NOTE: On the Bearcat 570/T570
models 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.
11. Flooding — On the Bearcat Z1 XT/
TZ1 models if the engine does not
start but seems ready to start, engage
the brake lever lock; then compress
the throttle control lever fully and try
to start the engine. When the engine
starts, release the throttle control
lever immediately. After the warm-
up, release the brake lever lock.
NOTE: On the Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1
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
operator must be familiar with when
operating this snowmobile and its
hydraulic brake system. Important addi-
tional information on the proper mainte-
nance 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
applications), heat is transferred to
the brake fluid. The amount of heat
transferred during high speed stops
and/or repetitive 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 depend-
ing upon the ambient air temperature
and the temperature of the brake
fluid. If loss of brakes has occurred
because of high fluid temperatures,
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 main-
taining minimal pressure on the
brake lever will cause the brake pads
to drag on the disc and may overheat
the brake fluid.
CAUTION
On the Bearcat Z1 XT/TZ1 models,
always turn the ignition switch key to
the OFF position when the snowmo-
bile 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 differ-
ent 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.
