LIMITED WARRANTY
Arctic Cat Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Arctic Cat) extends a limited warranty on each new Arctic
Cat Snowmobile it manufactures and on each part and accessory manufactured or sold by Arctic Cat.
The warranty is extended to the original retail purchaser only on parts and accessories sold through
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. Warranty on snowmobiles is extended to the original
retail purchaser; however, the balance of the unused warranty may be transferred to a second party.
Arctic Cat warrants only the products it manufactures and/or sells and does not warrant that other
products will function properly when used with an Arctic Cat Snowmobile or will not damage the Arctic
Cat Snowmobile. Arctic Cat does not assume any liability for incidental or consequential damages.
Arctic Cat will repair or replace, at its option, free of charge (including any related labor charges), any
parts that are found to be warrantable in material or workmanship. This repair work MUST be done by
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. No transportation charges, rental charges, or
inconvenience costs will be paid by Arctic Cat. The warranty is validated upon examination of said
parts by Arctic Cat or an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. Arctic Cat reserves the right to
inspect such parts at its factory for final determination if warranty should apply.
The warranty periods are as follows:
1. For snowmobiles used for recreational purposes:
—If purchased between May 1 and November 30, warranty expires ONE (1) YEAR from
December 1 of the current year.
—If purchased between December 1 and April 30, ONE (1) YEAR from the date of sale.
2. For snowmobiles used for commercial purposes (including rental operations), NINETY (90)
DAYS from the date of sale.
3. SIX (6) MONTHS from date of sale for batteries on a full exchange basis and 50% exchange for
the remaining SIX (6) MONTHS of the first year.
4. THIRTY (30) DAYS from date of sale for all dealer installed parts and accessories.
5. UNTIL EXPIRATION OF THE NEW PRODUCT WARRANTY for all eligible replacement parts.
Exclusions to this warranty include normal wear, abuse (i.e. a track run on marginal snow conditions
without proper lubrication or additional idler wheels), and the following parts:
Fuel Filter Light Bulbs Windshield Drive Clutch/Driven Pulley Wear Parts
Drive Belt Wear Bars Water Pump Belt Brake Pads
Wear Strips Fan Belt Spark Plugs
The following will VOID Arctic Cat’s warranty:
1. Failure to perform the proper break-in procedure and all operator related maintenance, storage
procedures, and service as recommended in the Operator’s Manual.
2. Repairs and/or adjustments by anyone other than an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.
3. Use of an improper fuel mixture ratio.
4. Use of improper carburetor main jets.
5. Use of improper gasoline, lubricating oils, or spark plugs.
6. An accident or subjecting the snowmobile to misuse, abuse, or negligent operation.
7. Any modification or removal of parts (i.e. air-intake silencer, muffler, etc.) unless instructed to do
so by Arctic Cat.
8. Use of the snowmobile in any way for racing purposes.
9. Removal of the engine for use in another vehicle.
10. Removal or mutilation of the Vehicle Identification Number or Engine Serial Number.
11. Use of parts not sold or approved by Arctic Cat.
12. Track and tunnel damage resulting from either ice stud or hooker plate installation.
13. Damage due to improper transportation.
In consideration of the foregoing, any implied warranty is limited in duration to the various warranty
periods set forth. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state and country to country. Some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury to yourself and others, NEVER operate the
snowmobile without first reading and understanding this manual
and the Snowmobile Safety Handbook; 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
YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
When in need of replacement parts, oil, or accessories for your
Arctic Cat Snowmobile, be sure to only use GENUINE ARCTIC
CAT PARTS, OIL, AND ACCESSORIES. 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 Cata-
log. An Illustrated Parts Manual is available through your local
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.
! WARNING
A snowmobile is a very high performance vehicle. Because it does
accelerate 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 ade-
quate maneuvering and stopping distances. Read and study the entire
Operator’s Manual and Safety Handbook.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury to your-
self or others.

GENERAL INFORMATION 5
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. 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 contact-
ing an authorized Arctic Cat Snow-
mobile dealer for parts, service,
accessories, or warranty. If the com-
plete engine must be replaced, ask
the dealer to notify Arctic Cat for
correct registration information.
CONTROL LOCATIONS
Shown are the typical control loca-
tions for Arctic Cat snowmobiles.
Location of a specific control will
vary according to model.
741-375A
GASOLINE-OIL
Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in
these snowmobiles 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 or up to 15% MTBE
are acceptable gasolines.
Recommended Engine Oil
NOTE: See Specifications in
this manual for specific details on
recommended engine oil.
The recommended oil to use is Arc-
tic Cat Synthetic Turbo 0W-40 Oil.
! CAUTION
Do not use white gas or gaso-
line containing methanol. Only
Arctic Cat approved gasoline
additives should be used.
! CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the rec-
ommended oil may cause seri-
ous damage.

6 GENERAL INFORMATION
After the engine break-in period, the
engine oil should be changed every
2500-3000 miles and before pro-
longed storage.
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its tem-
perature increases, the gas tank must
be filled to its rated capacity only.
Expansion room must be maintained
in the tank particularly if the tank is
filled with cold gasoline 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.
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.
This engine does not require any
pre-mixed fuel during the break-in
period.
To ensure trouble-free operation,
careful adherence to the following
break-in guidelines will be benefi-
cial.
* With occasional full-throttle operation.
To ensure proper engine break-in,
Arctic Cat recommends that the
engine oil and filter be changed after
500 miles. This service is at the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER
INDICATOR LIGHTS
This snowmobile is equipped with
a combination speedometer/
tachometer. Indicator lights are
incorporated within the speedome-
ter/tachometer. Also incorporated
into the speedometer/tachometer is
a digital readout screen.

! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-
ventilated area. Never add gaso-
line to the snowmobile gas tank
near any open flames or with
the engine running. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the gas
tank. Do not sit on the snowmo-
bile without first installing the
gas tank cap.
! CAUTION
DO NOT use premixed fuel in
the snowmobile gas tank.
Engine damage will occur.
