 NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends
the use of genuine Arctic Cat lubri-
cants.
The recommended lubricant (transmis-
sion and rear drive) is SAE approved
80W-90 hypoid. This lubricant meets all
of the lubrication requirements of the
Arctic Cat ATV.
Filling 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.
KM099
Allow the engine to cool before filling
the gas tank. Care must be taken not to
overfill the tank. If overfilled, gas may
leak onto the engine creating a fire haz-
ard.
To remove and install the tank cap, use
the following procedure.
1. Remove the vent tube from the
instrument pod.
2. Turn the cap counterclockwise and
remove.
3. Turn the cap clockwise to tighten the
cap securely after filling the tank;
then install the vent tube making
sure it is properly routed.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended oil could cause serious
engine damage. Do not use oils
which contain graphite or molybde-
num additives. These oils can
adversely affect clutch operation.
Also, not recommended are racing,
vegetable, non-detergent, and cas-
tor-based oils.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the
recommended lubricant could cause
serious transmission or rear drive
damage.

tilated area. Never add gasoline to

flames or with the engine running or
hot. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the
gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-flow gasoline when fill-
ing the gas tank. A fire hazard could
materialize. Always allow the engine
