator is on whenever the high
beam mode is selected by the headlight
switch.
RPM/MPH (kph)
By pushing the increment button once,
the RPM and MPH will be displayed
(one on the readout screen and one with
the needle). By pushing the button once
again, the functions will be reversed.
By pushing the increment button (with
speed being displayed) for more than two
seconds, the display will change between
standard mph or metric kph.
With RPM displayed on the readout
screen by pushing and holding the incre-
ment button, maximum RPM will be dis-
played on the readout screen. The
maximum RPM readout will reset when
the decrement button is pushed (while
maximum RPM is displayed).
CAUTION
Never run the engine with the drive
belt removed. Excessive revving of the
engine could result in serious engine
damage and drive clutch failure.
