48 MAINTENANCE
4. Install the fuse panel cover.
Even after replacing a fuse, it may con-
tinue to blow if the cause of the over-
load is not determined. If the fuse
continues to blow, take the snowmobile
to an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmo-
bile dealer for service. If not under
warranty, this service is at the discre-
tion and expense of the snowmobile
owner.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE
SYSTEM
Arctic Cat recommends that the brake
system (brake lever, fluid reservoir,
hose, caliper, pads, and brake disc) be
checked daily for fluid leakage, wear,
or damage and for proper operation.
Also, the brake fluid level must be
checked every time before starting the
engine. The brake fluid must be visible
in the sight glass.
Checking/Adding
Brake Fluid
1. With sight glass reservoir in a
level position, check the fluid
level. The brake fluid level must
be visible in the sight glass.
NOTE: If the sight glass appears
dark, there is a sufficient amount
of fluid in the reservoir.

2. If the brake fluid is not visible in
the sight glass, remove the reser-
voir cover and add Arctic Cat
approved brake fluid until the fluid
is at the recommended level.
Install and secure the reservoir
cover. Do not allow moisture to
contaminate the brake system.
! WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one
having the same specified amper-
age rating. Using a fuse with a
higher rating can cause severe
wire damage and could start a fire.
! WARNING
DO NOT operate the snowmobile
when the brake lever lock is
engaged or when any component
in the brake system is damaged,
worn, or adjusted improperly. If the
snowmobile is operated and the
brake system is not functioning
properly, severe personal injury
could result.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do
not spill brake fluid on any surface
of the snowmobile.
! WARNING
Do not overfill the brake fluid res-
ervoir. Overfilling the reservoir
may cause the brake system to
hydraulically lock. Use only Arctic
Cat approved brake fluid. Never
substitute or mix different types or
grades of brake fluid. Brake loss
can result. Brake loss can result in
severe injury or even death.
