Gas/Vent Hoses; Carburetor Float Bowl Drain - Arctic Cat 2008 300 DVX Owner's Manual

Fuel Valve
The fuel valve is incorporated in the gas tank. There are three
positions: ON, RES (reserve), and OFF.
In the OFF position, the valve will prevent gasoline fl ow to the
carburetor. In the ON position (the normal operating position),
gasoline will fl ow from the tank to the carburetor. In this position, 1.8 L
(0.5 U.S. gal.) will remain in the tank as a reserve quantity.
Leaving the fuel valve in the ON or RES position when the engine
is off can be hazardous. The carburetor may overfl ow and fuel may
run into the engine. This can cause a fi re or cause severe damage
to the ATV when the engine is started. Always leave the fuel valve
in the OFF position when the engine is not running.

GAS/VENT HOSES

Replace the gas hose every two years. Damage from aging may
not always be visible. Do not bend or obstruct the routing of the
carburetor vent hose. Make certain that the vent hose is securely
connected to the carburetor and hose holder and the opposite end is
always open.

CARBURETOR FLOAT BOWL DRAIN

Periodically, the fl oat bowl should be drained to remove
condensation. To drain the fl oat bowl, use the following procedure.
Moving the valve to the reserve
(RES) position will allow the
operator to use the remaining
gasoline in the tank. When turning
the valve to any of the three
positions, be sure the indicator
is pointed directly at the position
desired.
