FILLING FUEL TANK
ATV0049B
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.
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely after filling the tank.
Genuine Parts
When replacement of parts is necessary, use only gen-
uine Arctic Cat ATV parts. They are precision-made to
ensure high quality and correct fit. Refer to the appro-
priate Illustrated Parts Manual for the correct 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.
3. Fill the fuel tank with fresh #1 or #2 diesel fuel
(according to ambient temperatures); then add a
quality anti-microbial additive. Run the engine in
a well-ventilated area for several minutes to make
sure fresh, treated fuel is circulated throughout the
entire injection system.
4. Plug the exhaust hole in the muffler with a clean
cloth.
5. Apply light oil to the upper steering post bushing
and plungers of the shock absorbers.
6. Tighten all nuts, bolts, cap screws, and screws.
Make sure rivets holding components together are
tight. Replace all loose rivets. Care must be taken
that all calibrated nuts, cap screws, and bolts are
tightened to specifications.
7. Fill the cooling system to the bottom of the stand
pipe in the filler neck with properly mixed coolant.
8. Disconnect the battery cables; then remove the
battery, clean the battery posts and cables, and
store in a clean, dry area.
9. Store the ATV indoors in a level position.
Preparation After
Storage
Taking the ATV out of storage and correctly preparing
it will assure many miles and hours of trouble-free rid-
ing. Arctic Cat recommends the following procedure
to prepare the ATV.
1. Clean the ATV thoroughly.
2. Clean the engine. Remove the cloth from the muf-
fler.
3. Check all control wires and cables for signs of
wear or fraying. Replace if necessary.
! 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.
! 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.
! WARNING
Do not over-fill the fuel tank.
CAUTION
Prior to storing the ATV, it must be properly serviced
to prevent rusting and component deterioration.
CAUTION
DO NOT store the ATV with biodiesel (B20) in the
fuel system. Severe damage to the fuel system may
occur.
CAUTION
Avoid storing outside in direct sunlight and avoid
using a plastic cover as moisture will collect on the
