Shifting the TransmissionThis vehicle is equipped with a constant variable transmission (CVT) coupled to a dual-range transmission with reverse and park. To shift the transmission, follow these steps

NOTE: The CVT is fully automaticand shifts as a function of engineRPM.

1. To select high range from park, movethe shift lever forward throughreverse and neutral until the letter“H” is displayed on the gauge.

2. To select low range from high range,move the shift lever forward oneposition until the letter “L” is dis-played on the gauge.

NOTE: The high range is for nor-mal driving with light loads. The lowrange is for carrying heavy loads.Compared to HIGH range, the LOWrange position provides slowerspeed and greater torque to thewheels.

3. To select reverse gear from park,move the shift lever forward oneposition until the letter “R” is dis-played on the gauge.

4. To select neutral from park, move thegear shift forward two positions untilthe letter “N” is displayed on thegauge.

5. To select park, move the shift levercompletely rearward until (P) illumi-nates on the gauge and (P) appears inthe gear position indicator on thegauge.

! WARNINGFalling from a moving vehicle couldresult in serious injury or death.Always fasten your seat belt securelyand ensure the passenger(s) seat beltis properly and securely fastenedprior to operating or riding in thisvehicle.

CAUTIONIncreasing engine RPM above idlewhile in Park will cause belt damage.

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.

CAUTIONAlways come to a complete stopbefore attempting to shift from onerange to the other or into reverse orpark. Always shift on level ground orapply the brakes.

CAUTIONAlways shift into low range whenoperating on wet or uneven terrain orwhen towing or pushing heavy loads.Failure to follow this caution mayresult in premature drive belt failureor in damage to related drive systemcomponents.

NOTE: See the chart below foroperating guidelines for vehiclesequipped with the “RapidResponse” clutch system.

Situation Operator GuidelineTransmission in park Do not increase engine RPM above idle while in Park

as the clutch will engage and cause possible belt dam-age.

Engine/belt insufficiently warmed up (including low temperatures)

Before operating, place the transmission in Neutral (keep brake applied) and vary engine RPM several times. Allow the engine to warm up for a minimum of two minutes. Operate under 30 MPH (48 km/h) for the first two miles or the first five miles when temperature is below freezing.

New drive belt Follow the drive belt break-in procedure on the back of this page.

Initial clutch engagement for operat-ing the vehicle

Carefully employ quick, deliberate throttle application to engage the clutch. WARNING: Excessive throttle may cause loss of vehicle control.

Operating at low speed Use low range whenever operating at low speed.Operating on an incline Use low range whenever operating in an incline posi-

tion.Loading onto a pickup or trailer Use low range whenever loading vehicle.Hauling heavy cargo/towing or push-ing

Use low range whenever hauling/towing/pushing.

Operating in mud, snow, sand, or other loose or soft terrain

Use low range whenever operating in loose or soft ter-rain.

Stuck while operating Use low range. Carefully employ quick, deliberate throt-tle application to engage the clutch. WARNING: Excessive throttle may cause loss of vehicle con-trol.

Operating in rough terrain or over obstacles

Use low range whenever operating in rough terrain or over obstacles.

Water in CVT housing Drain CVT housing. Before operating, place the trans-mission in Neutral (keep brake applied) and vary engine RPM several times.

Drive belt failure Remove drive belt and clean any debris from the CVT housing. Install new Arctic Cat recommended drive belt.

Vehicle vibrates at initial throttle appli-cation when in gear

Slowly apply throttle from 0-5 mph on a flat surface. If vehicle vibrates, check drive belt and replace if neces-sary.

Incorrect drive belt Use only Arctic Cat recommended drive belt.Clutch malfunction Check with authorized Arctic Cat ROV dealer.

23

Vehicle Operation Braking/StoppingAlways allow plenty of room and time tostop smoothly. Sometimes quick stopsare inevitable, so always be prepared.Whether you’re stopping slowly or stop-ping quickly, do this:

1. Release the accelerator; then press thefoot brake pedal to apply the brake.

2. If the wheels lock, release them for asecond; then apply them again. Onsurfaces such as ice, mud, or loosegravel, pump the brake pedal rapidly.

3. Never “ride” the brake. Even maintain-ing minimal pressure on the brake pedalwill cause the brake pads to drag on thedisc and may overheat the brake fluid.

Parking

Parking involves following the previousrules for braking; then:

1. After the vehicle stops, shift intopark; then turn off the ignition.

2. If you have to park on a hill, block thewheels on the downhill side.

Basic TurnsSteering effort is at its lowest in two-wheeldrive (2WD). Greater effort is neededwhen in four-wheel drive (4WD). Thegreatest effort is needed when in four-wheel drive and the differential is locked.Never exceed 10 mph (16 kph) with thelock control in the LOCK position.

Slow down before entering a turn. Thebasic turning technique is to drive at lowspeed and gradually adjust the amount ofsteering to suit the driving surface. Donot make sudden sharp turns on any sur-face. Refer to the sub-sections DrivingUphill, Driving Downhill, CrossingObstacles, Driving in Reverse, Skiddingor Sliding, Crossing Water, or CrossingRoads for more information.

If your vehicle ever skids sideways duringa turn, steer in the direction of the skid.Also, avoid hard braking or acceleratinguntil you have regained directional control.

Driving UphillAlways drive straight up the hill andalways avoid hills steeper than 15°.

1. Keep both hands on the wheel.

2. Prior to starting the climb, shift intolow range, select four-wheel drive fortraction, and gradually press the accel-erator; then maintain a constant speed.

3. If the vehicle stalls on a hill, press thefoot brake pedal to apply the brake,shift into reverse, and slowly backdown the hill. Do not attempt to turnaround on a hill.

! 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 seriousinjury or death.

! WARNINGUse care in turns - turning the steeringwheel too far or too fast can result inloss of control or a rollover. Excessivespeed, driving aggressively, or makingabrupt maneuvers, even on flat, openareas, can cause loss of control, tipping,or rollover. Uneven terrain, rough terrain,soft surfaces, slippery surfaces, andpaved surfaces can also cause a loss ofcontrol or rollover in a turn. On loose orsoft surfaces, allow yourself more timeand distance to turn and slow down.

! WARNINGDo not attempt to turn around on a hill.

! WARNINGDriving up hills improperly can causeloss of control of the vehicle resultingin serious injury or death. Use extremecare when driving in hilly terrain.

24

Vehicle OperationNEVER OPERATE UP OR DOWN HILLS STEEPER THAN 15°

Driving DownhillAlways drive straight down the hill andalways avoid hills steeper than 15°.

1. Keep both hands on the wheel.

2. Prior to descending the hill, shift intolow range to allow maximum enginebraking. Do not use four-wheel drivewhen descending a hill. Engine brak-ing can cause the front wheels to slidereducing steering control.

NOTE: Use minimum braking (asnecessary) to maintain a slow speed.

Crossing ObstaclesCrossing obstacles can be hazardous.There is always the possibility of thevehicle tipping. If you cannot go aroundan obstacle, follow these guidelines:

1. Stop the vehicle and set the parkingbrake. Go out to inspect the obstaclethoroughly from both your approachside and the exit side. If you believeyou can cross the obstacle safely,select four-wheel drive (4WD) andshift into low range.

NOTE: Selecting the LOCK posi-tion on the differential lock controlmay be beneficial; however, steer-ing effort will be greatly increased.

2. Approach the obstacle as close aspossible to 90° to minimize vehicletipping.

3. Keep speed slow enough to maintaincontrol but fast enough to maintainmomentum.

4. Use only enough power to cross theobstacle but still give yourself plentyof time to react to changes in condi-tions. Crawl over the obstacle.

NOTE: If there is any questionabout your ability to cross theobstacle safely, you should turnaround if the ground is flat and youhave room or back up until you finda less difficult path.

Driving in ReverseWhen operating in reverse, avoid sharpturns and backing down a hill. Whenusing reverse, follow these guidelines:

1. Back up slowly. It’s hard to seebehind you.

NOTE: Avoid sudden brakingwhile backing up.

2. If possible, it is advisable to havesomeone “spotting” for you whilebacking up.

3. If you are unsure of what is behindthe vehicle, place the transmission inpark and get out and inspect the areabehind.

Skidding or SlidingIf you lose control after hitting sand, ice,mud, or water, follow these guidelines:

1. Turn the steering wheel into the direc-tion of the slide.

! WARNINGDo not attempt to turn around on a hill.

! WARNINGDriving down hills improperly cancause loss of control of the vehicleresulting in serious injury or death.Never drive downhill at a high rate ofspeed. Use extreme care when driv-ing in hilly terrain.

! WARNINGStriking hidden obstacles can causeserious injury or death. Reducespeed and proceed with care in unfa-miliar terrain.

25

Vehicle Operation2. Keep your foot off the brake until

you’re out of the skid.

3. Stop and shift into four-wheel drive.

Crossing WaterThis vehicle can only operate in water upto its floorboard. Stay away from fastmoving rivers. This vehicle’s tires can bebuoyant. In deep water, the vehicle maylose traction due to floating.

1. Physically check the depth and cur-rent of the water, especially if youcan’t see the bottom. Also, check forboulders, logs, or any other hiddenobstacles.

2. Keep speed slow while maintainingmomentum.

3. Make sure you have a way out on theother side of the water.

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

NOTE: Light pedal pressure orpumping the brakes for a short dis-tance will aid in drying the brakes.

Crossing RoadsIt may be necessary to cross a road orhighway. If so, note the following guide-lines.

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; avoid it if at allpossible.

4. Drive straight across to the oppositeshoulder.

5. Take into account that this vehiclecould stall while crossing; give your-self enough time 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.

Cold Weather Driving NOTE: Check that all control leversand the pedals move freely. Make surethe floorboard is free of ice and snow.

1. With the transmission in neutral, movethe vehicle forward and backward tocheck that the wheels roll freely. If thevehicle will not roll, the tires may befrozen to the ground or the brake padsmay be frozen to the discs.

2. If the tires are frozen to the ground, pourwarm water around them to melt the ice.

3. If the brakes are frozen, use a suitableheating device to thaw out the brakes.

NOTE: After the brakes thaw, drythem by applying them severaltimes while riding slowly.

NOTE: After riding through water,mud, snow, or slush, it is importantto dry both brake systems beforeparking the vehicle.

! WARNINGFor your personal safety, it is veryimportant to wear the type andamount of cold-weather clothingaccording to the coldest anticipatedtemperatures.

CAUTIONBefore riding, manually move thevehicle forward and backward tomake certain that all wheels rollfreely.

CAUTIONDo not attempt to free frozen brakesby pouring warm water on the brakepads and housings.

! WARNINGGo slowly and be extra careful whenriding on snow-covered or ice-cov-ered terrain. Always be alert tochanging terrain conditions whenoperating the vehicle.

26

Vehicle Operation4. Practice driving in an open snow-cov-

ered or ice-covered area at slowspeeds before driving on snow-cov-ered or ice-covered trails.

5. Learn how the vehicle responds tosteering and braking on the type ofterrain to be encountered on the ride.

! WARNINGDo not operate this vehicle on a fro-zen body of water. The vehicle couldbreak through the ice causing seri-ous injury or death.

Power Steering This vehicle was produced with an Elec-tronic Power Steering (EPS) system toreduce steering effort and driver fatigueover a broad 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, andthe EPS system is entirely self-containedand sealed to protect it from the elements.

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 vehicle 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 be dis-played, take your vehicle to an autho-rized Arctic Cat Dealer for EPS systemservicing before resuming operation.

Gasoline-Oil-LubricantRecommended GasolineThe recommended gasoline to use in thisvehicle is 87 (Wildcat/Wildcat 4) or 91(Wildcat X) minimum octane regularunleaded. In many areas, oxygenates areadded to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-lines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5%methane are acceptable 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.

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

NOTE: If the vehicle will be operatedunder severe conditions (heavy pull-ing or loading, extremely high ambi-ent air temperatures, or extendedhigh-speed operation), Arctic Cat rec-ommends installing an engine oilcooler kit if not so equipped. For addi-tional information, see your localauthorized Arctic Cat dealer.

Recommended Front Differential/Rear Drive/Differential LubricantNOTE: Arctic Cat recommends theuse of genuine Arctic Cat lubricants.

The recommended front differential/reardrive lubricant is SAE approved 80W-90hypoid. This lubricant meets all of thelubrication requirements of this vehicle.

Filling 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.

ATV0049D

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

CAUTIONOn the Wildcat/Wildcat 4, any oil used inplace of the recommended oil couldcause serious engine damage. Do notuse oils which contain graphite ormolybdenum 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.

! 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.

35

Tighten the gas tank cap securely afterfilling the tank.

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 vehi-cle may be taken to an authorized ArcticCat dealer for this initial service.

New vehicles and engines require a “break-in” period. The first month is most critical tothe life of this vehicle. Proper operation dur-ing this break-in period will help assure max-imum life and performance from this vehicle.

During the first 10 hours of operation,always use less than ½ throttle. Varying theengine RPM during the break-in periodallows the components to “load” (aiding theengine/transmission component matingprocess) and then “unload” (allowing com-ponents to cool). Although it is essential toplace some stress on the engine compo-nents during break-in, care should be takennot to overload the engine too often. Do notpull a trailer during the break-in period.

When the engine starts, allow it to warm upproperly. Idle the engine several minutesuntil the engine has reached normal operat-ing temperature. Do not idle the engine forexcessively long periods of time.

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 and tobrake to a stop.

2. Accelerate to 30 mph; then pressbrake pedal to decelerate to 0-5 mph.

3. Repeat procedure twenty times.

Suspension/Axle CV Joint Break-InIt is important during the first ten hoursof operation to operate the vehicle wherethe suspension is flexing for proper breakin of axle and suspension components.Avoid high speed operation on flat sur-faces or roads.

Drive Belt Break-InDrive belts require a break-in period ofapproximately 25 miles. Drive the vehi-cle for 25 miles at 3/4 throttle or less. Donot exceed 40 MPH during the break-inprocess. This will allow the drive belt togain its optimum flexibility and willextend drive belt life.

! WARNINGDo not over-flow gasoline when fillingthe gas tank. A fire hazard couldmaterialize. Always allow the engineto cool before filling the gas tank.

! WARNINGDo not overfill the gas tank.
