8. On the ZR 4000, pull the recoil handle

slowly until resistance is felt; then give

a short quick pull. Repeat until the

engine starts.

NOTE: In extremely cold weather, pull

the recoil handle slowly two to three
times to begin the starting procedure.

9. On the ZR 4000 when the engine

starts, allow it to warm up properly.

Idle the engine several minutes until

the engine has reached normal oper-

ating temperature. Do not idle the

engine for excessively long periods

of time.

10. On the Pantera 7000, a “cold drive-

away” function is incorporated within

the engine. This function is active until

the engine reaches operating tempera-

ture.

11. Flooding — 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 ZR 4000 if the

engine fails to start during the
attempt with the throttle control lever
compressed, remove the spark
plugs and clean and dry them thor-
oughly or install a new set of prop-
erly gapped, recommended spark
plugs.

NOTE: On the Pantera 7000 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 trans-

ferred 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. 

CAUTION

Do not continuously run the starter
for more than 5 seconds at a time.

CAUTION

To avoid damaging the recoil starter, DO
NOT pull the recoil rope to its limit or
release the recoil handle from an
extended position. Allow the rope to
rewind slowly.

CAUTION

Do not continuously run the starter
for more than 5 seconds at a time.

CAUTION

It is extremely important that the engine
is properly warmed up before subject-
ing the engine to high speed operation
or heavy loads. The engine should be
allowed to idle at least 3-4 minutes
before it is operated at more than 1/2
throttle. In extremely cold conditions,
the warm-up time will be longer. Cold
seizure and piston scuffing caused by
insufficient warm-up will not be covered
by warranty. Also, do not idle the engine
for excessively long periods of time.

CAUTION

On the Pantera 7000, always turn the
ignition switch key to the OFF posi-
tion 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.
