Burnishing Brake Pads
Brake pads must be burnished to achieve full brak-
ing effectiveness. Braking distance will be extended
until brake pads are properly burnished. To properly
burnish the brake pads, use the following procedure.
1. Choose an area large enough to safely accelerate
the vehicle to 30 mph and to brake to a stop.
2. Accelerate to 30 mph; then depress the brake
pedal to decelerate to 0-5 mph.
3. Repeat procedure five times until brake pads are
burnished.
4. Adjust the parking brake (if necessary).
5. Verify that the brakelight illuminates when the
brake pedal is depressed.
Coolant
The cooling system should be inspected daily for
leakage and damage. Also, the coolant level should
be checked periodically.
When filling the cooling system, use premixed Arc-
tic Cat Antifreeze. While the cooling system is
being filled, air pockets may develop; therefore, run
the engine for five minutes after the initial fill, shut
the engine off, and then fill the cooling system to the
bottom of the stand pipe in the radiator neck.

face; then remove the face. Account for the

the drive face when removing or installing the
drive face to prevent the rollers from falling out.

! WARNING
Failure to properly burnish the brake pads could
lead to premature brake pad wear or brake loss.
Brake loss can result in severe injury.
! CAUTION
After operating the vehicle for the initial 5-10 min-
utes, stop the engine, allow the engine to cool down,
and check the coolant level. Add coolant as neces-
sary.
