NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps are available from your Arctic

Cat ATV dealer. Ordinary rope is not recommended because it can

stretch under load.

GASOLINE-OIL-LUBRICANT

Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this ATV 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 MTBE are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary to add a gas-

oline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the accumulation of mois-

ture in the fuel system.

Recommended Engine Oil

NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of genuine Arctic Cat

lubricants.

The recommended oil to use in this

ATV is an oil which is rated SE,

SF, or SG under API service clas-

sification. These oils meet all of

the lubrication requirements of the

Arctic Cat ATV engine. The rec-

ommended engine oil viscosity is

SAE 10W-40. Ambient tempera-

ture should determine the correct

weight of oil. See the viscosity chart or an authorized Arctic Cat ATV

dealer for details.

! CAUTION

If using additional hold-down straps in any other areas, care must

be taken not to damage the ATV.

! CAUTION

When transporting the ATV, make sure the parking brake lock is

engaged and the ATV is properly secured.

! 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.
