ATV-0004

You’ll find it important to dress correctly forriding in order to prevent scraped skin andserious head injuries. It’s easy and could saveyou time in the long run not having to con-tend with an injury. Of course, it also makessense to remember the seasons. Wear a hatunder your helmet and a snowmobile suit inthe winter and lighter, protective clothing inthe summer. Following is the minimum pro-tection you need to wear during every ride:

Helmet

Your helmet is the most important piece ofprotective gear for safe riding. A helmetcan prevent a severe head injury. There areseveral types of helmets on the market, butmake sure you wear a helmet that complieswith the current standards of the U.S.Department of Transportation (DOT), TheSnell Memorial Foundation, or the Ameri-can National Standards Institute (ANSI).Helmets that comply with one or more ofthese agency’s standards have a sticker onthe inside or outside of the helmet.

These helmets should provide full-faceprotection.

If you drop or damage your helmet, get anew one immediately. Your helmet maynot protect your head from injury if it hascracks, fissures, or other damage to itsoutside or core padding.

Remember, your helmet won’t do youany good if the chin strap isn’t fastened.

Gloves

Your hands are targets for flying objects andbranches. Along with providing skin pro-tection, gloves will shield your hands fromharsh weather. Wear gloves that are weatherresistant and have a gripping surface tokeep them from sliding off the handlebars.Off-road style gloves with knuckle pads arethe best for comfort and protection.

Safe Riding Clothing and Gear (Operator and Passenger)

Helmets should have one of these:1. DOT label2. Snell label3. ANSI Z90.1 label


Boots/Ankle Protection

Wear a boot that covers the largest possi-ble area of your leg (preferably up toyour knee) and can handle significantimpact. Choosing boots with low heelsand a good tread will help prevent yourfeet from slipping off the footrests in wetor rugged conditions or getting hurt ifthey get hit by rocks, dirt, or branches.

Eye Protection

Wear eye protection, such as goggles, tocompletely surround your eyes to preventgetting dirt or other items in your eyes.Do not depend on sunglasses for propereye protection. Sunglasses are not recom-mended; they don’t prevent objects fromflying in through the sides.

Long Pants and Long Sleeved Shirt

The goal is to protect your body frombranches, long grass, airborne objects, oranything else that could scrape your skin.The more thick and durable the material,the better protection it’ll provide. Ridingpants with kneepads, a jersey, and shoul-der pads provide the best protection.

The second step in Prevention is check-ing the condition of your ATV. Chancesare good that you’ll be using your ATV insome rough terrain, and there’s no wayyou want your brakes to go out when rid-ing downhill. You need to check the fol-lowing parts on your ATV before everyride.

1. Tires and Wheels

2. Controls and Cable

3. Lights and Electrical

4. Oil and Fuel

5. Chassis and Drive Train

6. Miscellaneous Items

1. TIRES AND WHEELSCorrect tire pressure is crucial. Consultthe General Maintenance section of thisOperator’s Manual for tire pressureguidelines. Incorrect tire pressure cancause poor handling, instability, and aloss of ATV control.

While checking the tire pressure, inspectthe tread and sidewalls of the tires forcracks, cuts, or other damage that couldindicate they need to be replaced.

2. CONTROLS AND CABLEWith the engine running and brakeapplied, check all transmission posi-tions: forward, neutral, and reverse.

A. BrakesSqueeze your hand brake lever. If it feelssoft or “squishy,” it could be low on fluidor have a leak — refer to the General Main-tenance section of this Operator’s Manualfor instructions. Don’t use the ATV untilthe brakes are operating normally.

Test the brake lever lock and see if it locksthe hand brake lever into position; thendisengage it to release the brake. Be surethe rear foot brake near the footrest isworking; your brakes could fail during aride if they’re not maintained.

TRV Condition

Check:1. Tire pressure2. Tire surface (tread and sidewalls)

Check:1. Forward2. Neutral3. Reverse

Check:1. Hand brake lever2. Rear foot brake 3. Brake lever lock


B. ThrottleBefore starting the ATV, push the throttlelever several times. The throttle shouldhave a free, smooth range of motion. If itseems to “stick” at any point, refer to theGeneral Maintenance section of thisOperator’s Manual for instructions. Driv-ing your ATV with a sticking throttle canturn your leisurely ride into an unwel-come accident. Don’t drive your ATV ifthe throttle sticks.

3. LIGHTS AND ELECTRICALTurn the hi-beam and lo-beam on and offto make sure they work. At the sametime, verify the taillight and brakelightwork. Also, check the status/warningindicators (reverse, neutral, and HI-LObeam) on the LCD when you start theATV. Don’t drive the ATV unless all sys-tems are working. Check the ignitionswitch and emergency stop switch.

4. OIL AND FUELStart with a full tank of gas before everyride, and while you’re at it, top off the oil.Don’t forget to check for fluid leaks aroundthe ATV. Watch the overheat lamp toensure the engine coolant level is adequate.

5. CHASSIS AND DRIVE TRAINGrass and leaves can gum-up your sus-pension and shocks. Clear and clean thesuspension arms, shock springs, andfenders. Check smoothness by turningthe handlebar full-left and full-right. Ver-ify there is no binding, restrictions, free-play, or looseness in steering compo-nents.

6. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMSInspect your air filter. Look for debris ordamage that may indicate you need toreplace it. A clogged filter can stop anengine. Check your battery terminals forcorrosion. Also, be sure to tighten anyloose parts, nuts, or bolts.

You need to prepare for the unexpected.Emergencies and accidents are traumaticenough, but they’re even worse whenyou’re not prepared for them. At the min-imum during every ATV ride, you shouldhave the following items on board:

• Tools• Water• Identification• First Aid Kit

For rides that are longer in duration anddistance, the following additional itemsare recommended:

• Cellular Phone• Maps/GPS• Emergency Kit with Flashlight and

First Aid and Survival


Tools

Routine maintenance will generally elim-inate the need for emergency repairs.Riding on rough terrain could cause loos-ening of nuts, bolts, and fasteners. Espe-cially on long rides, carrying the righttools can prevent an inconvenience frombecoming a crisis.

Water

Water is so important that you need tocarry it regardless of the duration of yourride. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke cancreep up suddenly and can take you outof commission. If you become dehy-drated, you could find yourself physi-cally unable to safely operate your ATV.

Identification

If something does happen to you, theemergency personnel will want to knowwho you are and whom to contact. It’spossible you may be in no condition togive them that information. Put your I.D.in your pocket before you ride. Withoutit, you’re anonymous.

Cellular Phone

It may be necessary to make an urgentphone call.

Maps/GPS (Global Positioning System)

Maps may be unnecessary when you’refamiliar with the area. But when you’reriding on unfamiliar trails, it’s good toknow where you are, what’s coming up,and how to get back.

Emergency Kit with Flashlight and First Aid Kit

You’ll need several items in your Emer-gency Kit including a flashlight. Thematches will come in handy if you needto start a fire to stay warm. Flares areappropriate for signaling help. A first aidkit is very important if an injury of sometype should happen. A good First Aid Kitshould include bandages, antisepticspray, gauze, tape, etc.

Carry these items on your ATV:1. Bulbs2. Duct tape3. Rope4. Spark plugs5. Spare parts6. Tool Kit

Carry these items:1. Flashlight2. Matches3. Flares4. First Aid Kit5. Money


Active RidingOverview“Active Riding” is the second part of “P.A.S.S.” It involves an understanding of howyour body weight, balance, gravity, and physical forces affect the handling of theATV. Knowing how to shift your weight is necessary to avoid rolling or flipping theATV.

For complete operating instructions, see ATV OPERATION section in this manual.


Sound JudgmentOverviewYou are not invincible. Knowing the first“S” in “P.A.S.S.” stands for “SoundJudgment” means you need to use yours.

The environment you operate an ATV inis often harsh and sometimes dangerousif you don’t take proper precautions.

Weather

You need to consider the weather. It isdangerous to ride your ATV when theweather is bad or potentially bad. Keepabreast with weather forecasts.

Terrain

Always pay close attention to the terrainyou’re on, even if it is familiar to you. Youcan’t assume the landscape you’re used todoesn’t change. Changes to landscape canhappen at nearly any time. Fences can beconstructed and excavations dug in a shortperiod of time. Weather, climate, anddevelopment take their toll.

Night Riding

Riding at night can be very hazardous.Obstacles and other hazards (that are eas-ily identified during daytime) are muchmore difficult to see and avoid. Whennight riding, make sure the lights areproperly adjusted and in good workingorder. Reduce speed; do not over-drivethe headlights. Never travel in an unfa-miliar area or blaze a new trail at night.Always carry a flashlight or flare for sig-naling an emergency.

Paved Surfaces

Avoid whenever possible. The ATV isn’tdesigned for pavement. Its handlingbecomes more difficult on paved sur-faces. If operating on paved surfaces isunavoidable, travel slowly (less than 10MPH) and avoid sudden turns and stops.

Trail Riding

Use sound judgment when trail riding;that means riding on a trail that fits yourability level. If the trail is pretty rugged,standing up on your footrests will make iteasier for you to endure the rough terrain.

Make yourself visible by using head-lights and taillights, and pull completelyoff the trail if you need to stop.

Outsloped trails (trails that slant to allowrain to run off) make trail riding a bitmore challenging.

It also helps to know which trails you canride and who else might be on those sametrails. These are signs currently used in someareas to designate trail types and restrictions.

ATV-0068A

Environment

Trail Signs


People do all kinds of things you can’tpredict or control.

Passenger

Never carry a passenger who cannotplace both feet on the footrests and whocannot securely hold onto the handholds.

You are responsible for the passenger andyou must instruct the passenger on thecorrect procedures for riding.

Riding Companions

Leave a lot of space between you andother riders, especially in dusty and dirtyconditions, because it’ll be difficult to seethe riders in front of you stopping.

Riding with companions on several vehi-cles is not the same as riding one ATVwith a passenger.

Other Vehicles

Depending on where you’re riding, youmight encounter ATV’s, bikes, or motorvehicles on public lands. Respect the pres-ence of cars if you’re crossing roads orriding in public areas and make yourselfbe seen. If you can’t see other vehiclescoming, that means you’re invisible, too.

Hikers

With the renewed interest in hiking,camping, and other outdoor activities,people can show up in remote areaswhere you would never expect them. Fortheir sake, keep your eyes open.

Animals and Nature

Respect the outdoors that you love. Don’tuse your ATV to chase animals or birds.Drive around young trees rather thanover them. Keep clear of streams andditches with standing water.

Tread Lightly and leave it as youfound it.

The last thing you expected was that yourATV would break down in the middle of thefield... it’s usually so reliable that some-times you forget the ATV has its limits.

Maintenance

You have to maintain your ATV. The Gen-eral Maintenance section of this Operator’sManual tells you about taking care of yourATV. If, at any time, abnormal noises,vibrations, or improper functioning of anycomponent of this ATV is detected, DONOT OPERATE THE ATV. Take the ATVto an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer forinspection and adjustment or repair.

Cargo Limitations

Limit the ATV to the load capacity ratingsidentified in the Load Capacity Ratingschart. So if you and your passenger com-bined weigh in at over 500 lb (226 kg),leave some of that extra cargo at home.The combined weight limit, including you,your passenger, your rack cargo, and yourtrailer, is a specified amount, so consult thechart and monitor it carefully.

Extra weight on the ATV will also throwyou off balance if it’s not distributedevenly, side-to-side and front-to-rear.

Cargo has such a huge affect on handlingthat you need to pay a lot of attention toyour speed. Even on really level areas,you should keep it under 10 mph (16kph) if you’ve got a trailer attached.Avoid uneven terrain. Also, consider thatyour braking distance is going to increasewith the more weight you carry.

Those Around You Equipment

Think about these when dealing with cargo:

1. Rack weight limit2. Trailer weight limit3. Weight distribution4. Speed


Load Capacity Ratings Chart

Max Load Capacity - Total weight of opera-tor and passenger, accessory weight, tongueweight, and cargo on the front and rear rack.

Tongue Weight - Weight on trailer tongue.

Towing Capacity - Total weight oftrailer and all cargo in the trailer.

SpeedrackWhen installing Speedrack accessories,make sure to read and carefully followthe instructions provided in each kitincluding all weight restrictions as notedon placards and decals.

NOTE: Use extra caution when operat-ing this ATV with additional loads suchas passenger, accessories, and/or cargo.Handling of the ATV may be adverselyaffected. Reduce speed when addingadditional loads.

A safe, enjoyable ride is dependent onmany personal choices. An ATV, like allmotorized vehicles, can be dangerous tooperate if you choose to ignore safetyprecautions, take unnecessary chances, orride beyond your ability or your vehicle’scapability. Don’t allow the thrill of free-dom or adventure to affect your ability tomake good, safe choices.

Alcohol and Drug Consumption (Operator and/or Passenger)

Alcohol is related to a high percentage ofall hospital admissions due to accidentsin the U.S. It’s extremely dangerous todrink alcoholic beverages and ride.

! WARNINGPOTENTIAL HAZARDOverloading the ATV or carrying or tow-ing cargo improperly.

WHAT CAN HAPPENCould cause changes in handling,which could lead to an accident.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARDNever exceed the stated load capacity.Cargo should be properly distributedand securely attached.Reduce speed when carrying cargo orpulling a trailer. Allow greater distancefor braking.Always follow the instructions in thisOperator’s Manual for carrying cargo orpulling a trailer.

Personal Choices

Substances to avoid when riding:1. Alcohol2. Over-the-counter or prescription drugs3. Illegal/mood altering drugs


Be aware of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Drowsiness andimpaired judgment can be caused by awide variety of medications. The same istrue of allergy, cold, flu, and headachemedications. Your physical size andweight can’t protect you... just one anti-histamine tablet can affect your judgment.

If your sense of adventure persuades youto do illegal drugs when you’re ridingyour ATV, this is a reality check. Some-thing to think about—there can be legalconsequences that will take away all thatfreedom you love. Don’t use alcohol ordrugs before or during your ride.

Your Physical Condition

Your physical condition is critical to safeATV operation. Don’t ride when tiredand consider your health when planninglonger rides.

Reckless Riding

If you are involved in an accident whenyou’re speeding, you have a 25% chanceof landing yourself in the hospital. Thefaster you go, the more likely you are todestroy your head and internal organs,and skip the wheelies, jumps, stunts, andany other showboating.

Laws and Regulations

Any police officer will tell you ignoranceof the law is no defense. Your bestdefense is to check out your local, state,or provincial laws before riding. It’ll alsomake sure you can continue to ride inyour favorite areas. The quickest way tohave a land area closed is by riding overthe regulations.

Group Behavior

People occasionally do crazier and riskierthings in a group than they would con-sider doing by themselves. When you’reriding with others and things start to getout of hand, decide whether you’re will-ing to be injured or see your friendsinjured.

THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL*

The Number of Drinks that Impair Mental and Physical Abilities

1-2 DRINKS

Mental processes such as restraint,awareness, concentration, and judg-ment affected; reaction time slowed;inability to perform complicated tasks.

3-4 DRINKS

Depth perception, glare recovery, eyemovement, and focus affected;decreased judgment and control.

5+ DRINKS

Coordination deteriorates, loss of crit-ical judgment, and impaired memoryand comprehension.

*According to the ATV Safety Institute.

Don’t ride:1. When you’re tired


SupervisionOverviewYou’re responsible for supervising thosewho ride your ATV. Your wisdom is valu-able... it’ll bring them all back safely—your friends, your family, your relatives,and your ATV. It’s crucial you consideryourself a supervisor for all riders of yourATV. Whether you accept responsibilityor not, the truth is you are responsible forothers riding your ATV.

You’re to the last letter in “PASS”...“Supervision.” You’ve just gone throughthe manual, and you’ve seen what’sinvolved. That puts you in a good posi-tion to be confident about what youknow. So now it’s time to use yourknowledge and supervise others who rideyour ATV.

Inexperienced/Untrained Riders

You can’t let people ride your ATV whodon’t know what they’re doing. Unlessthey’ve had over a year of experiencewith riding an all-terrain ATV or taken atraining course, it’s your responsibility tokeep them off your ATV. It can be dan-gerous (especially for under-aged chil-dren)—all the more reason for you to befirm.

Experienced/Trained Riders

If anyone is going to borrow your ATV,you are responsible for their supervision.Before they ride, have them take thetraining course, have them watch thesafety video, have them read the Opera-tor’s Manual, and train them.

TRV’s are a little different from the han-dling to the stability to the controls. Soregardless of how much experience yourfamily members have, they don’t haveexperience with your ATV. Let experi-enced riders get familiar with yourATV—show them the basics before theytake off. You don’t want it on your con-science that someone got hurt becauseyou didn’t tell them how to use yourATV.

Remember that regardless ofexperience, you should never letanyone under the age of 16 oper-ate your ATV.

ATV Operation

Active riding and basic maneuvers arethe foundation of your ride. Withoutbasic skills, it’s impossible to move tothis level — active riding. These are yourbasic maneuvers:

• Mounting the TRV (Operator)• Mounting the TRV (Passenger)• Starting the Engine• Starting a Cold Engine• Shifting• Braking/Stopping• Parking• Dismounting the TRV

Mounting the TRV (Operator)

1. From the left side, grab the left-sidehandlebar, apply the brake, and putyour left foot on the footrest.

2. Grab the right-side handlebar.

3. Swing your leg over the seat and setyour right foot down on the right-side footrest.

4. Get seated in a comfortable position.

5. Always keep your feet planted onthe footrests.

Mounting the TRV (Passenger)

1. After the operator is seated and hasthe brake firmly applied, with yourleft hand, grasp the left shoulder ofthe operator, and with your righthand grasp the backrest; then swingyour leg over the seat and set yourright foot down on the right-sidefootrest.

2. Get seated in a comfortable positionand keep hands firmly on the hand-holds.

3. Always keep your feet planted onthe footrests.

Starting the Engine

Always start with the ATV on a flat, levelsurface. Carbon monoxide poisoning cankill you, so keep your ATV outside whileit’s running. Follow these steps to start itup:

1. Mount the ATV and sit down.

2. Engage the brake lever lock.

3. Turn on the ignition.

4. Shift into neutral.

5. Move the emergency stop switch toRUN.

6. Press the starter button.

7. Let the engine warm up.

Starting a Cold Engine

NOTE: It is very important not totouch or compress the throttle leverduring the starting procedures.

1. Turn off all electrical accessories(hand warmer, lights, etc.); then withthe transmission in the neutral posi-tion, rotate the ignition switch key tothe first position (ON) leaving theheadlights OFF. Note that the N isindicated on the LCD.

2. Press the starter button.

Basic Operating Maneuvers

CAUTIONDo not run the starter motor for morethan eight seconds per startingattempt. The starter motor may over-heat causing severe starter motordamage. Allow 15 seconds betweenstarting attempts to allow the startermotor to cool.

CAUTIONDo not run the starter motor for morethan eight seconds per startingattempt. The starter motor may over-heat causing severe starter motordamage. Allow 15 seconds betweenstarting attempts to allow the startermotor to cool.


NOTE: Do not touch the throttlelever until the engine has run for atleast 3 minutes.

3. If the engine does not start, press thestarter button again for eight seconds.

4. Allow the engine to warm up forapproximately 2-3 minutes or until theATV will accelerate without hesitating.

Shifting

1. To engage any gear position from park,move the shift lever upward to thedesired position: R (reverse), N (neu-tral), H (high range), or L (low range).

EFI012A

2. To engage the P (park), come to acomplete stop; then shift the trans-mission into park.

NOTE: The high range is for nor-mal riding with light loads. The lowrange is for carrying heavy loadsor trailer towing. Compared toHIGH range, the LOW range posi-tion provides slower speed andgreater torque to the wheels.

Braking/Stopping

Always allow plenty of room and time tostop safely. Sometimes quick stops areinevitable, so always be prepared.Whether you’re stopping slowly or stop-ping quickly, do this:

1. Squeeze the brake lever on the lefthandlebar to apply both the front andrear brakes.

2. If your wheels lock, release them fora second; then apply them again.

3. Never “ride” the brake. Even main-taining minimal pressure on thebrake lever will cause the brake padsto drag on the disc and may overheatthe brake fluid.

Parking

Parking involves following the previousrules for braking; then:

1. After the ATV stops, shift into neu-tral.

2. Stop the engine using the enginestop switch.

3. Turn off the ignition.

4. If you have to park on a hill, shift theATV into park; otherwise, try topark only on level surfaces.


Dismounting the TRV

After you’ve followed the procedure forparking, it’s time to dismount:

1. The operator should double checkthat the brake lever lock is engaged.

CAUTIONAlways shift into low range when oper-ating on wet or uneven terrain, whentowing or pushing heavy loads, andwhen using a plow. Failure to followthis caution may result in premature V-belt failure or in damage to relateddrive system components.

! WARNINGExcessive repetitive use of thehydraulic brake for high speed stopswill cause overheating of the brakefluid and premature brake pad wearwhich will result in an unexpectedloss of brakes.

! WARNINGUse only Arctic Cat approved brakefluid. Never substitute or mix differ-ent types or grades of brake fluid.Brake loss can result. Check brakefluid level and pad wear before eachuse. Brake loss can result in severeinjury or even death.


2. The passenger should grasp the leftshoulder of the operator with the righthand and with the left hand grasp theleft-side handhold; then swing theright leg over the seat and step to theground on the left side of the ATV.

3. The operator should swing the rightleg over to the left side of the seat.

4. The operator should step to theground on the left side of the ATV.

Active riding involves moving yourbody. You and your passenger must learnto lean and shift body weight into turns tomaintain control.

Safe riding techniques include:

• Riding• Leaning, Weight Shift, and Balance• Wide Turns• Sharp Turns• K-Turns• Riding Uphill• Riding Downhill• Sidehilling/Traversing• Swerving• Crossing Obstacles

Riding

Once the engine’s warm, the ATV isready to go.

ATV-0012

1. Keep your feet on the footrests andboth hands on the handlebar.

2. Hold the brake lever, and release thebrake lever lock.

3. Shift into gear.

4. Release the brake slowly and applythe throttle.

Leaning, Weight Shift, and Balance

When you turn, the trick is to move for-ward and slide over to the side of the seatthat’s on the inside of the turn. Supportyour body weight on the outside footrest.At the same time, lean your body and thepassenger body to the inside of the turn.Pay attention to the handling—if you feelthe tires coming off the ground, reducespeed, shift more of your body weightand passenger’s body weight to the sidethat’s lifting, and make the turn wider ifpossible.

ATV-0013

ATV-0024

ATV-0025

Handling the TRV (Active Riding Techniques)


Wide Turns

Many accidents happen during turns. Ifyou don’t understand turning techniques,it’s easy for the ATV to get away fromyou by losing traction, plowing, or tip-ping. Use this method for wide turns:

ATV-0046

ATV-0045

ATV-0044

1. Ease off the throttle as you approachthe turn to slow down.

2. Use the principles of leaning, weightshifting, and balancing—shift yourbody weight and passenger’s bodyweight to the inside of the turn.

3. Gradually increase your speed asyou come out of the turn.

Sharp Turns

After mastering wide turns, practice theadvanced skill of sharp turns.

ATV-202

1. Ease off the throttle as you approachthe turn to slow down.

2. Use the principles of leaning, weightshifting, and balancing—shift yourbody weight to the inside of the turn.

3. You might have to lean into the turnmore than you do in a wide turn.

4. If shifting your weight and balancearen’t enough to keep the tires on theground, straighten out the handlebaras much as you can.

5. Gradually increase your speed asyou come out of the turn.

34

K-Turns

Use K-turns if you accidentally stall whileriding uphill; you need to take action beforethe ATV rolls backward down the hill.

ATV-204

1. Stop where you are, apply thebrakes, and shift to neutral.

2. Shut off the engine.

3. Keep your body weight shifted forward.

4. Ask the passenger to dismount.

5. Get off the ATV on the uphill side.

6. If you’re to the left of the ATV, turnthe handlebar all the way left.

7. Partially release the brake, butlightly hold the brake lever.

8. Let the ATV roll to your right sideuntil it faces slightly downhill.

9. Reapply the brakes.

10. Get back on the ATV from the uphillside, have your passenger mount theATV from the uphill side, and keepyour body weight and the passen-ger’s body weight shifted uphillwhen you sit down.

11. Start the engine and follow themethod for riding downhill.

Riding Uphill

Many accidents happen while riding onhills and as a result of the ATV rolling orflipping. So, obviously, use extreme cautionand follow this method for riding uphill.

ATV-207

1. Accelerate before you start climb-ing; then maintain a steady pace.

2. Both the operator and passenger shouldlean as far forward as possible. Forsteeper hills, the operator should comeoff the seat to stand and lean forward.


3. If you lose speed, release the throttle(so your front tires don’t lift), OR

4. If that doesn’t work and you stillhave forward motion and the terrainpermits, do a U-turn, go back down,and try climbing again, OR

5. If you have lost all forward motion,follow the K-turn procedure.

Never Operate Up Or Down Hills Steeper Than 25°

Riding Downhill

Success in riding downhill depends onhow well you know your brakes—take iteasy on them, or you could flip over.

1. Shift your body weight and passen-ger’s body weight as far back on theseat as possible.

2. Keep it in a gear; stay out of neutral.

3. Lightly apply the brake and ease upon the throttle.

ATV-208

Sidehilling/Traversing

Sidehilling is considered an advanced skill;it’s really tricky and unpredictable. So,whether your skills are advanced or not, tryto avoid this kind of riding. If you’re in asituation where you absolutely have tosidehill, follow this method:

ATV-0017

ATV-0028

ATV-0029

1. Keep your speed low and consistent.

2. Shift all your body weight and pas-senger’s body weight to the uphillside of the seat; also, support weighton the uphill footrest.

3. Steer like you’re driving into the hill.

4. If the ATV feels like it’s tipping,turn the handlebar downhill. If that’snot possible because of the terrain orother conditions or if it just doesn’twork, stop and get off. Have the pas-senger dismount on the uphill sidefirst; then you should dismount onthe uphill side.

36

Swerving

Swerving is usually an emergency reac-tion to avoid an obstacle.

ATV-0043

ATV-0042

ATV-0041

1. Ease off the throttle as you approachthe obstacle.

2. Turn the handlebar. At the sametime, shift weight and balance asyou swerve. Use the principles ofleaning, weight shifting, and balanc-ing—shift your body weight and thepassenger’s body weight to theinside of the turn.

3. Keep your hand off the brake untilthe emergency is over and you’reback in control.

Crossing Obstacles

Crossing obstacles is risky; avoid it ifpossible. Riding over logs, rocks, andruts means combining all the active rid-ing skills into one big motion. Your ATVwill respond differently for differentobstacles (logs, ruts, etc.), but these aregeneral guidelines for overcoming two-track (both tires contacting the obstacle atthe same time) obstacles:

ATV-0016

ATV-0026

ATV-0027

1. Stop the ATV.

2. Have the passenger dismount.

3. Keep your speed way down; lessthan 5 mph.

4. Approach the obstacle head-on.

5. Come up off the seat.

6. Keep your weight on the footrests.

7. Apply a little throttle when the fronttires make contact with the obstacle.

37

8. Lean forward and release the throttlewhen the front tires clear the obsta-cle.

9. Keep your body loose to absorb anyshock.

10. If the ATV starts tipping, shift yourbody weight to keep it in balance.

To clear a single-track (only one tire con-tacts) obstacle, follow the same rulesexcept:

1. Use the ATV’s momentum to clearthe obstacle.

2. Don’t pull up on the handlebar.

3. Don’t apply the throttle.

Driving an ATV and a car have somesimilarities; however, there are alwaysexceptions to the rules. Here are a fewsituations that require special attention:

• Reversing• Skidding or Sliding• Parking on a Hill• Stalling on a Hill• Crossing Water• Crossing Roads• Stopping the ATV• Stopping the Engine

Reversing

It’s tough to see things behind you.

1. Go slowly. It’s hard to see behindyou.

2. Keep your handlebar straight.

3. Backing down hills is a bad idea; doa U-turn or K-turn instead to turnaround.

Skidding or Sliding

If you lose control after hitting sand, ice,mud, or water:

1. Turn your handlebar into the direc-tion of the slide.

2. Keep your hand off the brakes untilyou’re out of the skid.

3. Shift your weight forward.

Sometimes your ATV may not respondand goes straight ahead instead of lettingyou turn. Here’s how to handle it:

1. Slow down.

2. Move forward on the seat.

3. Lean to inside of turn and have yourpassenger lean to the inside of theturn.

4. Turn handlebar.

Parking on a Hill

This shouldn’t be necessary, but if it is:

1. Keep it in gear.


3. Find something to block the reartires.

Stalling on a Hill

If you use the right method for ridinguphill, this shouldn’t happen. But if youhave a problem, do this:

1. If the ATV hasn’t started rollingbackwards yet, follow the proce-dure for the K-turn, OR

2. If the ATV is already rolling back-ward, both the operator and the pas-senger should lean as far forward aspossible and the operator can bestanding up on the footrests.

3. Nice and easy, apply the hand brakelever.

4. When you come to a stop, follow theprocedure for the K-turn.

Crossing Water

This ATV can only handle water up to itsfootrests. Any more than that and yourisk engine damage and/or personalinjury. Stay away from fast moving riv-ers. Tires can be buoyant, so if the wateris too deep, you might find the ATV sud-denly afloat.

Tips

! WARNINGNever activate the override while thethrottle is open as a loss of controlmay result. Use caution when usingthe override switch as reverse speedcan greatly increase.

38

1. Physically check the depth and cur-rent of the water, especially if youcan’t see the bottom. You’re alsochecking for boulders, logs, or anyother hidden obstacles.

2. Keep ATV speed slow.

3. Make sure you have a way out onthe other side of the water.

4. If you get stuck in the sludge ormud, try rocking the ATV from sideto side.

5. Once you’ve cleared the water,briefly apply the brakes to make surethey work.

Crossing Roads

Crossing roads on your ATV is also a badidea, so avoid it. If you can’t:

1. Stop completely on the shoulder ofthe road.

2. Check both directions for traffic.

3. Crossing near a blind corner or inter-section is dangerous; don’t do it.

4. Drive straight across to the oppositeshoulder.

5. Take into account that your ATVcould stall while crossing; giveyourself and your passenger enoughtime to get off the road.

6. You have to assume that oncomingcars don’t see you, and if they do,they won’t be able to predict youractions.

7. It’s illegal to cross public roads insome places. Know your local laws.

Stopping The ATV

To stop the ATV, first release the throttlelever. Next, apply the brakes.

Stopping The Engine

To stop the engine, turn the ignitionswitch key to the OFF position or set theemergency stop switch to the OFF posi-tion.

2. Turn the throttle limiter screw clock-wise to decrease engine RPM maxi-mum or counterclockwise toincrease engine RPM maximum.

3. Tighten the jam nut securely.

NOTE: This ATV is equipped withan RPM limiter that retards ignitiontiming when maximum RPM isapproached. When the RPM lim-iter is activated, it could be misin-terpreted as a high-speed misfire.

! WARNINGNever activate the override switchwhile the throttle is open as a loss ofcontrol may result. Use caution whenusing the override switch as reversespeed can greatly increase.

42

Power Steering This ATV was produced with an ElectronicPower Steering (EPS) system to reducesteering effort and driver fatigue over abroad range of operating conditions.

The EPS system engages when the igni-tion switch is turned to the ON positionand disengages after approximately fiveminutes (to conserve battery power) ifthe engine is not running.

This system is entirely maintenance-free:no adjustment or servicing is required.There are no fluids to check or change,and the EPS system is entirely self-con-tained and sealed to protect it from theelements.

The EPS system is battery system pow-ered; therefore, the battery must be ingood condition and fully charged. Powerdelivery and overload protection is pro-vided by an EPS relay and 30-amp fuselocated under the passenger seat in thePower Distribution Module (PDM).

The system is self-monitored and willdisplay a malfunction code on the LCDgauge/speedometer should an EPS sys-tem control circuit problem occur. Do notoperate the ATV with an EPS malfunc-tion code displayed.

NOTE: Turn the key switch to theOFF position then back to the ONposition to reset the malfunctioncode. If the code continues to bedisplayed, take your ATV to anauthorized Arctic Cat Dealer forEPS system servicing beforeresuming operation.

Safety Flag BracketA bracket is provided for mounting a flagat the rear of the ATV.

Rack LoadingThe racks are designed to carry specifiedload capacity. Always refer to the LoadCapacity Ratings chart for proper capacity.

Trailering and Towing

The TRV is equipped with a frame-mounted receiver for a standard 5.1 cm (2in.) receiver hitch. The standard receiverhitch must be purchased separately.

738-424A

When loading a trailer properly, twoitems are critical: Gross Trailer Weight(the weight of the trailer plus cargo) andTrailer Tongue Weight.

Trailer Tongue Weight is the downwardforce exerted on the hitch by the trailer cou-pler when the trailer is fully loaded and thecoupler is at its normal towing height.

Always maintain a slow speed whentrailering and towing and avoid suddenaccelerations, quick maneuvers, and sud-den stops. Braking distance will beaffected when towing a trailer. Whentowing a trailer, always maintain slowspeed and allow more stopping distancethan when not towing a trailer.

! WARNINGMake sure the seat is secure beforemounting the ATV. Severe personalinjury may result if the seat is notproperly secured.

! WARNINGMake sure the load on the rack willnot interfere with the controls orobstruct the view of the operator.Also, make sure the load is evenlydistributed, properly secured, andwill not shift while operating the ATV.

! WARNINGNever use the front rack or rear backrestsupport as towing or trailering points.

! WARNINGMake sure that the load in the traileris properly secured and will not shiftwhile moving. Also, do not overloadthe trailer.

! WARNINGNever exceed any of the recom-mended weight restrictions.

46

TransportingWhen transporting the ATV, the ATVmust be in its normal operating position(on all four wheels) and the following pro-cedure must be used.

1. Engage the brake lever lock andplace the transmission in gear.

2. Secure the ATV with load ratedhold-down straps.

NOTE: Suitable hold-down strapsare available from your Arctic CatATV dealer. Ordinary rope is not rec-ommended because it can stretchunder load.

Gasoline-Oil-LubricantFilling Gas Tank

Since gasoline expands as its temperatureincreases, the gas tank must be filled toits rated capacity only. Expansion roommust be maintained in the tank particu-larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-line and then moved to a warm area.

Allow the engine to cool before filling thegas tank. Care must be taken not to over-fill the tank. If overfilled, gas may leakonto the engine creating a fire hazard.

Tighten the gas tank cap securely afterfilling the tank.

Recommended Gasoline

The recommended gasoline to use is 87minimum octane regular unleaded. Inmany areas, oxygenates are added to thegasoline. Oxygenated gasolines contain-ing up to 10% ethanol or 5% methane areacceptable gasolines.

When using ethanol blended gasoline, it isnot necessary to add a gasoline antifreezesince ethanol will prevent the accumula-tion of moisture in the fuel system.

! WARNINGRiding an ATV without extra cautionwhen towing a trailer will be hazard-ous. Trailer towing can affect the han-dling and braking of the ATV. Nevertow a trailer without a rigid tongue andnever exceed 10 MPH. Avoid suddenaccelerations and stopping of the ATV.Do not make quick maneuvers. Avoiduneven surfaces and do not tow onhills.

! WARNINGNever tow people in or on any deviceexcept when towing a disabled vehi-cle with operable brakes and steeringor on a trailer designed for passen-gers that has a rigid tow bar.

CAUTIONFailure to engage the brake lever lockand place the transmission in gearcould result in the ATV rolling off thetrailer in the event of tie-down strapfailure.

CAUTIONWhen using hold-down straps, caremust be taken not to damage the ATV.

! WARNINGAlways fill the gas tank in a well-venti-lated area. Never add gasoline to thegas tank near any open flames or withthe engine running or hot. DO NOTSMOKE while filling the gas tank.

! WARNINGDo not overfill the gas tank.

CAUTIONDo not use white gas. Only Arctic Catapproved gasoline additives shouldbe used.

47

Recommended Engine/Transmission Oil

The recommended oil to use is Arctic CatACX All Weather synthetic engine oil,which has been specifically formulatedfor use in this Arctic Cat engine. AlthoughArctic Cat ACX All Weather syntheticengine oil is the only oil recommended foruse in this engine, use of any API certifiedSM 0W-40 oil is acceptable.

OILCHARTJ

Recommended Front Differential/Rear Drive Lubricant

NOTE: Arctic Cat recommendsthe use of genuine Arctic Cat lubri-cants.

The recommended lubricant (front differ-ential and rear drive) is SAE approved80W-90 hypoid. This lubricant meets allof the lubrication requirements of theATV.

Engine Break-In After the completion of the break-inperiod, the engine oil and oil filter shouldbe changed. Other maintenance afterbreak-in should include checking of allprescribed adjustments and tightening ofall fasteners. At the discretion andexpense of the owner/operator, the ATVmay be taken to an authorized Arctic CatATV dealer for this initial service.

New vehicles and renewed enginesrequire a “break-in” period. The firstmonth is most critical to the life of thisATV. Proper operation during this break-in period will help assure maximum lifeand performance from the ATV.

During the first 10 hours of operation,always use less than ½ throttle. Varyingthe engine RPM during the break-inperiod allows the components to “load”(aiding the engine/transmission compo-nent mating process) and then “unload”(allowing components to cool). Althoughit is essential to place some stress on theengine components during break-in, careshould be taken not to overload theengine too often. Do not pull a trailerduring the break-in period.

When the engine starts, allow it to warmup properly. Idle the engine several min-utes until the engine has reached normaloperating temperature. Do not idle theengine for excessively long periods oftime.

CAUTIONAny oil used in place of the recom-mended oil could cause seriousengine damage. Do not use oilswhich contain graphite or molybde-num additives. These oils canadversely affect clutch operation.Also, not recommended are racing,vegetable, non-detergent, and castor-based oils.

CAUTIONAny lubricant used in place of therecommended lubricant could causeserious front differential/rear drivedamage.

48

Burnishing Brake PadsBrake pads must be burnished to achievefull braking effectiveness. Braking dis-tance will be extended until brake padsare properly burnished.

To properly burnish the brakes, use fol-lowing procedure:

1. Choose an area sufficiently large tosafely accelerate to 30 mph andbrake to a stop.

2. Accelerate to 30 mph; then com-press brake lever to decelerate to 0-5mph.

3. Repeat procedure twenty times untilbrakes are burnished.

! WARNINGDo not attempt sudden stops or putyourself into a situation in which a sud-den stop will be required until the brakepads are properly burnished.

Liquid Cooling System NOTE: Debris in front of the engineor packed between the cooling fins ofthe radiator can reduce cooling capa-bility. Using a garden hose, wash theradiator to remove any debris pre-venting air flow.

The cooling system should be inspecteddaily for leakage and damage. If leakageor damage is detected, take the ATV to anauthorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for ser-vice. Also, the coolant level should bechecked periodically.

NOTE: High engine RPM, low vehi-cle speed, or heavy load can raiseengine temperature. Decreasingengine RPM, reducing load, andselecting an appropriate transmis-sion gear can lower the temperature.

When filling the cooling system, use acoolant/water mixture which will satisfythe coldest anticipated weather condi-tions of the area in accordance with thecoolant manufacturer’s recommenda-tions. While the cooling system is beingfilled, air pockets may develop; there-fore, run the engine for five minutes afterthe initial fill, shut the engine off, andthen fill the cooling system to the bottomof the stand pipe in the radiator neck.

Checking/Filling

1. Remove the two reinstallable rivetsfrom the front of the radiator accesspanel.

CF134A

2. Lift the front of the access panel;then slide the panel forward to dis-engage the two rear tabs.

CF133A

3. Move the panel rearward until freeof the rack.

4. Carefully rotate the radiator capcounterclockwise to release pres-sure; then remove the cap.

CF142A

5. Add coolant as necessary; then installthe radiator cap and access panel.

NOTE: Use a good quality, biode-gradable glycol-based, automo-tive-type antifreeze.

CAUTIONArctic Cat does not recommendusing a pressure washer to clean theradiator core. The pressure may bendor flatten the fins causing restrictedair flow, and electrical componentson the radiator could be damaged.Use only a garden hose with spraynozzle at normal tap pressure.

CAUTIONContinued operation of the ATV withhigh engine temperature may resultin engine damage or premature wear.

51

Shock AbsorbersEach shock absorber should be visiblychecked weekly for excessive fluid leak-age (some seal leakage may be observedbut it does not indicate the shock is inneed of replacement), cracks or breaks inthe lower case, or a bent shock rod. If anyone of these conditions is detected,replacement is necessary.

NOTE: When the ATV is oper-ated in extremely cold weather(-23°C/-10°F or colder), a smallamount of leakage may be pres-ent. Unless the leakage isexcessive, replacement is notnecessary.

The shock absorber has a spring forceadjustment sleeve with five adjustmentpositions to allow the spring to beadjusted for different riding and loadingconditions. If the spring action is too softor too stiff, adjust it according to the chart.

CD453

NOTE: Before attempting toadjust suspension, clean dirt anddebris from the sleeve and removeload from the suspension; thenuse the spanner wrench to adjustthe sleeve to the desired position.

NOTE: It is recommended that allATV weight be taken off the sus-pension prior to adjusting shockabsorber sleeves.

General LubricationCables

None of the cables require lubrication;however, it is advisable to lubricate theends of the cables periodically with agood cable lubricant.

Engine/Transmission Oil and Filter

Change the engine oil and oil filter at thescheduled intervals. The engine shouldalways be warm when the oil is changedso the oil will drain easily and completely.

1. Park the ATV on level ground.

2. Remove the oil level stick/fillerplug. Be careful not to allow con-taminates to enter the opening.

CF109Q

CAUTIONAfter operating the ATV for the initial5-10 minutes, stop the engine, allowthe engine to cool down, and checkthe coolant level. Add coolant as nec-essary.
