! WARNING

A snowmobile is a very high performance vehicle. Because it does acceler-

ate rapidly and is capable of very high speeds, it should not be operated by a

novice or an inexperienced operator. Never accelerate rapidly or drive at

high speed beyond the limits of visibility or without being totally familiar

with the terrain and what lies in front of you. Obey speed limits and never

operate at speeds that do not allow adequate maneuvering and stopping dis-

tances. Read and study the entire Operator’s Manual and Safety Handbook.

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury to yourself or

others.

Personal Injury

• To avoid injury to yourself and others, NEVER operate the snowmobile without

first reading and understanding this manual and the Snowmobile Safety Hand-

book; then follow the instructions and heed the warnings given.

• USE COMMON SENSE.

• DON’T DRINK and DRIVE.

• STAY IN CONTROL at ALL TIMES.

• TELL YOUR FRIENDS. If you see a friend operating a snowmobile recklessly, at

excessive speeds, while intoxicated, or in other unsafe ways, don’t wait until it is

too late to warn of the consequences of snowmobile misuse. Such conduct

endangers everyone. TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE SAFETY OF YOUR-

SELF AND OTHERS.

Parts and Accessories

When in need of replacement parts, oil, or accessories for your Arctic Cat Snowmo-

bile, be sure to only use GENUINE ARCTIC CAT PARTS, OIL, AND ACCESSO-

RIES. Only genuine Arctic Cat parts, oil, and accessories are engineered to meet the

standards and requirements of your Arctic Cat Snowmobile. For a complete list of

accessories, refer to the current Arctic Cat Accessory Catalog. To aid in service and

maintenance procedures on these snowmobiles, an Illustrated Parts Manual and a

Service Manual are available through your local Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.

Snowmobile Safety Rules

General Information

Snowmobile

Identification

The Arctic Cat Snowmobile has two

important identification numbers. The

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is

stamped into the tunnel near the right-

side footrest and on a decal beneath the

seat. The decal also displays pertinent

production information. The Engine

Serial Number (ESN) is stamped into the

crankcase of the engine.

0726-383

These numbers are required by the dealer

to complete warranty claims properly. No

warranty will be allowed by Arctic Cat

Inc. if the engine serial number or VIN is

removed or mutilated in any way.

Always provide the snowmobile name,

VIN, and ESN when contacting an autho-

rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for

parts, service, accessories, or warranty. If

the complete engine must be replaced,

ask the dealer to notify Arctic Cat for

correct registration information.

Control Locations

Shown are the typical control locations

for Arctic Cat snowmobiles. Location of

a specific control will vary according to

model.

741-633A

Gasoline-Oil

Recommended Gasoline

(600/1000 cc Models)

The recommended gasoline to use in

these snowmobiles is 87 octane regular

unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates

(either ethanol or MTBE) are added to

the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines con-

taining up to 10% ethanol or up to 15%

MTBE are acceptable gasolines.

When using ethanol blended gasoline, it

is not necessary to add a gasoline anti-

freeze since ethanol will prevent the

accumulation of moisture in the fuel sys-

tem.

NOTE: For optimum performance,

do not exceed the recommended 87

octane gasoline. Using a higher

octane gasoline will not increase

overall performance.

Recommended Gasoline

(800 cc Models)

The only recommended gasoline to use in

these snowmobiles is 91 octane (minimum).

CAUTION

Do not use white gas or gasolines

containing methanol. Only Arctic

Cat approved gasoline additives

should be used.



NOTE: For optimum performance,

use only 91 octane (minimum) gasoline.

In many areas, oxygenates (either ethanol

or MTBE) are added to the gasoline.

Oxygenated gasolines containing up to

10% ethanol or up to 15% MTBE are

acceptable gasoline. Do not use gasolines

containing methanol.

Recommended Injection

Oil

The recommended oil to use in the oil-

injection system is either Arctic Cat APV

Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil (p/n 4639-349 - qt)

or (p/n 5639-469 - gal.) or Formula SS

Semi-Synthetic Oil (p/n 5639-470 - qt) or

(p/n 5639-471 - gal.). This oil is specially

formulated to be used either as an injec-

tion oil or as a pre-mix oil (for break-in)

and meets all of the lubrication require-

ments of the Arctic Cat snowmobile

engine.

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.

Also, if the snowmobile is to remain on a

trailer after filling the gas tank, the bed of

the trailer must be maintained level to

prevent gasoline from draining out

through the gas tank vent hose.

Break-In Gas/Oil Mixing

Instructions

Before mixing gasoline and oil, make

sure the oil is at room temperature (20°

C/68° F). Use a U.L. approved 22.7 l (6

U.S. gal.) gasoline container for mixing

the gasoline and oil. To properly mix the

fuel at a 100:1 ratio, use the following

procedure:

1. Pour gasoline into the gasoline con-

tainer until approximately half full.

2. Pour 236 ml (8 fl oz) of the recom-

mended 2-cycle oil into the gasoline

container.

3. Install cap on gasoline container and

shake the mixture vigorously.

4. Fill the gasoline container with gaso-

line; then cap the gasoline container

and shake the mixture vigorously.

5. Using a fine-mesh screened funnel,

pour the fuel mixture from the gaso-

line container into the snowmobile

gas tank.

Engine Break-In

The Arctic Cat engine (when new or

rebuilt) requires a short break-in period

before the engine is subjected to heavy

load conditions.

CAUTION

If a situation arises wherein 91

octane gasoline is not available, 87

octane gasoline can be substituted;

however, do not prolong the usage

of 87 octane gasoline as it will cause

poor engine performance.

CAUTION

Do not use white gas or gasoline

containing methanol. Only Arctic

Cat approved gasoline additives

should be used.

CAUTION

Any oil used in place of the recom-

mended oil could cause serious

engine damage.

! WARNING

Always fill the gas tank in a well-ven-

tilated area. Never add gasoline to

the snowmobile gas tank near any

open flames or with the engine run-

ning. DO NOT SMOKE while filling

the gas tank. Do not sit on the snow-

mobile without first installing the gas

tank cap.

CAUTION

Never mix oil and gasoline in the

snowmobile gas tank.

! WARNING

Always fill the gas tank in a well-ven-

tilated area. Never add gasoline to

the snowmobile gas tank near any

open flames or with the engine run-

ning. DO NOT SMOKE while mixing

fuel or filling the gas tank.

Arctic Cat requires that the first tankful

of fuel be premixed at a 100:1 ratio in all

oil-injection models.

During the break-in period, a maximum

of 1/2 throttle is recommended; however,

brief full-throttle accelerations and varia-

tions in driving speeds contribute to good

engine break-in. After one (1) tankful

break-in period, the snowmobile may be

taken to an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-

mobile dealer for a checkup. This

checkup is at the discretion and the

expense of the snowmobile owner.

Drive Belt Break-In

Drive belts require a break-in period of

approximately 25 miles. Drive the snow-

mobile for 25 miles at 3/4 throttle or less.

By revving the engine up and down (but

not exceeding 60 mph), the exposed cord

on the side of a new belt will be worn

down. This will allow the drive belt to

gain its optimum flexibility and will

extend drive belt life.



NOTE: Before starting the snowmo-

bile in extremely cold temperatures,

the drive belt should be removed and

warmed up to room temperature.

Once the drive belt is at room temper-

ature, install the drive belt (see Drive

Belt sub-section in the Maintenance

section).

Speedometer/

Tachometer

These snowmobiles are equipped with

different speedometer/tachometer styles.

Determine which style your model is

equipped with and use the appropriate

following information.

Indicator Icons (Standard

Gauge)

Certain models are equipped with a stan-

dard gauge combination speedometer/

tachometer. Indicator icons are incorpo-

rated within the speedometer/tachometer.

Also incorporated into the speedometer/

tachometer is a digital readout screen.

FZ003D

A. Oil Pressure/Low Oil

B. Coolant Temperature

C. Low Fuel

D. Fuel Level

E. Service

F. High Beam

RPM/MPH (kph)

By pushing the left button once, the RPM

and MPH will be displayed (one on the

readout screen and one with the needle).

By pushing the button once again, the

functions will be reversed.

By pushing the left button (with speed

being displayed) for more than two sec-

onds, the display will change between

standard mph or metric kph. Release the

button when desired display appears.

With RPM displayed on the readout screen

by pushing and holding the left button, max-

imum RPM will be displayed on the readout

screen. The maximum RPM readout will

reset when the right button is pushed (while

maximum RPM is displayed).

CAUTION

DO NOT exceed the one (1) tankful

limitation of a 100:1 gas/oil break-in

mixture. Continuous use of a gas/oil

mixture, unless consistently operat-

ing in extremely cold conditions (-

26°C/-15°F or colder), could cause

spark plug fouling and excessive

carbon buildup. A 100:1 gas/oil mix-

ture must be used in conjunction

with the oil-injection system to

ensure adequate engine lubrication

in extremely cold conditions.

CAUTION

Never run the engine with the drive

belt removed. Excessive revving of

the engine could result in serious

engine damage and drive clutch fail-

ure.
