Fuses

Fuses protect the snowmobile electrical
system from overloading. If electrical
parts in the snowmobile are not working,
the system may have been overloaded and
caused a blown fuse. Before repairing or
replacing any electrical part, check the
appropriate fuses. If a fuse blows (opens a
circuit), all the parts of the snowmobile
that use that circuit will not work.
Once which fuse to check has been deter-
mined, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the fuse block and remove
the fuse block cover.
NOTE: To locate the fuse block on
the 5000/9000, open the left-side
access panel; the fuse block is
above the belt guard. On the 8000,
open the right-side access panel; the
fuse block is on the upper spar.

NOTE: There are spare fuses
beneath the fuse block cover on
electric start models.
2. Remove the suspected fuse.
NOTE: Fuse function descriptions
are next to the fuse contacts in the
fuse block.
3. Look through the clear side of the
fuse to see if the element inside is
burned or separated. If it is, the fuse
is blown and should be replaced
with a fuse of the correct amperage
rating.
! WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one hav-
ing the same specified amperage rat-
ing. Using a fuse with a higher rating
can cause severe wire damage and
could start a fire.

4. Install the fuse block cover and close
the access panel.
Even after replacing a fuse, it may con-
tinue to blow if the cause of the overload
is not determined. If the fuse continues to
blow, take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
service. If not under warranty, this ser-
PC004A
vice is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
