GENERAL INFORMATION
Low Oil Warning Light
The Low Oil Warning Light is
designed to alert the snowmobile
operator when the oil in the oil-
injection 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 peri-
odically monitor the level of oil in
the reservoir and must fill the reser-
voir 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.
High Beam
On the Firecat/Sabercat/ ZR 900
models, the headlight HIGH/LOW
beam switch is incorporated into the
brake lever. Pushing the lever for-
ward will activate the switch. When
on HIGH beam, the high beam indi-
cator light will be illuminated.
Diagnostic Codes/Check
Engine/High Temperature
Warning Light (Carbureted
Models)
On the Firecat 500 if exhaust pipe
temperature is excessively high, the
check engine light will flash a warn-
ing (alert). Immediately shut off the
engine and determine the nature of
the problem (see Exhaust Controlled
Timing (ECT) System in this man-
ual).
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 coolant temperature is at or
above 80° C (176° F), the high tem-
perature warning light will flash a
warning (alert). If the coolant tem-
perature is at or above 93° C (200°
F), the high temperature warning
light will cease flashing and will
remain constantly illuminated.
NOTE: At this point, the opera-
tor should take precautionary
measures such as changing to
loose snow terrain and/or check-
ing coolant level.
Additional codes are flashed by the
check engine light and high temper-
ature warning light. Refer to the fol-
lowing chart for diagnostic code
sequences.
! CAUTION
If unable to either determine or
remedy the problem, take the
snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for service.
