Gasoline-Oil-Lubricant - Arctic Cat Prowler Operator's Manual


NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps
are available from your Arctic Cat
dealer. Ordinary rope is not recom-
mended because it can stretch
under load.
CAUTION
If using additional hold-down straps
in any other areas, care must be
taken not to damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
Always buckle the side restraints
when transporting to prevent buckle
damage to body panels.

Gasoline-Oil-Lubricant

Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this
vehicle is 87 minimum octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-
lines 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 accumula-
tion of moisture in the fuel system.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only Arctic Cat
approved gasoline additives should
be used.
Recommended Engine/
Transmission Oil
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended oil could cause serious
engine damage. Do not use oils which
contain graphite or molybdenum addi-
tives. These oils can adversely affect
clutch operation. Also, not recom-
mended are racing, vegetable, non-
detergent, and castor-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.

NOTE: If the vehicle will be operated
under severe conditions (heavy pull-
ing or loading, extremely high ambi-
ent air temperatures, or extended
high-speed operation), Arctic Cat rec-
ommends installing an engine oil
cooler kit if not so equipped. For addi-
tional information, see your local
authorized Arctic Cat dealer.
Recommended Front
Differential/Rear Drive
Lubricant

NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the
use of genuine Arctic Cat lubricants.
The recommended front differential/rear
drive lubricant is SAE approved 80W-90
hypoid. This lubricant meets all of the
lubrication requirements of this vehicle.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the rec-
ommended lubricant could cause seri-
ous front differential/rear drive damage.
Filling Gas Tank
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add gasoline to the
gas tank near any open flames or with
the engine running or hot. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the 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.
Allow the engine to cool before filling the
gas tank. Care must be taken not to over-
fill the tank. If overfilled, gas may leak
onto the engine creating a fire hazard.
