Recommended Front
Differential/Rear Drive
Lubricant
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends
the use of genuine Arctic Cat lubri-
cants.
The recommended lubricant (front differ-
ential and rear drive) is SAE approved
80W-90 hypoid. This lubricant meets all
of the lubrication requirements of the
Arctic Cat ATV.
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.
ATV0049D
Allow the engine to cool before filling
the gas tank. Care must be taken not to
overfill the tank. If overfilled, gas may
leak onto the engine creating a fire haz-
ard.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after
filling the tank.
Break-In 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
prescribed adjustments and tightening of
all fasteners. At the discretion and
expense of the owner/operator, the ATV
may be taken to an authorized Arctic Cat
ATV dealer for this initial service.
Engine
New ATV’s and renewed ATV engines
require a “break-in” period. The first
month is 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 of operation,
always use less than ½ throttle. Varying
the engine RPM during the break-in
period allows the components to “load”
(aiding the engine/transmission compo-
nent mating process) and then “unload”
(allowing components to cool). Although
it is essential to place some stress on the
engine components during break-in, care
should be taken not to overload the
engine too often. Do not pull a trailer
during the break-in period.
When the engine starts, allow it to warm
up properly. Idle the engine several min-
utes until the engine has reached normal
operating temperature. Do not idle the
engine for excessively long periods of
time.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the
recommended lubricant could cause
serious front differential/rear drive
damage.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ven-
tilated area. Never add gasoline to
the ATV gas tank near any open
flames or with the engine running or
hot. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the
gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-flow gasoline when fill-
ing the gas tank. A fire hazard could
materialize. Always allow the engine
to cool before filling the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not overfill the gas tank.
