Bleeding Brake
System
If the brake lever feels spongy when
applied, the brake system may need to
be bled. To bleed the brake, use the
following procedure:
NOTE: The brake system may
be bled by the snowmobile
owner if qualified to do so. If the
owner does not feel qualified,
take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmo-
bile dealer for this service. This
service is at the discretion and
expense
of
owner.
1. Remove the reservoir cover and
fill the reservoir to the high mark
with Arctic Cat approved brake
fluid.
! CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive.
Do not spill brake fluid on any
surface of the snowmobile.
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved
brake fluid. Any substitute may
result in a loss of brakes.
2. Slide a piece of flexible tubing
over the ball of the bleeder valve
and direct the other end into a
container.

3. Slowly compress the brake lever
and hold. Open the bleeder valve
to release the fluid and air. When
the fluid stops, close the bleeder
valve; then release the brake
lever.
4. Repeat step 3 until the brake fluid
flows free of air bubbles.
NOTE: It may be necessary to
refill the reservoir during the
bleeding process.
5. When the brake fluid is free of all
air and the brake lever feels firm
when compressed, fill the reser-
voir to a level just below the high
mark; then install and secure the
cover. Remove the tube from the
bleeder valve.
