RECOMMENDED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL/REAR DRIVE LUBRICANT Preparation For Storage 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 lubrication requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV front differentials and rear drives. CAUTION Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubricant could cause serious front differential/rear drive damage. FILLING GAS TANK ! WARNING Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area.
Preparation After Storage Taking the ATV out of storage and correctly preparing it will assure many miles and hours of trouble-free riding. Arctic Cat recommends the following procedure to prepare the ATV. 1. Clean the ATV thoroughly. 2. Clean the engine. Remove the cloth from the muffler. 3. Check all control cables for signs of wear or fraying. Replace if necessary. 4. Change the engine/transmission oil and filter. 5. Charge the battery; then install. Connect the battery cables.

3. Remove the spark plug; then attach the high tension lead to the plug and ground the plug on the cylinder head well away from the spark plug hole. 4. Attach the Compression Tester Kit. NOTE: The engine must be warm and the battery must be fully charged for this test. 5. While holding the throttle lever in the full-open position, crank the engine over with the electric starter until the gauge shows a peak reading of 95-115 psi (five to 10 compression strokes). CC007DC Valve Adjuster Procedure A.
Adjust the gap to specification (see General Information General Specifications). Use a feeler gauge to check the gap. KC145 ATV0052 When installing the spark plug, be sure to tighten it securely. A new spark plug should be tightened 1/2 turn once the washer contacts the cylinder head. A used spark plug should be tightened 1/8 - 1/4 turn once the washer contacts the cylinder head. Adjusting Throttle Cable To adjust the throttle cable free-play, follow this procedure. 1.
Adjusting Engine RPM (Idle) To properly adjust the idle RPM, a tachometer is necessary. To adjust idle RPM, use the following procedure. 1. With the transmission in neutral, start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature. 2.

Electrical System This section has been organized into sub-sections which show procedures for the complete servicing of the Arctic Cat ATV electrical system. SPECIAL TOOLS A number of special tools must be available to the technician when performing service procedures in this section. Refer to the current Special Tools Catalog for the appropriate tool description.
NOTE: The maintainer/charger will charge the battery to 95% capacity at which time the Maintenance Charge Indicator (D) will illuminate and the maintainer/charger will change to pulse/float maintenance. If the battery falls below 12.9 DC volts, the charger will automatically start again at the first step of the charge sequence. NOTE: Not using a battery charger with the proper float maintenance will damage the battery if connected over extended periods.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage, troubleshoot the battery, fuse, switch, or the main wiring harness. NOTE: If the meter shows battery voltage, the main wiring harness is good; proceed to test the switch/component or connector. RESISTANCE (Switch) 1. Remove the spade connectors from the brake switch. 2. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position. 3. Connect the red tester lead to one switch terminal; then connect the black tester lead to the other switch terminal. 733-554C 3.
VOLTAGE (Main Harness Connector to Fan Motor) 1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position. 2. Connect the red tester lead to the orange wire; then connect the black tester lead to ground. CAUTION Always replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating. 3. The meter must show battery voltage. NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage, troubleshoot the battery, fuse, motor, or the main wiring harness. NOTE: If the meter shows battery voltage, the main wiring harness is good.
RELAYS NOTE: If the meter does not read as specified, The relays are identical plug-in type located on the power distribution module. Relay function can be checked by switching relay positions. The relays are interchangeable. NOTE: The module and wiring harness are not a serviceable component and must be replaced as an assembly. Ignition Coil replace the spark plug cap.
2. With appropriate needle adapters on the meter leads, connect the red tester lead to the voltage lead (V); then connect the black tester lead to the ground lead (G). Ignition Switch The ignition switch harness connects to the switch with a three-pin connector. To access the connector, remove the access panel in front of the handlebar. KC248A 3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. 4. The meter must show greater than 5.0 volts. 5.
6. Leaving the tester lead on pin B, connect the other tester lead to pin C. NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified, replace the switch. 7. The meter must show less than 1 ohm. NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resistance, replace the switch. Handlebar Control Switches Gear Position Switch The gear position switch connector is located on the right side of the engine over the V-belt housing. The connectors are located on the right side of the ATV next to the PDM.
VOLTAGE (Charging Coil - No Load) The connector is the black three-pin one on the right side of the engine just above the starter motor. NOTE: Test the engine-side of the connector. 1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position. 2. Test between the three black wires for a total of three tests. 3. With the engine running at the specified RPM, all wire tests must show 60 AC volts. CAUTION Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10 seconds.
NOTE: If the meter showed no voltage, inspect ground connections, starter motor lead, battery voltage (at the battery), starter relay, or the neutral start relay. REMOVING Regulator/Rectifier The regulator/rectifier is located under the front rack and front fenders above the oil cooler. 1. Disconnect the battery. TESTING CAUTION Always disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery first; then disconnect the positive cable. 2.
3. The meter must show battery voltage. NOTE: If the meter does not show voltage, inspect fuses, wiring harness, connectors, and switches. Voltage (Brakelights) NOTE: Perform this test on the main harness side of the connector. Also, the ignition switch should be in the ON position and the brake (either foot pedal or hand lever) must be applied. 1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position. KC223 Voltage (Headlights) NOTE: Perform this test on the main harness side of the connectors.
B. If the meter does not show battery voltage, inspect the LIGHTS fuse, ignition switch, or the main wiring harness. 3. Set the tester to DC VOLTS; then turn the ignition switch to the ON position and move the shift lever to the R (reverse) position. The meter must show battery voltage. NOTE: If the meter does not show battery voltage, Ignition Timing use the following procedure to troubleshoot. 4.
