During this period, drive the vehicle for 25 miles at 3/4 throttle or less while varying throttle position (but not exceeding 40 mph). By varying throttle position, the exposed cord on the side of a new belt will be conditioned allowing the drive belt to gain its optimum flexibility and will extend drive belt life. Gasoline - Oil - Lubricant RECOMMENDED GASOLINE The recommended gasoline to use is 87 (Wildcat/Wildcat 4) or 91 (X/4X) minimum octane regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to the gasoline. Oxy- genated gasolines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5% methane are acceptable gasolines. When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the accumulation of moisture in the fuel system. RECOMMENDED ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION OIL The recommended oil to use is Arctic Cat ACX All Weather synthetic engine oil, which has been specifically formulated for use in this Arctic Cat engine. Although Arctic Cat ACX All Weather synthetic engine oil is the only oil recommended for use in this engine, use of any API certified SM 0W-40 oil is acceptable. OILCHARTJ 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 vehicle front differential and rear drive.

Only Arctic Cat approved gaso- line additives should be used. CAUTION On the Wildcat/Wildcat 4, 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 opera- tion. Also, not recommended are racing, vegetable, non- detergent, and castor-based oils. CAUTION Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubri- cant could cause serious front differential/rear drive damage.
5 FILLING GAS TANK Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the gas tank must be filled to its specified capacity only. Expan- sion room must be maintained in the tank particularly 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 Arc- tic Cat parts. They are precision-made to ensure high quality and correct fit. Refer to the appropriate Illustrated Parts Man- ual for the correct part number, quantity, and description. Preparation For Storage 1. Clean the seat cushion (cover and base) with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. 2. Clean the vehicle thoroughly by washing dirt, oil, grass, and other foreign matter from the entire vehicle. Allow it to dry thoroughly. DO NOT get water into any part of the engine or air intake. 3. Either drain the gas tank or add Fuel Stabilizer to the gas in the gas tank. Remove the air filter housing cover and air filter. Start the engine and allow it to idle. Using Arctic Cat Engine Storage Preserver, rap- idly inject the preserver into the air filter opening for a period of 10 to 20 seconds; then stop the engine. Install the air filter and housing cover. 4. Plug the exhaust hole in the exhaust system with a clean cloth. 5. Apply light oil to the plungers of the shock absorbers. 6.
