CHECKING AND ADDING BRAKE
FLUID
1. With brake fluid reservoir in a level position and the
cover removed (F/M/XF only), check the fluid level.
The brake fluid level must be visible in the sight
glass (Bearcat/F-Series/T-Series) or at the high mark
in the reservoir (F/M/XF).

0745-817
2. If the brake fluid level is low, add Arctic Cat approved
brake fluid until the fluid is at the recommended 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 regular basis and/
or whenever the brake fluid has been overheated or con-
taminated. The brake fluid should be changed every 1000
miles or at the end of the snowmobiling season, which-
ever occurs first.
Arctic Cat recommends the removal and disassembly of
the brake caliper assembly when changing the brake fluid
(see appropriate Brake Caliper/Brake Disc/Driveshaft
Bearing in this sub-section).
1. Slide a piece of flexible tubing over the ball of the
bleeder valve and direct the other end into a con-
tainer.

2. Slowly compress the brake lever and hold. Open the
bleeder valve to release the fluid; then compress the
brake lever repeatedly until all brake fluid is
expelled. Close the bleeder valve.
3. Add new approved brake fluid to the reservoir; then
compress the brake lever and hold. Open the bleeder
valve. Repeat the compression until brake fluid
flows free of air bubbles and appears clean.
NOTE: It may be necessary to refill the reservoir a
number of times to eliminate all air bubbles in the
system.
4. When the brake fluid is free of all air and the brake
lever feels firm when compressed, fill the reservoir;
then install and secure the cover. Remove the tube
from the bleeder valve.
5. Bleed the brake system (see Bleeding Brake System
in this sub-section).
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
If the brake lever feels spongy when applied, the brake
system may need to be bled.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the snowmobile.
! WARNING
Do not overfill the brake fluid reservoir. Overfilling the
reservoir may cause the brake system to hydraulically
lock. Use only approved brake fluid. Never substitute
or mix different types or grades of brake fluid. Brake
loss may occur. Brake loss can result in severe injury
or even death.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the snowmobile.
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved brake fluid. Any substi-
tute may result in a loss of brakes.
