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.
Preparation
For Storage
Arctic Cat recommends the following procedure to
prepare the ATV for storage.
1. Clean the seat cushion (cover and base) with a
damp cloth and allow to dry.
2. Clean the ATV thoroughly by washing dirt, oil,
grass, and other foreign matter from the entire
ATV. Allow the ATV to dry thoroughly. DO
NOT get water into any part of the engine or air
intake.
3. Either drain the gas tank or add Fuel Stabilizer
to the gas in the gas tank. Remove the air filter
housing cover and air filter. Start the engine and
allow it to idle; then using Arctic Cat Engine
Preserver, rapidly inject the preserver into the
air filter opening for a period of 10 to 20 sec-
onds. Install the air filter and housing cover.
4. Drain the carburetor float chamber.
5. Plug the hole in the exhaust system with a clean
cloth.
6. Apply light oil to the upper steering post bush-
ing and plungers of the shock absorbers.
7. Tighten all nuts, bolts, cap screws, and screws.
Make sure rivets holding components together
are tight. Replace all loose rivets. Care must be
taken that all calibrated nuts, cap screws, and
bolts are tightened to specifications (see Section
10).
8. Disconnect the battery cables (negative cable
first); then remove the battery, clean the battery
posts and cables, and store in a clean, dry area.
9. Store the ATV indoors in a level position.

ing it will assure many miles and hours of trouble-
free riding. Arctic Cat recommends the following

Prior to storing the ATV, it must be properly serviced
to prevent rusting and component deterioration.
! CAUTION
If the interior of the air filter housing is dirty, clean
the area before starting the engine.
! CAUTION
This maintenance-free battery should be charged at
the recommended rate every 30 days or permanent
damage will result if the battery completely dis-
charges.

using a plastic cover as moisture will collect on the
ATV causing rusting.
