8. Position the outer brake pad into the
caliper; then install the hair-pin clip
into the caliper assembly.
9. Repeat steps 5-8 for the inner pad; then
secure the pad with the hairpin clip.
10. Remove the reservoir cover and
remove the remaining fluid; then fill
the reservoir with fresh fluid and
install the cover.
11. Pump the brake lever to ensure cor-
rect positioning of the brake pads
and proper brake lever travel (see
Checking Brake Lever Travel sub-
section); then release.

NOTE: If brake lever travel is not
within specification, bleed the brake
system (see Bleeding Brake System
sub-section).
12. Remove the reservoir cover and fill
the reservoir (if necessary) to the
proper level with fresh brake fluid;
then install the cover.
13. Secure the brake shield, the driven
pulley (tightened to 20 ft-lb), and the
rear belt guard; then close and
secure the left-side access panel.

NOTE: When new brake pads are
installed, a “burnishing” process is
required (see Burnishing Brake Pads
sub-section).
Burnishing Brake Pads
After changing brake pads, the new brake
pads must be burnished to achieve full
braking effectiveness. Braking distance
will be extended until brake pads are
properly burnished.
To properly burnish the brakes, use fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Choose an area sufficiently large to
safely accelerate to 30-40 mph and
to brake to a stop.

NOTE: This procdure can also be
accomplished using a shielded jack
stand.
2. Accelerate to 30-40 mph; then com-
press brake lever to decelerate to a stop.

NOTE: Lightly apply the brake lever
to come to an easy stop; do not over-
apply brakes or “lock up” the track.
3. Repeat procedure 10-15 times allow-
ing some cooling between stops.

NOTE: Do not repeat too soon or
too aggressively as to get the brake
disc “red hot.”

NOTE: This procedure stabilizes
the pad material and extends the life
of the pads.
Drive Belt
The drive belt transfers power from the
drive clutch to the driven pulley. If the
belt is worn, cracked, or stretched, maxi-
mum power will not be transmitted and
the belt could also fail and therefore must
be replaced. Periodic checks (at least
once a month under normal usage) of two
drive belt specifications are essential.
1. Measure the outside circumference
of the drive belt. The belt should be
within the recommended range in
circumference (see appropriate spec-
ifications sheet).
2. Measure the outside width of the
drive belt. The belt should be within
the recommended range in width.
3. Check the belt for cracking, fraying, etc.
If any of the specifications or conditions
are unsatisfactory, replace the drive belt.

NOTE: Drive belts should be pur-
chased from an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer, as Arctic Cat
drive belts are made to exact specifi-
cations and of quality material. Belts
made by other manufacturers may
not be of the same specifications or
quality and, therefore, usage could
result in poor performance and pre-
mature belt failure.

NOTE: Before starting the snow-
mobile in extremely cold tempera-
tures, the drive belt should be
removed and warmed up to room
temperature. Once the drive belt is at
room temperature, install the drive
belt.
! WARNING
Do not attempt sudden stops or put
yourself into a situation where a sud-
den stop will be required until the
brake pads are properly burnished.
