Recommended Engine Oil
(1100 cc Models)
The recommended oil to use is Synthetic
0W-40 Oil (p/n 5639-172 - qt) or (p/n
5639-173 - gal.).
After the engine break-in period, the
engine oil should be changed every 2500-
3000 miles on the non-turbo models or
1500-2000 miles on the turbo models 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.
Break-In Gas/Oil Mixing
Instructions (800 cc
Models)
Before mixing gasoline and oil, make
sure the oil is at room temperature (20°
C/68° F). Use a U.L. approved 22.7 l (6
U.S. gal.) gasoline container for mixing
the gasoline and oil. To properly mix the
fuel at a 100:1 ratio, use the following
procedure:
1. Pour gasoline into the gasoline con-
tainer until approximately half full.
2. Pour 236 ml (8 fl oz) of the recom-
mended 2-cycle oil into the gasoline
container.
3. Install cap on gasoline container and
shake the mixture vigorously.
4. Fill the gasoline container with gaso-
line; then cap the gasoline container
and shake the mixture vigorously.
5. Using a fine-mesh screened funnel,
pour the fuel mixture from the gaso-
line container into the snowmobile
gas tank.
Engine Break-In
The Arctic Cat engine (when new or
rebuilt) requires a short break-in period
before the engine is subjected to heavy
load conditions.
800 cc Models
Arctic Cat requires that the first tankful
of fuel be premixed at a 100:1 ratio in all
oil-injection models.
During the break-in period, a maximum
of 1/2 throttle is recommended; however,
brief full-throttle accelerations and varia-
tions in driving speeds contribute to good
engine break-in. After one (1) tankful
break-in period, the snowmobile may be
taken to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for a checkup. This
checkup is at the discretion and the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
1100 cc Models
This engine does not require any pre-
mixed fuel during the break-in period.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ven-
tilated 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.
CAUTION
Never mix oil and gasoline in the
snowmobile gas tank.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ven-
tilated area. Never add gasoline to the
snowmobile gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running. DO
NOT SMOKE while mixing fuel or fill-
ing the gas tank.
CAUTION
DO NOT exceed the one (1) tankful
limitation of a 100:1 gas/oil break-in
mixture. Continuous use of a gas/oil
mixture could cause spark plug foul-
ing and excessive carbon buildup.
CAUTION
DO NOT use premixed fuel in the
snowmobile gas tank. Engine dam-
age will occur.
