1-8 Break-In Procedure A new ATV and an overhauled ATV engine require a “break-in” period. The first 10 hours (or 200 miles) are most critical to the life of this ATV. Proper operation during this break-in period will help assure maximum life and performance from the ATV. During the first 10 hours (or 200 miles) of operation, always use less than 1/2 throttle. Varying the engine RPM during the break-in period allows the compo- nents to “load” (aiding the mating process) and then “unload” (allowing components to cool). Although it is essential to place some stress on the engine components during break-in, care should be taken not to overload the engine too often. Do not pull a trailer or carry heavy loads during the 10-hour break-in period. When the engine starts, allow it to warm up prop- erly. Idle the engine several minutes until the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Do not idle the engine for excessively long periods of time. During the break-in period, a maximum of 1/2 throt- tle is recommended; however, brief full-throttle accelerations and variations in driving speeds con- tribute to good engine break-in. During the break-in period (or whenever the brake pads are replaced), the hydraulic brake pads must be burnished. Slow disc-speed hydraulic brakes must be properly burnished in order to achieve maximum stopping power. NOTE: Do not be reluctant to heat up the brake pads during the burnishing procedure. After the completion of the break-in period, the engine oil and oil filter should be changed. Other maintenance after break-in should include checking of all prescribed adjustments and tightening of all fasteners. Gasoline - Oil - Lubricant RECOMMENDED GASOLINE The recommended gasoline to use is 87 minimum octane regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates (either ethanol or MTBE) are added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10% ethanol, 5% methane, or 5% MTBE are acceptable gasolines. When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not nec- essary to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the accumulation of moisture in the fuel sys- tem. RECOMMENDED ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION OIL The recommended oil to use is Arctic Cat 4-Cycle Engine Oil or an equivalent oil which is rated SE, SF, or SG under API service classification. These oils meet all of the lubrication requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV engine. The recommended engine oil viscosity is SAE 5W-30. Ambient temperature should determine the correct weight of oil. See the following viscosity chart for details. ! CAUTION BRAKE PADS MUST BE BURNISHED TO ACHIEVE FULL BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. Braking distance will be extended until brake pads are properly bur- nished. TO PROPERLY BURNISH THE BRAKES, USE FOL- LOWING PROCEDURE: • Choose an area sufficiently large to safely accel- erate ATV to 30 mph and to brake to a stop. • Accelerate to 30 mph; then compress brake lever to decelerate to 0-5 mph. • Repeat procedure five times until brakes are bur- nished. • This procedure burnishes the brake pads, stabi- lizes the pad material, and extends the life of the brake pads. ! WARNING Do not attempt sudden stops or put the ATV into a situation where a sudden stop will be required until the brake pads are properly burnished. ! CAUTION Do not use white gas. Only Arctic Cat approved gas- oline additives should be used. ! CAUTION Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could cause serious engine damage. Do not use oils which contain graphite or molybdenum additives. These oils can adversely affect clutch operation. Also, not recommended are racing, vegetable, non-detergent, and castor-based oils.

1-9 1 OILCHARTC RECOMMENDED FRONT 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 lubrication requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV front differentials and rear drives. FILLING GAS TANK ATV0049B Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the gas tank must be filled to its rated capacity only. Expansion room must be maintained in the tank par- ticularly if the tank is filled with cold gasoline and then moved to a warm area. Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank. Genuine Parts When replacement of parts is necessary, use only genuine Arctic Cat ATV parts. They are precision- made to ensure high quality and correct fit. Refer to the appropriate Illustrated Parts Manual for the cor- rect part number, quantity, and description. Preparation For Storage Arctic Cat recommends the following procedure to prepare the ATV for storage. 1. Clean the seat cushion (cover and base) with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. 2. Clean the ATV thoroughly by washing dirt, oil, grass, and other foreign matter from the entire ATV. Allow the ATV to dry thoroughly. DO NOT get water into any part of the engine or air intake. ! CAUTION Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubricant could cause serious front differential/rear drive damage. ! WARNING Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area. Never add fuel to the ATV gas tank near any open flames or with the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank. ! WARNING Do not overflow gasoline when filling the gas tank. A fire hazard could materialize. Always allow the engine to cool before filling the gas tank. ! WARNING Do not over-fill the gas tank. ! CAUTION Prior to storing the ATV, it must be properly serviced to prevent rusting and component deterioration. Back to TOC Back to Section TOC Next Back
