Shock Absorbers; Track Studs; Towing; Operating Instructions - Arctic Cat 2014 SNO PRO 500 Operator's Manual

Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is located in the fuel pump
assembly. The fuel pressure regulator maintains the
fuel pressure at a constant specified level.
Fuel Pump Circuit
The fuel pump and its circuit are provided with current
from the fuel pump coil on the stator.
For this circuit to function correctly, five components
must be properly functioning. Check the following
components before considering the fuel pump assem-
bly to be defective.
A. Fuel pump coil - test coil.
B. Emergency stop switch and ignition switch
must be ON.
C. Fuel pump - test fuel pump.
D. Wiring harness and connectors - clean the con-
nectors and test the harness.
E. ECM.

SHOCK ABSORBERS

Each shock absorber should be visibly checked daily for
excessive fluid leakage, cracks or breaks in the lower
case, a bent plunger, and wear or leakage in the hoses. If
any one of these conditions is detected, replacement is
necessary. If the operator does not feel qualified to ser-
vice or replace shock absorbers, see an authorized Arc-
tic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this service.

TRACK STUDS

NOTE: The track on this snowmobile is not
equipped with studs. For additional information,
see the current POGA Reference Guide.
The decision to install studs should be made only after
reviewing the International Snowmobile Racing, Inc.
regulations as they pertain to the type of racing you
participate in. Arctic Cat has a variety of studding
products available from your authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer.

TOWING

If this snowmobile is to be towed by another snowmo-
bile, do not tow using the loops in the skis. The tow
rope should be attached to the spindles.

Operating Instructions

STARTING AND STOPPING ENGINE

It is imperative that the hydraulic brake system be
checked for wear and proper operation and that all
IO031A safety checks found in the accompanying Snowmobile
Safety Handbook be performed before attempting to
start the engine. After the engine has been started,
check the headlights (high and low beam), taillight,
and brakelight to be sure they are working properly
and adjusted correctly. Make sure all lights are clean to
provide maximum illumination. The headlight and
taillight must be clean and must be illuminated when-
ever the engine is running.
1. Test the operation of the hydraulic brake system
by compressing the brake lever. The brake lever
must feel firm when compressed; then while hold-
ing the brake lever in the compressed position,
measure the distance between the brake lever and
the handlebar. The distance must be greater than
2.54 cm (1 in.).
2. Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir. The brake fluid level must be just below
the high mark on the master cylinder reservoir.
Add Arctic Cat approved brake fluid as necessary.
