12. Install the oil tank plug then start the
engine and let it idle. The oil pres-
sure light may illuminate briefly
after starting but should go out
within 10 seconds. If the light does
not go out within 10 seconds, the
engine will automatically shut
down. If a shutdown occurs check
that there are no leaks and that oil
has been added to the oil tank before
trying to start the engine again. If the
engine shuts down automatically, the
key will have to be turned off for 5
seconds before the engine can be
restarted. If the light does not stay
off after starting the engine a second
time, take the snowmobile to and
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for service.
13. Shut the engine off; then allow the
engine to cool; then look at the oil
level tube on the backside of the oil
tank. The oil should be above the
MIN line but not above the MAX
line.

“MAX to MIN” range, add the rec-
ommended engine oil through the oil
tank fill hole.
NOTE: Care must be taken not to
over-fill the oil tank.
