Brake System

(Hydraulic)

CHECKING BRAKE LEVER TRAVEL

1. Compress the brake lever fully.

„NOTE: Do not pump the brake lever as it will pro-
duce an inaccurate reading.

2. Measure the distance between the brake lever and

the handlebar. The distance must be greater than

2.54 cm (1 in.).

3. If the distance is less than specified, check the

brake fluid level (see Checking and Adding Brake

Fluid in this sub-section), inspect for leakage, and

check the brake pads (see Checking and Replacing

Brake Pads in this sub-section).

CHECKING AND ADDING BRAKE 
FLUID

1. With the master cylinder in a level position, check

fluid level in the reservoir. The brake fluid level

must be just below the high mark.

740-159A

741-328D

2. If the brake fluid level is below the low mark,

remove the reservoir cover and add approved

brake fluid until the fluid level is just below the

high mark. Install and secure the reservoir cover.

DO NOT allow moisture to contaminate the brake

system.

CHANGING BRAKE FLUID

The brake fluid must be changed on a regular basis

and/or whenever the brake fluid has been overheated

or contaminated. The brake fluid should be changed

every 1000 miles or at the end of the snowmobiling

season, whichever occurs first.

Arctic Cat recommends the removal and disassembly

of the brake caliper assembly when changing the brake

fluid (see Removing/Installing Caliper in this sub-sec-

tion).

1. Slide a piece of flexible tubing over the ball of the

bleeder valve and direct the other end into a con-

tainer.

! WARNING

Do not operate the snowmobile if the distance
between the compressed brake lever and handlebar
is less than 2.54 cm (1 in.). Brake loss may occur.
Brake loss can result in severe personal injury.

! CAUTION

Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake
fluid on any surface of the snowmobile.

! WARNING

Do not overfill the master cylinder reservoir. Overfill-
ing the reservoir may cause the brake system to
hydraulically lock. Use only approved brake fluid.
Never substitute or mix different types or grades of
brake fluid. Brake loss may occur. Brake loss can
result in severe injury or even death.

! 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 sub-
stitute may result in a loss of brakes.
