Charging System Warning
Icon (Electric Start
Models)
The Charging System Warning Icon is
designed to warn the operator if the battery
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.
PC016A
NOTE: When air can no longer be
heard purging from oil pump bleed,
tighten the bleed bolt to 7.5 ft-lb.
3. Start the engine. The warning icon
should go out within five seconds. If the
warning icon goes out, check oil level.
4. If the warning icon does not go out,
shut the engine off immediately and
repeat step 2; then repeat step 3.
If the warning icon does not go out or if
the engine does not start, take the snow-
mobile to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer. If not under warranty, this
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine
with the bleed bolt open.
