GENERAL INFORMATION
INDICATOR LIGHTS (Standard
Models)
Indicator lights are incorporated
within the speedometer.
LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT
(Standard 2-Stroke Models)
The Low Oil Warning Light is
designed to alert the snowmobile
operator when the oil in the oil injec-
tion reservoir gets below a pre-
scribed level; however, it is highly
recommended that a visual verifica-
tion of the oil level in the reservoir
be done prior to operating the snow-
mobile. Once the Low Oil Warning
Light illuminates during operation
of the snowmobile, 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 Light
is approximately equal to 1 tankful
of gasoline under normal operating
conditions.
LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING
LIGHT (660 cc Models)
The Low Oil Pressure Warning
Light indicates engine oil pressure,
not the oil level; however, if the oil
level is low, it may affect oil pres-
sure. The light should illuminate
each time the ignition switch is
turned to RUN or START, and it
should go out when the engine
starts. If the light illuminates while
the engine is running, oil pressure
has been lost and the engine will
automatically shut off.
If oil pressure is lost, use the follow-
ing procedure:
1. Check the oil level.
NOTE: To ensure an accurate
reading, the snowmobile should
be on level ground.
2. If the oil level is below the
lower mark on the oil level
stick, add only enough recom-
mended oil to raise the level
between the upper and lower
marks. DO NOT overfill the
crankcase with oil.
3. After adding oil if the engine
starts, oil pressure should be
normal.
If the engine does not start, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer.
HIGH TEMPERATURE
WARNING LIGHT
(Standard Liquid Cooled
Models)
The High Temperature Warning
Light is designed to alert the snow-
mobile operator when the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant exceeds a
safe operating temperature. If the
High Temperature Warning Light
illuminates during operation of the
snowmobile, immediately shut off
the engine and determine the nature
of the problem (low coolant level,
etc.). If unable to either determine or
remedy the problem, take the snow-
mobile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for service. If
not under warranty, this service is at
the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
NOTE: Operating the snowmo-
bile at slow speed over minimal
snow or hard pack terrain may
c aus e exces sive engine heat
build-up. If the High Temperature
Warning Light illuminates under
these conditions, immediately
change to a loose snow terrain.
