! WARNING
Driving this vehicle without extra cau-
tion when towing a trailer will be haz-
ardous. Trailer towing can affect the
handling and braking of the vehicle.
Tow only at low speeds and never
exceed 10 mph. Avoid sudden accel-
erations and stopping of the vehicle.
Do not make quick maneuvers. Avoid
uneven surfaces and do not tow on
hills. Never carry passengers in a
trailer unless the trailer is designed
for such use and has a rigid tow bar.
Allow more stopping distance than
when not towing a trailer.

Transporting

When transporting, Arctic Cat recommends
that the vehicle be in its normal operating
position (on all four wheels) and the fol-
lowing procedure be used.
1. Place the transmission in park.
2. Secure the vehicle with load rated
hold-down straps.
NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps
are available from your Arctic Cat
dealer. Ordinary rope is not recom-
mended because it can stretch
under load.
If using additional hold-down straps
in any other areas, care must be
taken not to damage the vehicle.

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.
Do not use white gas. Only Arctic Cat
approved gasoline additives should
be used.
Recommended Engine/
Transmission Oil
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended oil could cause serious engine
damage. Do not use oils which contain
graphite
WT033A
These oils can adversely affect clutch
operation. Also, not recommended 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
WT034A
SM 0W-40 oil is acceptable.
