MAINTENANCE
FUSES
(1100 cc Models)
Fuses protect the snowmobile electri-
cal system from overloading. If elec-
trical parts in the snowmobile are not
working, the system may have been
overloaded and caused a blown fuse.
Before repairing or replacing any elec-
trical 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
determined, perform the following
steps:
1. Open the right-side access panel;
then remove the fuse panel cover.
The fuse panel is located behind
the battery.

NOTE: There are spare fuses
inside the fuse panel.
2. Remove the suspected fuse.
3. Look through the clear side of the
fuse to see if the metal wire inside
is separated. If it is, the fuse is
blown and should be replaced
with a fuse of the correct amper-
age rating.
4. Install the fuse panel cover.
Even after replacing a fuse, it may con-
tinue to blow if the cause of the over-
load is not determined. If the fuse
continues to blow, take the snowmobile
to an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmo-
bile dealer for service. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile owner.
ENGINE HEATER
(660 cc Models)
The engine heater will help provide
easier starting in cold weather. Arctic
Cat recommends that the heater be
plugged in any time the temperature is
expected to get below -15°F. The
heater cord is stored on the left rear of
the engine compartment just above the
air-intake vent.
MECHANICAL BRAKE
SYSTEM
Arctic Cat recommends that the brake
system (brake lever, brake lever travel,
cable, caliper, spring, and disc) be
checked daily for wear or damage,
smooth operation, and proper adjust-
ment.
! WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one
having the same specified amper-
age rating. 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 parking brake is
engaged or when any component
in the brake system is damaged,
worn, or adjusted improperly. If
the snowmobile is operated and
the brake system is not function-
ing properly, severe personal
injury could result.
