General Maintenance


NOTE: Proper maintenance of the
ATV is important for optimum per-
formance. Follow the Service Book-
let and all ensuing maintenance
instructions/information.
If, at any time, abnormal noises, vibrations,
or improper functioning of any component
of this ATV is detected, DO NOT OPER-
ATE THE ATV. Take the ATV to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for inspection
and adjustment or repair.
If the owner/operator does not feel quali-
fied to perform any of these maintenance
procedures or checks, take the ATV to an
authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for
professional service.

Liquid Cooling System


NOTE: Debris in front of the
engine or packed between the cool-
ing fins of the radiator can reduce
cooling capability. Using a hose,
wash the radiator to remove any
debris preventing air flow.
CAUTION
Arctic Cat does not recommend using
a pressure washer to clean the radia-
tor core. The pressure may bend or
flatten the fins causing restricted air
flow, and electrical components on the
radiator could be damaged. Use only a
garden hose with spray nozzle at nor-
mal tap pressure.
The cooling system capacity can be
found in the specifications chart. The
cooling system should be inspected daily
for leakage and damage. If leakage or
damage is detected, take the ATV to an
authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for ser-
vice. Also, the coolant level should be
checked periodically.
CAUTION
Continued operation of the ATV with
high engine temperature may result in
engine damage or premature wear.

NOTE: High engine RPM, low vehi-
cle speed, or heavy load can raise
engine temperature.
engine RPM, reducing load, and
selecting an appropriate transmis-
sion gear can lower the temperature.
Checking/Filling
1. Remove the two screws from the
front of the radiator access panel.
2. Lift the front of the access panel;
then slide the panel forward to dis-
engage the two rear tabs.
3. Move the panel rearward until free
of the rack.
4. Carefully rotate the radiator cap
counterclockwise to release pres-
sure; then remove the cap.
5. Add coolant as necessary; then install
the radiator cap and access panel.

NOTE: Use a good quality, biode-
gradable glycol-based, automotive-
type antifreeze.
! WARNING
Never check the coolant level when
the engine is hot or the cooling sys-
tem is under pressure.
