LUBRICANT
The recommended lubricant is Arctic Cat Gear Lube
or an equivalent gear lube which is SAE approved
80W-90 hypoid. This lubricant meets all the lubrica-
tion requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV front differen-
tial and rear drive.
FILLING GAS TANK
Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, 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.

Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank.
Genuine Parts
When replacement of parts is necessary, use only gen-
uine Arctic Cat ATV parts. They are precision-made to
ensure high quality and correct fit. Refer to the appro-
priate Illustrated Parts Manual for the correct part
number, quantity, and description.
Preparation
For Storage
Arctic Cat recommends the following procedure to
prepare the ATV for storage.
1. Clean the seat cushion (cover and base) with a
damp cloth and allow it to dry.
2. Clean the ATV thoroughly by washing dirt, oil,
grass, and other foreign matter from the entire
ATV. Allow the ATV to dry thoroughly. DO NOT
get water into any part of the engine or air intake.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could
cause serious engine damage. Do not use oils which
contain graphite or molybdenum additives. These oils
can adversely affect clutch operation. Also, not recom-
mended are racing, vegetable, non-detergent, and cas-
tor-based oils.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area. Never
add fuel to the ATV gas tank near any open flames or
with the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE while filling
the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not overflow gasoline when filling the gas tank. A
fire hazard could materialize. Always allow the engine
to cool before filling the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-fill the gas tank.
CAUTION
Prior to storing the ATV, it must be properly serviced
to prevent rusting and component deterioration.
