TRANSPORTING ATV
When transporting the ATV, Arctic Cat
recommends that the ATV be in its nor-
mal operating position (on all four
wheels) and the following procedure be
used.
1. Engage the brake lever lock and
place the transmission in gear.
2. Secure the ATV with load rated
hold-down straps.
NOTE: Suitable hold-down
straps are available from your Arc-
tic Cat ATV dealer. Ordinary rope is
not recommended because it can
stretch under load.
GASOLINE-OIL-
LUBRICANT
Recommended
Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in
this ATV is 87 minimum octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates
(either ethanol or MTBE) are added to
the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines
containing up to 10% ethanol, 5%
methane, or MTBE are acceptable gas-
olines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline,
it is not necessary to add a gasoline
antifreeze since ethanol will prevent
the accumulation of moisture in the
fuel system.
Recommended Engine/
Transmission Oil
The recommended oil to use is Arctic
Cat ACX All Weather synthetic engine
oil, which has been specifically formu-
lated for use in this Arctic Cat engine.
Although Arctic Cat ACX All Weather
synthetic engine oil is the only oil rec-
ommended for use in this engine, use
of any API certified SM 5W-50 oil is
acceptable.
OILCHART I
CAUTION
When using hold-down straps, care
must be taken not to damage the
ATV.
CAUTION
When transporting the ATV, make
sure the brake lever lock is engaged,
the transmission is in low range, and
the ATV is properly secured.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only Arctic
Cat approved gasoline additives
should be used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended oil could cause serious
engine damage. Do not use oils
which contain graphite or molybde-
num additives. These oils can
adversely affect clutch operation.
Also, not recommended are racing,
vegetable, non-detergent, and cas-
tor-based oils.
