Break-In Gas/Oil Mixing
Instructions (ZR 4000)
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 gasoline
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.
ZR 4000
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.
Pantera 7000
Premixing fuel and oil during the break
in period is not required. There is never a
more important period in the life of the
engine than the first 300 miles.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put
an excessive load on it for the first 300
miles. The various parts in the engine
wear and polish themselves to the correct
operating clearances. During this period,
prolonged full throttle operation or any
condition that might result in engine
overheating must be avoided.
Operating your snowmobile for the first
time: Start the engine and let it idle for 15
minutes.
0-160 km (0–100 miles): Avoid pro-
longed operation above 6000 RPM.
160-500 km (100–300 miles): Avoid pro-
longed operation above 8000 RPM.
500 km (300 miles) and beyond: The snow-
mobile can now be operated normally.
NOTE: After 500 miles of opera-
tion, the engine oil must be changed
and the oil filter replaced. If any
engine trouble should occur during
the engine break-in period, immedi-
ately have a Arctic Cat dealer check
the snowmobile.
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 limi-
tation of a 100:1 gas/oil break-in mix-
ture. Continuous use of a gas/oil
mixture, unless consistently operating
in extremely cold conditions (-26°C/-
15°F or colder), could cause spark plug
fouling and excessive carbon buildup. A
100:1 gas/oil mixture must be used in
conjunction with the oil-injection sys-
tem to ensure adequate engine lubrica-
tion in extremely cold conditions.
