Air filter
The air filter (including the foam
element) must be kept clean to
provide good engine power, a low
gas consumption and a long life of
the engine.
If operated in dusty, wet or muddy
conditions, inspect and service the
filter more frequently than under
normal conditions.
!! CAUTION !!
Never use your ATV without air
filter or foam element (danger of
engine damage.
Air Filter Housing Drain Tube
Periodically (weekly) check the
drain tube for gasoline or oil accu-
mulation.
!! WARNING !!
If necessary drain the gasoline or
oil into a suitable container.
Shock absorbers
Each shock absorber should be vi-
sibly checked weekly for excessive
fluid leakage, cracks or breaks in
the lower case, or a bent shock
rod. If any one of these conditions
is detected, replacement is neces-
sary. Contact your Arctic Cat ATV
dealer.

tremely cold weather (-23° C or

kage is excessive, replacement is
