Brake Hoses
Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake hoses
for cracks or other damage. If found, take
the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV
dealer to have the brake hoses replaced.
Brake Pads
The clearance between the 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 condition of each of the
brake pads as follows:
1. Remove a front wheel.
2. Measure each brake pad thickness.
3. If thickness of either brake pad is less
than 1.0 mm (0.039 in.), take the ATV
to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV
dealer to have brake pads replaced.
