Drive Belt - Arctic Cat Crossfire 700 EFI (EB) 2006 Operator's Manual

1. Measure the width of both
brake pads. The brake pad
width must be greater than 5.0
mm (0.20 in.). If the brake pad
width is less than specified,
replacement of both pads is
necessary. Follow steps 2-6 to
replace brake pads.
2. Remove the pin securing the
brake pads to the caliper assem-
bly.
3. Remove the brake fluid reser-
voir cover; then remove most of
the brake fluid from the reser-
voir. Replace the cover.
NOTE: The above procedure
will allow room for the fluid from
the caliper when the pistons are
pushed into the caliper for install-
ing new brake pads. Replacing
the cover will prevent fluid spill-
age.
4. Using a pair of pliers, pull one
brake pad out of the caliper
assembly.
NOTE: Changing one pad at a
time will prevent one piston from
pushing out the other piston from
the caliper.
5. Using a flat-blade tool, slowly
and carefully push the piston
into the caliper.
6. Position the new brake pad into
the caliper.
MAINTENANCE
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the other
pad; then secure the pads with
the pin.
8. Remove the reservoir cover and
remove the remaining fluid;
then fill the reservoir with fresh
fluid.
9. Pump the brake lever to ensure
correct positioning of the brake
pads; then release.
10. Fill the reservoir to the proper
level with fresh brake fluid.
NOTE: When new brake pads
are installed, a "burnishing" pro-
cess is required. Drive the snow-
mobile slowly and compress the
brake lever several times until the
0739-269
pads just start to warm up; then
allow them to cool down. This
procedure stabiliz es the pad
material and extends the life of
the pads.

DRIVE BELT

The drive belt transfers power from
the drive clutch to the driven pulley.
If the belt is worn, cracked, or
stretched, maximum power will not
be transmitted and the belt could
also fail and, therefore, must be
replaced. Periodic checks (at least
once a month under normal usage)
of two drive belt specifications are
essential.
1. Measure the outside circumfer-
ence of the drive belt. The belt
should be within the range of
113.9 - 114.8 cm (44 27/32 - 45
7/32 in.) in circumference.
2. Measure the outside width of
the drive belt. The belt should
be 34-36 mm (1 11/32 - 1
13/32 in.) in width.
3. Check the belt for cracking,
fraying, etc.
If any of the specifications or condi-
tions are unsatisfactory, replace the
drive belt.
