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.
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 it 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
(p/n 0638-165) to the gas in the gas tank.
Remove the air filter housing cover and air fil-
ter. Start the engine and allow it to idle; then
using Arctic Cat Engine Storage Preserver (p/n
0636-177), rapidly inject the preserver into the
air filter opening for a period of 10 to 20 sec-
onds; then stop the engine. Install the air filter
and housing cover.
4. Drain the carburetor float chamber.
5. Plug the exhaust hole in the exhaust system with
a clean cloth.
6. Apply light oil to the upper steering post bush-
ing, plungers of the shock absorbers, and drive
chain.

Never add fuel to the ATV gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE
while filling the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not overflow gasoline when filling the gas tank. A
fire hazard could materialize. Always allow the
engine to cool before filling the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-fill the gas tank.
! CAUTION
Prior to storing the ATV, it must be properly serviced
to prevent rusting and component deterioration.
