Filling Gas Tank

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.
Do not over-flow gasoline when filling
the gas tank. A fire hazard could
materialize. Always allow the engine
to cool before filling the gas tank.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after
filling the tank.
Do not overfill the gas tank.

Engine Break-In

After the completion of the break-in
period, the engine oil and oil filter should
be changed. Other maintenance after
break-in should include checking of all
prescribed adjustments and tightening of
all fasteners. At the discretion and
expense of the owner/operator, the vehi-
cle may be taken to an authorized Arctic
Cat dealer for this initial service.
New vehicles and engines require a "break-
in" period. The first month is most critical to
the life of this vehicle. Proper operation dur-
ing this break-in period will help assure max-
imum life and performance from this vehicle.
