MAINTENANCE
Checking/Adding
Brake Fluid
1. With sight glass reservoir in a
level position, check the fluid
level. The brake fluid level must
be visible in the sight glass.
NOTE: If the sight glass appears
dark, there is a sufficient amount
of fluid in the reservoir.

2. If the brake fluid is not visible in
the sight glass, remove the reser-
voir cover and 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 whenever the brake
fluid has been overheated or contami-
nated. The brake fluid should be
changed every 1000 miles or at the end
of the snowmobiling season, which-
ever occurs first. Take the snowmobile
to an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmo-
bile dealer for this service. This service
is at the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
Checking Brake Lever
Travel
Before each use, check the brake lever
travel using the following procedure:
1. Compress the brake lever fully.
NOTE: Do not pump the brake
lever as it will produce an inaccu-
rate reading.
2. Measure the distance between the
brake lever and the handlebar. The
distance must be greater than 2.54
cm (1 in.).

! WARNING
DO NOT operate the snowmobile
when
the
brake
lever
lock
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 functioning
properly, severe personal injury
could result.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do
not spill brake fluid on any surface
of the snowmobile.
! WARNING
Do not overfill the brake fluid res-
ervoir.
Overfilling
the
reservoir
may cause the brake system to
hydraulically lock. Use only Arctic
Cat approved brake fluid. Never
substitute or mix different types or
grades of brake fluid. Brake loss
can result. Brake loss can result in
severe injury or even death.
