Gasoline-Oil
Recommended Gasoline
(5000/7000)
The recommended gasoline to use in
these snowmobiles is 87 octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-
lines containing up to 10% ethanol are
acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is
not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze
since ethanol will prevent the accumula-
tion of moisture in the fuel system.
Recommended Gasoline
(9000)
The only recommended gasoline to use in
these snowmobiles is 91 octane (minimum).
NOTE: For optimum performance,
use only 91 octane (minimum) gasoline.
In many areas, oxygenates are added to the
gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines containing
up to 10% ethanol are acceptable gasoline.
Do not use gasolines containing methanol.
Recommended Engine Oil
The recommended oil to use is C-TEC4
Synthetic Oil (p/n 6639-524 - qt) or (p/n
6639-528 - gal.).
After the engine break-in period, the
engine oil should be changed every 2500
miles (5000/7000) or 2000 miles (9000)
and before prolonged storage.
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its temperature
increases, the gas tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-
line and then moved to a warm area.
Also, if the snowmobile is to remain on a
trailer after filling the gas tank, the bed of
the trailer must be maintained level to
prevent gasoline from draining out
through the gas tank vent hose.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas or gasolines
containing methanol. Only Arctic Cat
approved gasoline additives should
be used.
CAUTION
If a situation arises wherein 91 octane
gasoline is not available, 89 or 87
octane gasoline can be substituted;
however, do not prolong the usage of
89 or 87 octane gasoline as it will
cause poor engine performance.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas or gasoline con-
taining methanol. Only Arctic Cat
approved gasoline additives should
be used.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add gasoline to the
snowmobile gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running. DO
NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
Do not sit on the snowmobile without
first installing the gas tank cap.
