FILLING GAS TANK
ATV0049B
Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the
gas tank must be filled to its rated capacity only.
Expansion room must be maintained in the tank par-
ticularly if the tank is filled with cold gasoline and
then moved to a warm area.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the
tank.
Genuine Parts
When replacement of parts is necessary, use only
genuine Arctic Cat ATV parts. They are precision-
made to ensure high quality and correct fit. Refer to
the appropriate Illustrated Parts Manual for the cor-
rect part number, quantity, and description.
! CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only Arctic Cat approved gas-
oline additives should be used.
! 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.
! WARNING
Do not over-fill or overflow gasoline when filling the
gas tank. A fire hazard could materialize. Always
allow the engine to cool before filling the gas tank.
