Transporting ATV
When transporting the ATV, Arctic Cat recommends that the ATV be
in its normal operating position (on all four wheels) and the following
procedure be used.
1. Engage the brake lever lock.
2. Turn the fuel valve OFF.
3. Secure the ATV with load rated hold-down straps.
NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps are available from your
Arctic 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 gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary to add a gas-
oline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the accumulation of mois-
ture in the fuel system.
Recommended Engine Oil
The recommended oil to use is Arctic Cat ACX All Weather Syn-
thetic. Engine oil capacity is 0.8 L (0.84 U.S. qt).
Recommended Transmission Lubricant
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of genuine Arctic
Cat lubricants.
The recommended transmission lubricant to use is SAE 80W-90 hyp-
oid.
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its tem-
perature increases, the gas tank
must be filled to its rated capacity
only. Expansion room must be
maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold
gasoline and then moved to a
warm area.
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 and the ATV is properly secured.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only Arctic Cat approved gasoline addi-
tives should be used.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended one could
cause serious transmission damage.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area. Never add gaso-
line to the ATV gas tank near any open flames or with the engine
running or hot. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
