Brake Fluid
Check the brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. If the level in the reser-
voir is not visible in the sight glass, add
DOT 4 brake fluid.

NOTE: If the sight glass appears
dark, there is a sufficient amount
of fluid in the reservoir.
Brake Lever Lock
738-420B
Check to make sure the brake lever lock
engages properly and that the brake
(when engaged) locks the wheels.
1. Pump the brake lever 2 or 3 times.
2. Engage the brake lever lock.
3. Attempt to push the ATV.
NOTE: The brake lever lock must
lock the wheels. If it doesn’t, take
the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat
ATV dealer for service.
Brake Hoses
Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake
hoses for cracks or other damage. If
found, take the ATV to an authorized
Arctic Cat ATV dealer to have the brake
hoses replaced.
Brake Pads
The clearance between the brake pads
and brake discs is adjusted automatically
as the brake pads wear. The only mainte-
nance that is required is replacement of
the brake pads when they show excessive
wear. Check the thickness of each of the
brake pads as follows:
1. Remove a front wheel.
2. Measure the thickness of each brake
pad.
3. If thickness of either brake pad is
less than 1.0 mm (0.039 in.), take the
ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat
ATV dealer to have brake pads
replaced.
! WARNING
Be sure to inspect the hydraulic brake
system before each use. Always
maintain brakes according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
CAUTION
Be careful not to spill any fluid when
filling the brake fluid reservoir. Wipe
away spilled fluid immediately.
