Charging System Warning

Icon (1100 cc Models)

The Charging System Warning Icon is

designed to warn the operator if the bat-

tery charging system is not functioning.

The icon should illuminate each time the

key is turned to RUN or START, and it

should go out when the engine starts. If

the icon stays illuminated or it illuminates

while the engine is running, the battery is

not being charged, and the snowmobile is

running on battery reserve power only.
If the Charging System Warning Icon

illuminates, you should, as soon as possi-

ble, take the snowmobile to an authorized

Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for ser-

vice. If not under warranty, this service is

at the discretion and expense of the

snowmobile owner. The engine

WILL

NOT RUN

without battery power.

Low Oil Warning Icon (800

cc Models)

The Low Oil Warning Icon is designed to

alert the snowmobile operator when the

oil in the oil injection reservoir gets below

a prescribed level; however, it is highly

recommended that a visual verification of

the oil level in the reservoir be done prior

to operating the snowmobile. Once the

Low Oil Warning Icon illuminates during

operation of the snowmobile, the operator

must periodically monitor the level of oil

in the reservoir and must fill the reservoir

the next time gasoline is added to the gas

tank. The “alert level” of the Low Oil

Warning Icon is approximately equal to 1

tankful of gasoline under normal operat-

ing conditions.

Oil Pressure Warning Icon

(1100 cc Models)

The Oil Pressure Warning Icon indicates

engine oil pressure, not the oil level;

however, if the oil level is low, it may

affect oil pressure.
The icon should illuminate each time the

ignition switch is turned to RUN or

START, and it should go out when the

engine starts. If the icon illuminates

while the engine is running, oil pressure

has been lost and the engine will auto-

matically shut off.
If oil pressure is lost, use the following

procedure to check the oil level:

1. With the engine off, note the oil

level in the sight glass. If the level is

below the sight glass, add only

enough recommended oil until it is

visible in the sight glass. DO NOT

overfill the reservoir with oil.

SNO-244A

2. Open the air bleed bolt located on

the oil pump (beneath the coolant

tank) to purge air from the oil hose.

CAUTION

At this point, take precautionary mea-
sures such as changing to loose
snow terrain, shutting the engine off
(allowing the engine to cool down),
and checking coolant level. If unable
to either determine or remedy the
problem, take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for service. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile
owner.

CAUTION

The snowmobile will be manufac-
tured with the correct amount of oil
in the reservoir. If the engine and oil
are not at operating temperature, the
oil will not be visible in the sight
glass. Tip the snowmobile to the
right at a 45° angle; then check to
see if oil is present in the sight
glass.
