To ensure proper engine break-in on
the 1100 cc Z1 and 660 cc models,
Arctic Cat recommends that the
engine oil and filter be changed after
200-500 miles. This service is at the
expense of the snowmobile owner.

LOW OIL WARNING
LIGHT (Standard 2-
Stroke Models)
The Low Oil Warning Light is
designed to alert the snowmobile
operator when the oil in the oil injec-
tion reservoir gets below a prescribed
level; however, it is highly recom-
mended that a visual verification of
the oil level in the reservoir be done
prior to operating the snowmobile.
Once the Low Oil Warning Light illu-
minates during operation of the snow-
mobile, the operator must periodically
monitor the level of oil in the reservoir
and must fill the reservoir the next
time gasoline is added to the gas tank.
The "alert level" of the Low Oil Warn-
ing Light is approximately equal to 1
tankful of gasoline under normal oper-
ating conditions.

LOW OIL PRESSURE
WARNING LIGHT
(Bearcat W/T Non-
Turbo/Panther 660
Models)
The Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
indicates engine oil pressure, not the
oil level; however, if the oil level is
low, it may affect oil pressure. The
light should illuminate each time the
ignition switch is turned to RUN or
START, and it should go out when the
engine starts. If the light 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:
1. Check the oil level.
NOTE: To ensure an accurate
reading, the snowmobile should
be on level ground.
2. If the oil level is below the lower
mark on the oil level stick, add
only enough recommended oil to
raise the level between the upper
and lower marks. DO NOT over-
fill the crankcase with oil.
3. After adding oil if the engine
starts, oil pressure should be nor-
mal.
If the engine does not start, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer.
