Burnishing Brake Pads

Brake pads (both hydraulic and auxiliary) must be bur-
nished to achieve full braking effectiveness. Braking dis-
tance will be extended until brake pads are properly
burnished. To properly burnish the brake pads, use the
following procedure.
Failure to properly burnish the brake pads could lead

to premature brake pad wear or brake loss. Brake
loss can result in severe injury.
1. Choose an area large enough to safely accelerate the
ATV to 30 mph and to brake to a stop.
2. Accelerate to 30 mph; then compress brake lever or
apply the auxiliary brake to decelerate to 0-5 mph.
3. Repeat procedure on each brake system five times
until brake pads are burnished.
4. Adjust the parking brake (if necessary).
5. Verify that the brakelight illuminates when the hand
lever is compressed or the brake pedal is depressed.

The cooling system capacity is approximately 1.2 L (1.3
U.S. qt). The cooling system should be inspected daily
for leakage and damage. Also, the coolant level should be
checked periodically.
When filling the cooling system, use premixed Arctic Cat
Antifreeze (p/n 0638-395). While the cooling system is
being filled, air pockets may develop; therefore, run the
engine for five minutes after the initial fill, shut the
engine off, and then fill the cooling system to the bottom
of the stand pipe in the radiator neck (1). Make sure the
coolant level in the overflow tank is between the upper
and lower marks.
