Transporting Atv; Gasoline-Oil-Lubricant - Arctic Cat 450 i Operator's Manual

Transporting ATV

When transporting the ATV, Arctic Cat
recommends that the ATV be in its normal
operating position (on all four wheels) and
the following procedure be used.
1. Engage the brake lever lock and place
the transmission in gear.
CAUTION
Failure to engage the brake lever lock
and place the transmission in gear
could result in the ATV rolling off the
trailer in the event of tie-down strap
failure.
2. Secure the ATV with load rated hold-
down straps.

NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps
are available from your Arctic Cat
ATV dealer. Ordinary rope is not rec-
ommended 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 ATV.

Gasoline-Oil-Lubricant

Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this
ATV is 87 minimum octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates
(either ethanol or MTBE) are added to
the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines con-
taining up to 10% ethanol, 5% methane,
or MTBE 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 molybde-
num additives.
