MAINTENANCE
Checking/Changing Brake Pads
The condition of the brake pads
must be checked daily and changed
if worn or damaged. To check and
change the brake pads, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
NOTE: The brake pads may be
c h a n g e d by t h e s n ow m o b i l e
owner if qualified to do so. If the
owner does not feel qualified,
take the snowmobile to an autho-
riz e d A rc tic Cat Snow mobile
dealer for this service. This ser-
v i c e i s a t t h e d i s c r e t io n a n d
e x p e n s e o f t h e s n o w m o b i l e
owner.
NOTE: When installing new
brake pads, always install them
as a set. Never install just one
pad or use brake pads which
have been used in another snow-
mobile.
1. Measure the thickness of both
brake pads. The brake pad
thickness must be greater than
5.0 mm (0.20 in.). If the brake
pad thickness is less than speci-
fied, replacement of both pads
is necessary.
