3. Slowly compress the brake lever
and hold. Open the bleeder valve
to release the fluid and air. When
the fluid stops, close the bleeder
valve; then release the brake lever.
4. Repeat step 3 until the brake fluid
flows free of air bubbles.
NOTE: It may be necessary to
refill the reservoir during the
bleeding process.
5. When the brake fluid is free of all
air and the brake lever feels firm
when compressed, fill the reser-
voir; then install and secure the
cover. Remove the tube from the
bleeder valve.

NOTE: The brake pads may be
changed by the snowmobile owner
if qualified to do so. If the owner
does not feel qualified, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arc-
tic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this
service. This service is at the dis-
cretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner.
NOTE: When installing new
brake pads, always install them as

use brake pads which have been
used in another snowmobile.
1. Measure the thickness of both
brake pads. The brake pad thick-

ness is less than specified, replace-
ment of both pads is necessary.
