NOTE: On the F5 LXR model if the
engine fails to start during the
attempt with the throttle control lever
compressed, remove the spark plugs
and clean and dry them thoroughly or
install a new set of properly gapped,
recommended spark plugs.
NOTE: On the 1100 cc models if
spark plugs must be replaced, take
the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
inspection and service. This service
is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
12. To shut off the engine, turn the igni-
tion key to the OFF position or push
the emergency stop switch to the
DOWN position.
Braking
The following items are items that the oper-
ator must be familiar with when operating
this snowmobile and its hydraulic brake sys-
tem. Important additional information on the
proper maintenance of the brake system is
found in the Maintenance section.
1. Use the brakes wisely. Each time the
brakes are applied in all hydraulic brake
systems (including automotive applica-
tions), heat is transferred to the brake
fluid. The amount of heat transferred
during high speed stops and/or repeti-
tive use may be high enough to boil the
brake fluid and cause the brakes to
either fade or may cause an unexpected
loss of brakes. If this occurs, the brake
fluid requires a cool-down period
before the brakes will again function
properly. This cool-down period will
vary depending upon the ambient air
temperature and the temperature of the
brake fluid. If loss of brakes has
occurred because of high fluid tempera-
tures, do not operate the snowmobile
until the cool-down period has expired
and brake lever firmness has returned.
2. Be sure to maintain the brake fluid at
the proper level and take care not to
get any moisture in the system as
moisture in the brake fluid lowers the
boiling point. If the brake fluid is ever
boiled (by high speed stops or repeti-
tive use) or if moisture is allowed to
enter the system, it must be changed.
Never substitute or mix different types
or grades of brake fluid.
3. Never ride the brake. Even maintaining
minimal pressure on the brake lever
will cause the brake pads to drag on the
disc and may overheat the brake fluid.
4. The brake lever lock is not a parking
brake and should not be applied for
periods exceeding 5 minutes.
NEVER OPERATE THE SNOW-
MOBILE WITH THE BRAKE
LEVER LOCK ENGAGED.
CAUTION
On the 1100 cc models, always turn
the ignition switch key to the OFF
position when the snowmobile is not
being used. Leaving the ignition
switch in the ON position will result in
discharging the battery and possible
damage to the battery.
! WARNING
Excessive, repetitive use of the
hydraulic brake for high speed stops
will cause overheating of the brake
fluid and premature brake pad wear
which will result in an unexpected
loss of brakes.
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved brake
fluid. Never substitute or mix different
types or grades of brake fluid. Brake
loss can result. Check brake fluid
level and pad wear before each use.
Brake loss can result in severe injury
or even death.
! WARNING
The brake lever lock is not a parking
brake and should not be applied for
periods exceeding 5 minutes. The
brake lever lock maintains the brake
lever in the compressed position and
maintains pressure against the brake
disc; however, after a period of time,
the pressure applied to the brake disc
may relax below the amount required
to hold the snowmobile stationary.
