OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
37
NOTE: On 660 cc models,
ensure that the ignition switch key
is in the OFF position when the
engine is not running. Leaving the
ignition switch in the ON position
allows the lights to be on and will
drain power from the battery. The
engine WILL NOT START without
battery power.
HIGH RPM
OPERATION
(660 cc Models)
On a 660 cc model when the engine
speed returns to idle after a sustained
period of high RPM operation, the idle
RPM may be slightly higher than
usual for a brief period of time. This
higher RPM is a normal oil-cooling
function and should not be of concern.
BRAKING (Hydraulic
Brake Models)
Operating a snowmobile with hydrau-
lic brakes is different from operating a
snowmobile with mechanical brakes.
The following items are items that the
operator must be familiar with when
operating this snowmobile and its
hydraulic brake system. Important
additional information on the proper
maintenance of the brake system is
found in the maintenance section of
this manual.
1. Use the brakes wisely. Each time
the brakes are applied in all
hydraulic brake systems (includ-
ing 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 func-
tion properly. This cool-down
period will vary depending upon
the ambient air temperature and
the temperature of the brake fluid.
If loss of brakes has occurred
because of high fluid tempera-
tures, do not operate the snowmo-
bile until the cool-down period
has expired and brake lever firm-
ness 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 repetitive 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.
! 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 different 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.
