Charging System
Warning Icon
(1100 cc Models)
The Charging System Warning Icon is
designed to warn the operator if the
battery charging system is not func-
tioning. The icon should illuminate
each time the key is turned to RUN or
START, and it should go out when the
engine starts. If the icon stays illumi-
nated or it illuminates while the engine
is running, the battery is not being
charged, and the snowmobile is run-
ning on battery reserve power only.
If the Charging System Warning Icon
illuminates, you should, as soon as pos-
sible, take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
service. If not under warranty, this ser-
vice is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner. The engine
WILL NOT RUN without battery
power.
Low Oil Warning Icon
(2-Stroke Models)
The Low Oil Warning Icon is designed
to alert the snowmobile operator when
the oil in the oil injection reservoir gets
below a prescribed level; however, it is
highly recommended that a visual veri-
fication of the oil level in the reservoir
be done prior to operating the snowmo-
bile. Once the Low Oil Warning Icon
illuminates during operation of the
snowmobile, the operator must periodi-
cally monitor the level of oil in the res-
ervoir and must fill the reservoir the
next time gasoline is added to the gas
tank. The "alert level" of the Low Oil
Warning Icon is approximately equal to
1 tankful of gasoline under normal
operating conditions.

Oil Pressure Warning
Icon (1100 cc Models)
The Oil Pressure Warning Icon indi-
cates engine oil pressure, not the oil
level; however, if the oil level is low, it
may affect oil pressure.
The icon should illuminate each time
the ignition switch is turned to RUN or
START, and it should go out when the
engine starts. If the icon illuminates
while the engine is running, oil pres-
sure has been lost and the engine will
automatically shut off.
If oil pressure is lost, use the following
procedure to check the oil level:
1. With the engine off, remove the
engine oil level stick and wipe it
clean. Without screwing it in, set
the stick back in the oil tank.
Remove it and observe the oil
level on the stick. If the oil level is
at or below the ADD mark on the
oil level stick, add only enough
recommended oil to raise the level
to the NORMAL range. DO NOT
overfill the reservoir with oil.
2. Open the air bleed bolt located on
the oil pump (beneath the coolant
tank) to purge air from the oil
hose.
 NOTE: When air can no longer
be heard purging from oil pump
bleed, tighten the bleed bolt to 7.5
ft-lb.
3. Start the engine. The warning light
should go out within five seconds.
