FILLING GAS TANK
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area. Never add
fuel to the ATV gas tank near any open flames or with the
engine running. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the gas
tank must be filled to its rated capacity only. Expansion
room must be maintained in the tank particularly if the
tank is filled with cold gasoline and then moved to a
warm area.
! WARNING
Do not overflow gasoline when filling the gas tank. A
fire hazard could materialize. Always allow the engine to
cool before filling the gas tank.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-fill the gas tank.

RECOMMENDED GASOLINE
The recommended gasoline to use is 87 minimum octane
regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to
the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10%
ethanol or 5% methane are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary
to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the
accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only Arctic Cat approved gaso-
line additives should be used.
RECOMMENDED ENGINE/
TRANSMISSION OIL
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could
cause serious engine damage. Do not use oils which
contain graphite or molybdenum additives. These oils
can adversely affect clutch operation. Also, not recom-
mended are racing, vegetable, non-detergent, and cas-
tor-based oils.
The recommended oil to use is Arctic Cat ACX All
Weather synthetic engine oil, which has been specifically
formulated for use in this Arctic Cat engine. Although
Arctic Cat ACX All Weather synthetic engine oil is the
only oil recommended for use in this engine, use of any
API certified SM 0W-40 oil is acceptable.
OILCHARTJ
RECOMMENDED FRONT
DIFFERENTIAL/REAR DRIVE
LUBRICANT
The recommended lubricant is Arctic Cat Gear Lube or
an equivalent gear lube which is SAE approved 80W-90
hypoid. This lubricant meets all of the lubrication
requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV front differentials
and rear drives.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubri-
cant could cause serious front differential/rear drive
damage.
