the ATV will accelerate without hes-
itating.
Starting A Cold Engine
(425)
NOTE: It is very important not to
touch or compress the throttle lever
during the starting procedures.
1. Turn off all electrical accessories
(hand warmer, lights, etc.); then
rotate the ignition switch key to the
first position (ON) leaving the head-
lights OFF. Note that the N is indi-
cated on the LCD.
2. Pull on the starter lever.
NOTE: Do not touch the throttle
lever until the engine has run for at
least 3 minutes.
3. Allow the engine to warm up for
approximately 2-3 minutes or until
the ATV will accelerate without hes-

Shifting
The Arctic Cat ATV with an automatic
transmission has a dual-range transmis-
sion with reverse. To shift the ATV, fol-
low these steps:
ACE-022A
1. To engage the high range from neu-
tral, move the shift lever forward.
2. To engage the low range from high
range, move the shift lever outward
and forward.
NOTE: The high range is for nor-
mal riding with light loads. The low
range is for carrying heavy loads or
trailer towing. Compared to HIGH
range, the LOW range position pro-
vides slower speed and greater
torque to the wheels.
3. To engage reverse gear from neutral,
move the shift lever outward and
rearward into the R position.
CAUTION
Do not run the starter motor for
more than eight seconds per start-
ing attempt. The starter motor may
overheat causing severe starter
motor damage. Allow 15 seconds
between starting attempts to allow
the starter motor to cool.
CAUTION
Always shift into low range when
operating on wet or uneven terrain,
when towing or pushing heavy
loads, and when using a plow. Fail-
ure to follow this caution may result
in premature V-belt failure or in dam-
age to related drive system compo-
nents.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop
before attempting to shift from one
range to the other or into reverse.
Always shift on level ground, or
engage the brake lever lock before
shifting into another range or into
reverse.
