The longevity and safety of the snowmobile
can be increased by making periodic checks
of the items in the preceding checklist.
If, at any time, abnormal noises, vibrations,
or improper working conditions of any com-
ponent of this snowmobile are detected, DO
NOT OPERATE THE SNOWMOBILE.
Take the snowmobile to an authorized Arc-
tic Cat Snowmobile dealer for inspection
and adjustment or repair. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
The snowmobile should be taken to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer at
the end of each snowmobiling season for
general inspection and for off-season stor-
age servicing. This inspection and servicing
is at the expense of the snowmobile owner.
Fuel System
Gasoline Additives
Fuel de-icer can be used for all models.
Arctic Cat Fuel Stabilizer (p/n 0436-907)
should also be added to the last tank of
gasoline before storage.
Fuel Pickup Valves
These models are equipped with fuel
pickup valves in the gas tank. If ever there
is a restricted fuel flow and a pickup valve
is suspected, take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for this service. If not under warranty, this
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
Checking Engine Oil
Level
NOTE: The snowmobile must be
on a level surface for this procedure.
1. Start the engine and let it idle and
warm up until the engine reaches
operating temperature.
2. Shut the engine off; then allow the
engine to cool. Remove the right-
side access panel; then look at the oil
level tube on the backside of the oil
tank. The oil should be above the
MIN line and below the MAX line.

3. If step 1 and 2 was followed and the
oil level is not within the “MAX to
MIN” range, add the recommended

hole.

over-fill the oil tank.
4. Install the oil fill plug.
Changing Engine Oil/
Filter
NOTE: Recycle or properly dis-
pose of the used engine oil.
1. Start the engine and let it idle and
warm up until the engine reaches
operating temperature, or if the

engine to idle for approximately 30
seconds.
2. Shut the engine off; then allow the
engine to cool. Remove the access
panels and the hood.
3. Remove the torx-head screws and
the rear access plate from beneath
the snowmobile.

inspection is made on the fuel system
in which there may be fuel leakage,
there should be no welding, smoking,
open flames, etc., in the area.
CAUTION
If the engine and oil are not at oper-
ating temperature the oil will not
read correctly in the oil level tube.

ately after the engine is turned off.
