sel fuel or a biodiesel blend up to 20%. At tempera-
tures at or below -10° C (14° F), use #1 diesel fuel.

should not be used.
! CAUTION

weight of oil. See the viscosity chart or an authorized
Arctic Cat ATV dealer for details.

DIFFERENTIAL/REAR DRIVE
LUBRICANT
The recommended lubricant is Arctic Cat Gear Lube
or an equivalent gear lube which is SAE approved
80W-90 hypoid. This lubricant meets all of the lubrica-
tion requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV front differen-
tials and rear drives.
! CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended
lubricant could cause serious front differential/rear
drive damage.
FILLING FUEL TANK
! WARNING
Always fill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
Never add fuel to the ATV fuel tank near any open
flames or with the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE
while filling the fuel tank.
Since fuel expands as its temperature rises, the fuel
tank must be filled to its rated capacity only. Expan-
sion room must be maintained in the tank particularly
if the tank is filled with cold fuel and then moved to a
warm area.
! WARNING
Do not overflow fuel when filling the fuel tank. A fire
hazard could materialize. Always allow the engine to
cool before filling the fuel tank.
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely after filling the tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-fill the fuel tank.
