lubricant meets all of the lubrication
requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV.

Filling Gas Tank
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-
ventilated area. Never add gasoline
to the ATV 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 particularly if
the tank is filled with cold gasoline and
then moved to a warm area.

require a "break-in" period. The first
month is most critical to the life of this
ATV. Proper operation during this break-
in period will help assure maximum life
