GENERAL INFORMATION
5
Oxygenated gasolines containing up to
10% ethanol or up to 15% MTBE are
acceptable gasoline. Do not use gaso-
lines containing methanol.
Recommended
Gasoline (800 cc
Models)
The only recommended gasoline to use
in these snowmobiles is 91 octane
(minimum).
NOTE:
For
optimum
perfor-
mance, use only 91 octane (mini-
mum) gasoline.
In many areas, oxygenates (either etha-
nol or MTBE) are added to the gasoline.
Oxygenated gasolines containing up to
10% ethanol or up to 15% MTBE are
acceptable gasoline. Do not use gaso-
lines containing methanol.
Recommended
Injection Oil
The recommended oil to use in the oil-
injection system is Arctic Cat Synthetic
APV 2-Cycle Oil. This oil is specially
formulated to be used either as an
injection oil or as a pre-mix oil (for
break-in) and meets all of the lubrica-
tion requirements of the Arctic Cat
snowmobile engine.
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.
Also, if the snowmobile is to remain on
a trailer after filling the gas tank, the
bed of the trailer must be maintained
level to prevent gasoline from draining
out through the gas tank vent hose.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas or gasoline
containing methanol. Only Arctic
Cat approved gasoline additives
should be used.
CAUTION
If a situation arises wherein 91
octane gasoline is not available, 87
octane gasoline can be substi-
tuted; however, do not prolong the
usage of 87 octane gasoline as it
will cause poor engine perfor-
mance.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas or gasoline
containing methanol. 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.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-
ventilated area. Never add gasoline
to the snowmobile gas tank near
any open flames or with the engine
running. DO NOT SMOKE while fill-
ing the gas tank. Do not sit on the
snowmobile without first installing
the gas tank cap.
