NOTE: On the Bearcat Z1 XT GS
model, the towing accessories fuses
are located beneath the seat.
2. Remove the suspected fuse.
3. Look through the clear side of the
fuse to see if the metal wire inside is
separated. If it is, the fuse is blown
and should be replaced with a fuse of
the correct amperage rating.
4. On the 1100 cc models, install the fuse
panel cover and close the right-side
access panel. On the F5 LXR/570 cc
models, install the fuse holder cover.
Even after replacing a fuse, it may continue
to blow if the cause of the overload is not
determined. If the fuse continues to blow,
take the snowmobile to an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer for service. If not
under warranty, this service is at the discre-
tion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
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.
741-328A
2. If the brake fluid is not visible in the
sight glass, remove the reservoir cover
and add Arctic Cat approved brake
fluid until the fluid is at the recom-
mended 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 reg-
ular basis and whenever the brake fluid has
been overheated or contaminated. The
brake fluid should be changed every 1000
miles or at the end of the snowmobiling
season, whichever occurs first. Take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile 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.
! WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one hav-
ing the same specified amperage rat-
ing. Using a fuse with a higher rating
can cause severe wire damage and
could start a fire.
! 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 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 reser-
voir. Overfilling the reservoir may
cause the brake system to hydrauli-
cally lock. Use only Arctic Cat
approved brake fluid. Never substi-
tute or mix different types or grades
of brake fluid. Brake loss can result.
Brake loss can result in severe injury
or even death.
