Checking/Changing
Brake Pads
The condition of the brake pads must
be checked daily and changed if worn
or damaged. To check and change the
brake pads, use the following proce-
dure:
NOTE: The brake pads may be
changed 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.
NOTE: When installing new
brake pads, always install them
as a set. Never install just one
pad or use brake pads which
have been used in another
snowmobile.
1. Measure the thickness of both
brake pads. The brake pad thick-
ness must be greater than 3.2 mm
(0.125 in.) on the standard caliper
or greater than 5.0 mm (0.20 in.)
on the ACT drive caliper. If the
brake pad thickness is less than
specified, replacement of both
pads is necessary.

2. Remove
the
securing the brake pads to the cal-
iper assembly.
3. Remove the brake fluid reservoir
cover; then remove most of the
brake fluid from the reservoir.
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
installing
new
Replacing the cover will prevent
fluid spillage.
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 pis-
ton from the caliper.
