Break-In Procedure
A new ATV and an overhauled ATV engine require a
“break-in” period. The first 10 hours (or 200 miles) are
most critical to the life of this ATV. Proper operation
during this break-in period will help assure maximum
life and performance from the ATV.
During the first 10 hours (or 200 miles) of operation,
always use less than 1/2 throttle. Varying the engine
RPM during the break-in period allows the compo-
nents to “load” (aiding the mating process) and then
“unload” (allowing components to cool). Although it
is essential to place some stress on the engine compo-
nents during break-in, care should be taken not to
overload the engine too often. Do not pull a trailer or
carry heavy loads during the 10-hour break-in period.
When the engine starts, allow it to warm up properly.
Idle the engine several minutes until the engine has
reached normal operating temperature. Do not idle the
engine for excessively long periods of time.
During the break-in period, a maximum of 1/2 throttle
is recommended; however, brief full-throttle accelera-
tions and variations in driving speeds contribute to
good engine break-in.
During the break-in period (or whenever the brake
pads are replaced), the hydraulic brake pads must be
burnished. Slow disc-speed hydraulic brakes must be
properly burnished in order to achieve maximum stop-
ping power.

NOTE: Do not be reluctant to heat up the brake
pads during the burnishing procedure.
After the completion of the break-in period, the engine
oil and oil filter should be changed. Other maintenance
after break-in should include checking of all pre-
scribed adjustments and tightening of all fasteners.
Gasoline - Oil - Lubricant
RECOMMENDED GASOLINE
The recommended gasoline to use is 87 minimum
octane regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates
(either ethanol or MTBE) are added to the gasoline.
Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10% ethanol,
5% methane, or 5% MTBE are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not neces-
sary to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will pre-
vent the accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
RECOMMENDED ENGINE/
TRANSMISSION OIL
The recommended oil to use is Arctic Cat 4-Cycle
Engine Oil (p/n 0436-005) or an equivalent oil which
is rated SE, SF, or SG under API service classification.
These oils meet all of the lubrication requirements of
the Arctic Cat ATV engine. The recommended engine
oil viscosity is SAE 10W-40. Ambient temperature
should determine the correct weight of oil. See the
following viscosity chart for details.

! CAUTION
BRAKE PADS MUST BE BURNISHED TO
ACHIEVE FULL BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS.
Braking distance will be extended until brake
pads are properly burnished.
TO PROPERLY BURNISH THE BRAKES, USE
FOLLOWING PROCEDURE:

Choose an area sufficiently large to safely
accelerate ATV to 30 mph and to brake to a stop.

Accelerate to 30 mph; then compress brake
lever to decelerate to 0-5 mph.

Repeat procedure five times until brakes are
burnished.

This procedure burnishes the brake pads,
stabilizes the pad material, and extends the life
of the brake pads.
! WARNING
Do not attempt sudden stops or put the ATV into
a situation where a sudden stop will be required
until the brake pads are properly burnished.
! CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only Arctic Cat approved
gasoline additives should be used.
! CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil
could cause serious engine damage. Do not use
oils which contain graphite or molybdenum
additives. These oils can adversely affect clutch
operation. Also, not recommended are racing,
vegetable, non-detergent, and castor-based oils.
