Liquid Cooling System
„
NOTE: Debris in the engine com-
partment or packed between the cool-
ing fins of the radiator can reduce
cooling capability. Using a garden
hose, wash the radiator to remove
any debris preventing air flow.
The cooling system capacity can be found
in the specification chart. The cooling sys-
tem should be inspected daily for leakage
and damage. If leakage or damage is
detected, take the vehicle to an authorized
Arctic Cat dealer for service. Also, the cool-
ant level should be checked periodically.
„
NOTE: High engine RPM, low vehi-
cle speed, or heavy load can raise
engine temperature. Decreasing
engine RPM, reducing load, and
selecting an appropriate transmis-
sion gear can lower the temperature.
When filling the cooling system, use a
coolant/water mixture which will satisfy
the coldest anticipated weather conditions
of the area in accordance with the coolant
manufacturer’s recommendations.
While the cooling system is being filled,
air pockets may develop; therefore,
remove the bleed plug on the coolant
pipe at the front of the engine allowing
trapped air to escape. When pure coolant
(no air) flows from the bleed hole, install
the bleed plug, tighten securely, and then
fill the cooling system to the bottom of
the stand pipe in the radiator neck. Run
the engine for five minutes after the ini-
tial fill; then shut off the engine and
recheck coolant level.
„
NOTE: Use a good quality, biode-
gradable glycol-based, automotive-
type antifreeze.
Oil Cooler (XTZ)
„
NOTE: Dirt and debris must be
cleaned from the cooling fins regularly
to ensure proper engine oil cooling.
„
NOTE: High engine RPM, low vehi-
cle speed, or heavy load can raise
engine temperature. Decreasing
engine RPM, reducing load, and
selecting an appropriate transmis-
sion gear can lower the temperature.
Shock Absorbers
Each shock absorber should be visibly
checked weekly for excessive fluid leak-
age (some seal leakage may be observed
but it does not indicate the shock is in
need of replacement), cracks or breaks in
the lower case, or a bent shock rod. If any
one of these conditions is detected,
replacement is necessary.

CAUTION
Arctic Cat does not recommend
using a pressure washer to clean the
radiator core. The pressure may bend
or flatten the fins causing restricted
air flow, and electrical components
on the radiator could be damaged.
Use only a garden hose with spray
nozzle at normal tap pressure.
CAUTION
Continued operation of the vehicle
with high engine temperature may
result in engine damage or premature
wear.
! WARNING
Never check the coolant level when
the engine is hot or the cooling sys-
tem is under pressure.
CAUTION
After operating the vehicle for the ini-
tial 5-10 minutes, stop the engine,
allow the engine to cool down, and
check the coolant level. Add coolant
as necessary.
CAUTION
Continued operation of the ATV with
high engine temperature may result
in engine damage or premature wear.
