Break-In Gas/Oil Mixing
Instructions (800 cc
Models)
Before mixing gasoline and oil, make
sure the oil is at room temperature (20°
C/68° F). Use a U.L. approved 22.7 l (6
U.S. gal.) gasoline container for mixing
the gasoline and oil. To properly mix the
fuel at a 100:1 ratio, use the following
procedure:
1. Pour gasoline into the gasoline con-
tainer until approximately half full.
2. Pour 236 ml (8 fl oz) of the recom-
mended 2-cycle oil into the gasoline
container.
3. Install cap on gasoline container and
shake the mixture vigorously.
4. Fill the gasoline container with gaso-
line; then cap the gasoline container
and shake the mixture vigorously.
5. Using a fine-mesh screened funnel,
pour the fuel mixture from the gaso-
line container into the snowmobile
gas tank.
Engine Break-In
The Arctic Cat engine (when new or
rebuilt) requires a short break-in period
before the engine is subjected to heavy
load conditions.
800 cc Models
Arctic Cat requires that the first tankful
of fuel be premixed at a 100:1 ratio in all
oil-injection models.
During the break-in period, a maximum
of 1/2 throttle is recommended; however,
brief full-throttle accelerations and varia-
tions in driving speeds contribute to good
engine break-in. After one (1) tankful
break-in period, the snowmobile may be
taken to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for a checkup. This
checkup is at the discretion and the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
1100 cc Models
This engine does not require any pre-
mixed fuel during the break-in period.
To ensure trouble-free operation, careful
adherence to the following break-in
guidelines will be beneficial.
* With occasional full-throttle operation.
To ensure proper engine break-in, Arctic
Cat recommends that the engine oil and
filter be changed after 500 miles. This
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
Drive Belt Break-In
Drive belts require a break-in period of
approximately 25 miles. Drive the snow-
mobile for 25 miles at 3/4 throttle or less.
By revving the engine up and down (but
not exceeding 60 mph), the exposed cord
on the side of a new belt will be worn
down. This will allow the drive belt to
gain its optimum flexibility and will
extend drive belt life.
CAUTION
Never mix oil and gasoline in the
snowmobile gas tank.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ven-
tilated area. Never add gasoline to the
snowmobile gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running.
DO NOT SMOKE while mixing fuel or
filling the gas tank.
CAUTION
DO NOT exceed the one (1) tankful
limitation of a 100:1 gas/oil break-in
mixture. Continuous use of a gas/oil
mixture could cause spark plug foul-
ing and excessive carbon buildup.
CAUTION
DO NOT use premixed fuel in the
snowmobile gas tank. Engine dam-
age will occur.
