It is advisable to lubricate certain components periodi- cally to ensure free movement. Apply light oil to the Periodic Maintenance/ components using the following list as reference. Throttle Lever Pivot/Cable Ends B.

Brake Lever Pivot/Cable Ends Tighten all nuts, cap screws, screws, and bolts. Clean dust and debris from the air filter housing; then remove the cotton-fabric safety element using Air Filter care not to allow dirt and debris to enter the engine. CLEANING AND INSPECTING FILTER CAUTION Failure to inspect the air filter frequently if the vehicle is used in dusty, wet, or muddy conditions can damage the engine. DE015 CF105A 9. Install the air filter housing cover (drain facing 2.

Using a suitable brush, clean the carbon deposits downward) and lock it in place by turning clockwise. From the screen taking care not to damage the screen.  NOTE: If the screen or gasket is damaged in any way, it must be replaced. Engine RPM (Idle)  NOTE: The idle RPM is not adjustable on the 700 Diesel. Engine Oil - Filter Change the engine oil and oil filter at the scheduled inter- vals. The engine should always be warm when the oil is DE018 changed so the oil will drain easily and completely. Install the drain plug and tighten securely.

Pour rec- ommended lubricant into the filler hole. Install the filler plug. Remove the transmission lubricant level stick and wipe it with a clean cloth; then check the lubricant level with the level stick. Lights Each time the ATV is used, lights should be checked for proper function. Rotate the ignition switch to the lights position; the headlights and taillight should illuminate. Test the brakelight by compressing the brake lever. The brakelight should illuminate.

If low, refill the reservoir before the bleeding procedure is continued.

Failure to maintain a sufficient amount of fluid in the reservoir will result in air in the system. Coolant When filling the cooling system, use a coolant/water mixture which will satisfy the coldest anticipated weather conditions of the area in accordance with the coolant manufacturer’s recommendations. While the cooling sys- tem is being filled, air may become trapped; therefore, elevate the rear of the ATV 30-40 cm (12-16 in.) to allow air to bleed from the filler neck. DE096A DE488  NOTE: The diesel engine in this ATV rotates coun- terclockwise as viewed from the right side; therefore, if directional arrows are printed on the V-belt, they must be directed rearward. Push the V-belt down into the driven pulley approxi- mately one inch. Place the V-belt cover gasket into position; then install the cover and secure with the cap screws. Tighten to 9 ft-lb.

Depress and release the manual primer pump to charge the fuel filter and purge any air from the sys- tem.

WARNING Arctic Cat recommends that only authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealers perform hydraulic brake service. Failure to properly repair brake systems can result in loss of con- trol causing severe injury or death.

CAUTION Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid on any surface of the ATV and do not reuse brake fluid.  NOTE: Whenever brake components are removed, disassembled, or repaired where brake fluid is exposed to air, drain all fluid and replace with new DOT 4 brake fluid from an unopened container. Inspect the brake pads for damage and excessive wear.  NOTE: For measuring brake pads, see Periodic Maintenance/Tune-Up. Inspect the brake caliper housings for scoring in the piston bores, chipped seal ring grooves, or signs of corrosion or discoloration.

Making sure brake fluid does not contact the brake pads, compress the caliper holder toward the caliper and install the inner brake pad; then install the outer pad. CAUTION If brake pads become contaminated with brake fluid, they must be thoroughly cleaned with brake cleaning solvent or replaced with new pads.
