OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Pumping the brake lever is per-
missible; however, if pumping
the brake lever more than twice
is necessary to obtain the neces-
sary stopping power, immedi-
ately take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmo-
bile dealer for service.
6. When new brake pads are
installed, a “burnishing” pro-
cess is required. Drive the
snowmobile slowly and com-
press the brake lever several
times until the pads just start to
heat up; then allow them to
thoroughly cool down. This
process stabilizes the pad mate-
rial and extends the life of the
pads.
EMERGENCY STOPPING
There are several methods of stop-
ping or slowing the snowmobile
under a variety of situations. Identi-
fied in the following chart are the
ways a snowmobile may be brought
to a stop and the effectiveness under
normal conditions.
THROTTLE/IGNITION MONITOR
SWITCH
The throttle control is equipped with
a monitor switch for safety purposes
which will stop the engine when a
loss of return spring force occurs. If
ice forms in the throttle system or if
there is some other malfunction of
the throttle system resulting in a loss
of return spring force, the monitor
switch will stop the engine when the
throttle control lever is released.
If the engine stops abruptly when the
throttle control lever is released and
the activation of the monitor switch
is suspected, use the following pro-
cedure:
1. Rotate the ignition key to the
OFF position.
2. Remove ice and snow from the
throttle system and wait 5-10
minutes for the engine heat to
thaw ice from the throttle sys-
tem.
3. Test the throttle control lever by
compressing and releasing it
several times. The lever MUST
return to the idle position
quickly and completely.
