each use. Always maintain brakes
according to the Maintenance Schedule.

must be maintained between the
MAX and MIN level marks. If the
level in the reservoir is low, add DOT

must be bled.

rized Arctic Cat dealer for this service.

filling the brake fluid reservoir. Wipe
away spilled fluid immediately.

Brake Hoses

Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake hoses
for cracks or other damage. If found, take
the vehicle to an authorized Arctic Cat
dealer to have the brake hoses replaced.
Brake Pads

and brake discs is adjusted automatically
as the brake pads wear. The only mainte-
nance that is required is replacement of
the brake pads when they show excessive
wear. Check the thickness of each of the
brake pads as follows:
