3. Visually check the entire snowmobile for any
loose fasteners. Tighten as required.
4. Test the operation of the brakes. The brake lever
must feel firm when the lever is compressed.
Inspect the brake fluid level. The brake fluid level
must be just below the high mark on the brake
fluid reservoir. Add Arctic Cat approved brake
fluid as necessary.
5. Visually check the headlight, taillight, and brake
light for proper illumination.

TEST RIDE

Test ride the snowmobile 5 to 10 minutes. During and
after the test ride, do the following:
1. Burnish the brake pads by driving the snowmobile
slowly and compressing the brake lever repeatedly
until the pads just start to heat up; then allow them
to cool down. This process stabilizes the pad mate-
rial and extends the life of the pads.
2. Allow the engine to cool; then visually check cool-
ant level. Add coolant as necessary.
3. Check track alignment and tension.
4. Check the engine compartment and underneath the
snowmobile for any signs of fluid leaks (gas, cool-
ant).

General Information

SNOWMOBILE IDENTIFICATION

The Arctic Cat Snowmobile has two important identi-
fication numbers. The Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) is stamped on the top of the tunnel. The Engine
Serial Number (ESN) is stamped into the crankcase of
the engine.
These numbers are required by the dealer to complete
warranty claims properly. No warranty will be allowed
by Arctic Cat Inc. if the engine serial number or VIN is
removed or mutilated in any way.
26
Always provide the snowmobile name, VIN, and ESN
when contacting an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for parts, service, accessories, or warranty. If
the complete engine must be replaced, ask the dealer to
notify Arctic Cat for correct registration information.
For convenience and future reference, record the VIN
and ESN here.

CONTROL LOCATIONS

ENGINE BREAK-IN

The engine (when new or rebuilt) requires a short
break-in period before the engine is subjected to heavy
load conditions.
During the break-in period, a maximum of 1/2 throttle
is recommended; however, brief full-throttle accelera-
tions and variations in driving speeds contribute to
good engine break-in.
SPEEDOMETER /TACHOMETER
This model is equipped with a standard gauge combination
speedometer/tachometer. Indicator icons are incorporated
within the speedometer/tachometer. Also incorporated into
the speedometer/tachometer is a digital readout screen.
