2. Turn the fuel valve OFF.

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, which has been
specifically formulated for use in
this Arctic Cat engine. Although
Arctic Cat ACX All Weather syn-
thetic engine oil is the only oil rec-
ommended for use in this engine,
use of any API certified SM 0W-40
oil is acceptable.
Recommended Transmission Lubricant
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of genuine Arctic
Cat lubricants.
The recommended transmission lubricant to use is SAE 80W-90
hypoid.
CAUTION
Failure to engage the brake lever lock and place the transmis-
sion in gear could result in the ATV rolling off the trailer in the
event of tie-down strap failure.
CAUTION
When using hold-down straps, care must be taken not to damage
the ATV.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only Arctic Cat approved gasoline addi-
tives should be used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could cause
serious engine damage. Do not use oils which contain graph-
ite or molybdenum additives. These oils can adversely affect
clutch operation. Also, not recommended are racing, vegeta-
ble, non-detergent, and castor-based oils.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended one could
cause serious transmission damage.
