Brake Lever Lock
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 automati-
cally as the brake pads wear. The only
maintenance that is required is replace-
ment 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.

AUXILIARY BRAKE
The auxiliary brake must be main-
tained to be fully functional.
1. Check the brake fluid level in the
reservoir. The fluid level must be
maintained between the MAX and
MIN level marks. If the level in
the reservoir is low, add DOT 4
brake fluid.

rized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for this
service.
