2. Press on the starter button.
CAUTION
Do not run the starter motor for more
than eight seconds per starting

heat causing severe starter motor
damage. Allow 15 seconds between
starting attempts to allow the starter
motor to cool.
3. If the engine does not start, press the
starter button again for eight seconds.

NOTE: At this point if the engine
does not start, pump the primer
three more times; then press the
starter button again.
4. Allow the engine to warm up for
approximately 2-3 minutes or until the
ATV will accelerate without hesitating.
Varying Temperature
Adjustments
To ensure proper starting and operating
performance, adjustments should be made
for varying ambient temperatures. See an
authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for rec-
ommended temperature adjustments.

NOTE: These recommended
adjustments are the
responsibility.
Shifting
The Arctic Cat ATV with an automatic
transmission has a dual-range transmis-
sion with reverse. To shift the ATV, fol-
low these steps:
738-436A
1. To engage the high range from neu-
tral, move the shift lever forward.
2. To engage the low range from high
range, move the shift lever outward
and forward.

NOTE: The high range is for nor-
mal riding with light loads. The low
range is for carrying heavy loads or
trailer towing. Compared to HIGH
range, the LOW range position pro-
vides slower speed and greater
torque to the wheels.
CAUTION
Always shift into low range when oper-
ating on wet or uneven terrain, when
towing or pushing heavy loads, and
when using a plow. Failure to follow
this caution may result in premature V-
belt failure or in damage to related
drive system components.
3. To engage reverse gear from neutral,
move the shift lever outward and
rearward into the R position.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop before
attempting to shift from one range to
the other or into reverse. Always shift
on level ground, or engage the brake
owner's
lever lock before shifting into another
range or into reverse.
! WARNING
Do not start the engine or operate
this ATV with the clutch shield
removed. Severe injury could result.
