8 GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE BREAK-IN
(1100 cc Models)
The Arctic Cat engine (when new or
rebuilt) requires a short break-in period
before the engine is subjected to heavy
load conditions.
This engine does not require any pre-
mixed fuel during the break-in period.
To ensure trouble-free operation, care-
ful adherence to the following break-in
guidelines will be beneficial.
* With occasional full-throttle operation.
To ensure proper engine break-in, Arc-
tic 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.

By pushing the left button once, the
RPM and MPH will be displayed (one
on the readout screen and one with the
needle). By pushing the button once
again, the functions will be reversed.
By pushing the left button (with speed

between standard mph or metric kph.
Release the button when desired dis-
play appears.
! 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, unless consis-
tently operating in extremely cold
conditions (-26°C/-15°F or colder),
could cause spark plug fouling and
excessive carbon buildup. A 100:1
gas/oil mixture must be used in
conjunction with the oil-injection
system to ensure adequate engine
lubrication in extremely cold con-
ditions.
! CAUTION
DO NOT use premixed fuel in the
snowmobile gas tank. Engine dam-
age will occur.
