4. While holding the cable housing
firmly, pull the cable as far out as it
will go; then release. Repeat three to
four times. The cable/exhaust valve
should move freely without binding.
NOTE: If the cable/exhaust valve
does not move freely, the exhaust
valve assembly will need to be
removed for further inspection. Take
the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
this service.
NOTE: When measuring the
cables, they are to be routed as
close to their installed position as
possible.
5. While holding the cable housing,
lightly pull on one cable end to
remove any slack; then measure the
amount of exposed cable from the
cable housing to the end of the cable
(cable drum).

NOTE: The two cable measure-
ments must be equal in length or
less than 0.5 mm (0.020 in.) differ-
ence in length from each other.
NOTE: Repeat steps 4 and 5 for
each cable; then compare the mea-
surements to the APV Cable Length
chart.
NOTE: The measurements must be
within the specifications from the
chart. If the measurements are
within specifications, no adjustment
is necessary (proceed to step 8). If
they are not within specifications,
proceed to step 6.
6. Loosen the jam nut on the cable to
be adjusted; then using the adjusting
nuts, lengthen or shorten the housing
as needed.
7. Once the proper length has been
attained, hold the adjusting nut in
place and tighten the jam nut securely.
8. Place the cable housings into position
in the servomotor. Secure the cable
housings with the cable holder and
retaining clip (800/1000 cc models).
Brake System
Arctic Cat recommends that the brake
system (brake lever, fluid reservoir, hose,
caliper, pads, and brake disc) be checked
daily for fluid leakage, wear, or damage
and for proper operation. Also, the brake
fluid level must be checked every time
before starting the engine. The brake
fluid must be visible in the sight glass.
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.

! 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 snowmo-
bile is operated and the brake sys-
tem is not functioning properly,
severe personal injury could result.
