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 gas-
olines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline,
it is not necessary to add a gasoline
antifreeze since ethanol will prevent
the accumulation of moisture in the
fuel system.
Recommended Engine/
Transmission Oil
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the
use of genuine Arctic Cat lubricants.
The recommended oil to use in this
ATV is an oil which is rated SE, SF, or
SG under API service classification.
These oils meet all of the lubrication
requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV
engine. The recommended engine oil
viscosity is SAE 10W-40. Ambient
temperature should determine the cor-
rect weight of oil. See the viscosity
chart or an authorized Arctic Cat ATV
dealer for details.

Recommended Front
Differential/Rear Drive
Lubricant
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends
the use of genuine Arctic Cat lubri-
cants.
The recommended lubricant (front dif-
ferential and rear drive when applicable)
is SAE approved 80W-90 hypoid. This
lubricant meets all of the lubrication
requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV.
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.
! CAUTION
When transporting the ATV, make
sure the brake lever lock is
engaged, the transmission is in first
gear, and the ATV is properly
secured.
! CAUTION
Do not use white gas. 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.
! CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the
recommended lubricant could
cause serious front differential/rear
drive damage.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-
ventilated area. Never add gasoline
to the ATV gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running or
hot. DO NOT SMOKE while filling
the gas tank.
