Lubricant
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends
the use of genuine Arctic Cat lubri-
cants.The recommended lubricant
(front differential and rear drive) is
SAE approved 80W-90 hypoid. This
lubricant meets all of the lubrica-
tion requirements of the Arctic Cat
ATV.
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its tempera-
ture increases, the gas tank must be
filled to its rated capacity only. Expan-
sion room must be maintained in the
tank particularly if the tank is filled
with cold gasoline and then moved to a
warm area.
ATV0049D
Allow the engine to cool before filling
the gas tank. Care must be taken not to
overfill the tank. If overfilled, gas may
leak onto the engine creating a fire haz-
ard.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after
filling the tank.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
After the completion of the break-in
period, the engine oil and oil filter
should be changed. Other maintenance
after break-in should include checking
of all prescribed adjustments and tight-
ening of all fasteners. At the discretion
and expense of the owner/operator, the
ATV may be taken to an authorized
Arctic Cat ATV dealer for this initial
service.
Engine
New ATV’s and renewed ATV engines
require a “break-in” period. The first
month is most critical to the life of this
ATV. Proper operation during this
break-in period will help assure maxi-
mum life and performance from the
ATV.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the
recommended lubricant could
cause serious front differential/rear
drive damage.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-
ventilated area. Never add gasoline
to the ATV gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running
or hot. DO NOT SMOKE while filling
the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-flow gasoline when fill-
ing the gas tank. A fire hazard
could materialize. Always allow the
engine to cool before filling the gas
tank.
! WARNING
Do not overfill the gas tank.
