The first 10 hours or miles are most critical to the life of this ATV. Proper operation during this break-in period will help assure maximum life and performance from the ATV.

Although it is essential to place some stress on the engine components during break-in, care should be taken not to overload the engine too often. Do not pull a trailer or carry heavy loads during the hour break-in period. When the engine starts, allow it to warm up prop- erly.

Idle the engine several minutes until the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Do not idle the engine for excessively long periods of time. During the break-in period or whenever the brake pads are replaced , the hydraulic brake pads must be burnished. Slow disc-speed hydraulic brakes must be properly burnished in order to achieve maximum stopping power. NOTE: Do not be reluctant to heat up the brake pads during the burnishing procedure.

After the completion of the break-in period, the engine oil and oil filter should be changed. Other maintenance after break-in should include checking of all prescribed adjustments and tightening of all fasteners. In many areas, oxygenates either ethanol or MTBE are added to the gasoline.

When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not nec- essary to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the accumulation of moisture in the fuel sys- tem.

The recommended engine oil viscosity is SAE 5W Ambient temperature should determine the correct weight of oil. See the following viscosity chart for details.

Braking distance will be extended until brake pads are properly bur- nished. Only Arctic Cat approved gas- oline additives should be used. Do not use oils which contain graphite or molybdenum additives. These oils can adversely affect clutch operation.

Also, not recommended are racing, vegetable, non-detergent, and castor-based oils. This lubricant meets all of the lubrication requirements of the Arctic Cat ATV front differentials and rear drives.

Expansion room must be maintained in the tank par- ticularly if the tank is filled with cold gasoline and then moved to a warm area. Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank. They are precision- made to ensure high quality and correct fit. Refer to the appropriate Illustrated Parts Manual for the cor- rect part number, quantity, and description. Clean the seat cushion cover and base with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Allow the ATV to dry thoroughly. DO NOT get water into any part of the engine or air intake.

Never add fuel to the ATV gas tank near any open flames or with the engine running. A fire hazard could materialize. Always allow the engine to cool before filling the gas tank. Either drain the gas tank or add Fuel Stabilizer to the gas in the gas tank. Remove the air filter housing cover and air filter. Start the engine and allow it to idle; then using Arctic Cat Engine Storage Preserver, rapidly inject the preserver into the air filter opening for a period of 10 to 20 seconds; then stop the engine.

Install the air fil- ter and housing cover. On carbureted models, drain the carburetor float chamber. Plug the exhaust hole in the exhaust system with a clean cloth. Apply light oil to the upper steering post bush- ing and plungers of the shock absorbers. 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 see Section On liquid cooled models, fill the cooling system to the bottom of the stand pipe in the radiator neck with properly mixed coolant.

Disconnect the battery cables; then remove the battery, clean the battery posts and cables, and store in a clean, dry area. Store the ATV indoors in a level position. Preparation After Storage Taking the ATV out of storage and correctly prepar- ing it will assure many miles and hours of trouble- free riding. Arctic Cat recommends the following procedure to prepare the ATV.

Clean the ATV thoroughly. Clean the engine. Remove the cloth from the exhaust system. Check all control wires and cables for signs of wear or fraying. Replace if necessary. On liquid cooled models, check the coolant level and add properly mixed coolant as necessary. Charge the battery; then install. Connect the bat- tery cables.

Check the entire brake systems fluid level, pads, etc. Tighten all nuts, bolts, cap screws, and screws making sure all calibrated nuts, cap screws, and bolts are tightened to specifications see Section Check tire pressure.

Inflate to recommended pressure as necessary. Make sure the steering moves freely and does not bind. Check the spark plug. Clean or replace as neces- sary. Apply light oil to the components using the following list as reference. Auxiliary Brake Cable Ends D.

Shift Lever Cable End E. If the level drops below the lower level line, add only dis- tilled water until it reaches upper level line. If the battery is discharged, remove the battery from the ATV and charge the battery at 1. To remove and charge the battery, use the following procedure.

Remove the battery hold-down bracket. Remove the negative battery cable; then remove the positive cable and the battery vent tube. Remove the battery from the ATV. Care should be taken not to damage the vent tube. Remove the vent plugs; then if necessary fill the battery with distilled water to the upper level indicated on the battery.

Trickle charge the battery at 1. After charging, check fluid level and fill with distilled water as necessary; then install vent plugs. Place the battery into position in the ATV and secure with the hold-down bracket. Attach the vent tube and check the vent tube to make sure it is not crimped or obstructed in any way and that it is properly routed through and secured to the frame.

Connect the negative cable last. Care must be taken whenever handling a battery. WARNING Anytime service is performed on a battery, the fol- lowing must be observed: keep sparks, open flame, cigarettes, or any other flame away.

Always wear safety glasses. Protect skin and clothing when han- dling a battery. When servicing battery in enclosed space, keep the area well-ventilated.

Make sure bat- tery venting is not obstructed. If there is any type of electrical system failure, always check the fuses first. NOTE: To remove a fuse, compress the locking tabs on either side of the fuse case and lift out. If the ATV is used under normal condi- tions, service the filter at the intervals specified. If operated in dusty, wet, or muddy conditions, inspect and service the filter more frequently. Remove the seat; then remove the appropriate reinstallable rivets securing the storage compart- ment.

CAUTION Failure to inspect the air filter frequently if the vehi- cle is used in dusty, wet, or muddy conditions can damage the engine. On the , remove the storage compartment assembly by elevating the rear of the compart- ment, moving it rearward, and lifting it off. CFA 3. Remove the storage compartment.

CD 4. CDA FI 5. Fill a wash pan larger than the filter with a non-flammable cleaning solvent; then dip the filter in the solvent and wash it. Dry the filter. Put the filter in a plastic bag; then pour in air fil- ter oil and work the filter. Reattach the filter to the filter screen. Clean any dirt or debris from inside the air cleaner.

Be sure no dirt enters the carburetor if equipped. Place the filter assembly in the air filter housing making sure it is properly positioned and prop- erly seated with the filter screen down. Dirt and dust may get inside the engine if the ele- ment is torn. Carefully examine the element for tears before and after cleaning it.

Replace the element with a new one if it is torn. Install the storage compartment; then secure with the reinstallable rivets. Inspect one-way drains beneath the main hous- ing for debris and for proper sealing. KXA 2. Replace any one-way drain that is cracked or shows any signs of hardening or deterioration. Wipe any accumulation of oil or gas from the filter housing and one-way drains. Remove the timing inspection plug; then remove the tappet covers for more detailed information, see Section 3 - Servicing Top-Side Components.

Rotate the crankshaft to the TDC position on the compression stroke. NOTE: At this point, the rocker arms and adjuster screws must not have pressure on them.

If clearance is not within specifica- tions, loosen the jam nut and rotate the tappet adjuster screw until the clearance is within spec- ifications. Tighten each jam nut securely after completing the adjustment. CCDB 4. Install the timing inspection plug.

Place the two tappet covers into position making sure the proper cap screws are with the proper cover. Tighten the cap screws securely. Any leak of this one-way drain will allow dirt into the engine intake causing severe engine damage.

CAUTION The feeler gauge must be positioned at the same angle as the valve and valve adjuster for an accurate measurement of clearance.

Failure to measure the valve clearance accurately could cause valve com- ponent damage. Exhaust 0. CF 2. Place the valve adjuster onto the jam nut secur- ing the tappet adjuster screw; then rotate the valve adjuster dial clockwise until the end is seated in the tappet adjuster screw. While holding the valve adjuster dial in place, use the valve adjuster handle and loosen the jam nut; then rotate the tappet adjuster screw clock- wise until friction is felt.

Align the valve adjuster handle with one of the marks on the valve adjuster dial. While holding the adjuster dial at the proper clearance setting, tighten the jam nut securely with the valve adjuster handle.

Place the two tappet covers with O-rings into position; then tighten the covers securely. Install the spark plug; then install the timing inspection plug. NOTE: The seat, heat shields, splash panels, front rack, and front fenders must be removed for this procedure see Section 8. Remove the recoil starter assembly; then remove the valve timing inspection plug and the cylinder head cover. FIA 3. Using an appropriate bar, rotate the engine through two full revolutions; then while on the compression stroke, align the TDC line on the starter clutch with the index mark on the crank- case.

Oil trapped in these areas could result in a false valve clearance reading. Using an appropriate thickness gauge, measure and record the clearance of both intake valves; then measure and record the clearance of both exhaust valves. Valve clearance must be within specifications. FI 5. Identify the valves that are not within specifica- tions; then remove the corresponding camshaft see Section 3 - Removing Top-Side Compo- nents.

Mark the valve tappets in order to return them to the proper position during assembly. FI 7. Fold a suitable towel and use it to plug the cam- shaft drive passageway; then using a magnet, remove the tappet and shim from the appropriate valve. FI FI 8.

Note the three digit number on the surface of the tappet shim; then refer to the appropriate tappet shim selection table at the end of this section for the correct replacement. Measured tappet clearance from step 4 in ver- tical column on left. Present shim size horizontal row at the top. Match measured clearance in vertical column with current shim size in horizontal row to find recommended replacement size. Apply engine oil to both surfaces of the tappet shim; then place the shim on the valve with the numbers toward the tappet.

FI Install the tappet on the appropriate valve; then install the camshaft. Using an appropriate bar, rotate the engine through two full revolutions; then rotate to TDC on the compression stroke and check the valve tappet clearance. NOTE: Rotating the engine ensures that any excess oil is squeezed from the tappets and tappet shims.

Using a new gasket, apply Three Bond Sealant to the camshaft end caps of the cylinder head cover gasket; then install the cylinder head cover and tighten the four cap screws to specifi- cations see Section Install the valve timing inspection plug and tighten securely; then install the recoil starter assembly and secure with the four cap screws coated with blue Loctite Tighten to speci- fications see Section Testing Engine Compression To test engine compression, use the following pro- cedure.

Remove the high tension lead from the spark plug. Using compressed air, blow any debris from around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug; then attach the high ten- sion lead to the plug and ground the plug on the cylinder head well away from the spark plug hole. NOTE: The engine must be warm and the bat- tery must be fully charged for this test. While holding the throttle lever in the full-open position, crank the engine over with the electric starter until the gauge shows a peak reading five to 10 compression strokes.

NOTE: For the , the compression should be within a range of psi in the full-open throttle position. For the EFI, the compression should be within a range of psi in the full-open throttle position. The cover is made of magne- sium and any contact with spark or electrical arc will severely pit the surface. If compression is abnormally low, inspect the following items. Verify starter cranks engine over at normal speed approximately RPM. Gauge functioning properly. Throttle lever in the full-open position.

Valve not bent or burned. Valve seat not burned. Pour If compression is now evident, service the piston rings see Section 3. Spark Plug A light brown insulator indicates that a plug is cor- rect. A white or dark insulator indicates that the engine may need to be serviced or the carburetor if equipped may need to be adjusted. To maintain a hot, strong spark, keep the plug free of carbon. ATV Adjust the gap to 0. Use a feeler gauge to check the gap. ATVB When installing the spark plug, be sure to tighten it securely.

At the intervals shown in the Peri- odic Maintenance Chart, clean the spark arrester using the following procedure. Remove the three cap screws securing the spark arrester assembly to the muffler; then loosen and remove the arrester. CFA 2.

Adjusting Throttle Cable To adjust the throttle cable free-play, follow this procedure. Slide the rubber boot away; then loosen the jam nut from the throttle cable adjuster. ALD 2. ATV 3. Tighten the jam nut against the throttle cable adjuster securely; then slide the rubber boot over the adjuster. To properly adjust the idle RPM, a tachometer is necessary.

To adjust idle RPM, use the following procedure. NOTE: The idle adjustment screw is located on the right-hand side of the carburetor. With the transmission in neutral, start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature. Turn the idle adjustment screw clockwise one turn past the recommended RPM setting; then turn it counterclockwise to RPM.

Make sure the engine is at normal operating temperature before adjusting the idle RPM. The engine should always be warm when the oil is changed so the oil will drain easily and completely. Park the ATV on level ground. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the engine and drain the oil into a drain pan. Install the plug and tighten securely. On the EFI, remove the left-side engine cover and the left-front inner fender panel.

NOTE: Clean up any excess oil after removing the filter. Apply oil to a new filter O-ring and check to make sure it is positioned correctly; then install the new oil filter. Tighten securely. Install the engine drain plug and tighten to spec- ifications.

Pour the specified amount of the rec- ommended oil in the filler hole. Start the engine while the ATV is outside on level ground and allow it to idle for a few min- utes. Turn the engine off and wait approximately one minute. Unscrew the oil level stick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Install the oil level stick until the threads touch engine case. NOTE: The oil level stick should not be threaded into the case for checking the oil level. Inspect the area around the drain plug and oil fil- ter for leaks.

On the EFI, install the left-side engine cover and the left-front inner fender panel. Remove the belly panel. Remove the cap screws securing the oil strainer cap; then remove the cap. Account for the O-ring. CCD 3. Remove the two Phillips-head cap screws secur- ing the strainer. CCD 4. Place the oil strainer into position beneath the crankcase and secure with the Phillips-head cap screws. CCD 5. Place the strainer cap into position on the strainer making sure the O-ring is properly installed; then secure with the cap screws.

CCD 6. Install the belly panel. When changing the lubricant, use approved SAE 80W hypoid gear lube. To check lubricant, remove the rear drive filler plug; the lubricant level should be 1 in.

If low, add SAE approved 80W hypoid gear lube as necessary. To change the lubricant, use the following proce- dure. Place the ATV on level ground. Remove each oil fill plug. ALC 3. Drain the oil into a drain pan by removing in turn the drain plug from each. ATVA B 4.

After all the oil has been drained, install the drain plugs and tighten to specifications see Section Pour the appropriate amount of recommended oil into the filler hole. Install the fill plugs. Using an impact driver, remove the screws securing the cover and remove the cover.

AMD 2. Loosen the jam nuts securing adjustment screw 1 forward and adjustment screw 2 rear- ward. Rotate adjustment screw 1 counterclockwise until it stops. Rotate adjustment screw 2 alternately clock- wise and counterclockwise to ensure free move- ment without binding; then lock the jam nut securing adjustment screw 2. NOTE: At this point the clutch should be adjusted correctly. Test to ensure accurate adjustment. Install the cover making sure the O-ring is prop- erly positioned; then secure with the screws.

Do not under any circumstances substitute tires of a dif- ferent type or size. A low-pressure gauge is provided in the tool kit to measure the air pressure in the tires. Check the air pressure in all tires before each use of the ATV. Steering Components The following steering components should be inspected periodically to ensure safe and proper operation. Handlebar grips not worn, broken, or loose. Handlebar not bent, cracked, and has equal and complete full-left and full-right capabil- ity.

Coupling cracked, damaged, or worn. Always maintain proper tire inflation pressure. Shock absorber rods not bent, pitted, or dam- aged. Rubber damper not cracked, broken, or miss- ing. Shock absorber body not damaged, punc- tured, or leaking.

Shock absorber eyelets not broken, bent, or cracked. Shock absorber eyelet bushings not worn, deteriorated, cracked, or missing. Shock absorber spring not broken or sagging. Care must be taken that all calibrated nuts, bolts, and cap screws are tightened to specifications see Section The ignition timing cannot be adjusted; however, verifying ignition timing can aid in troubleshooting other components.

To verify ignition timing, use the following procedure. Rotate the ignition switch to the lights position; the headlights and taillight should illuminate. Test the brakelight by compressing the brake lever. The brakelight should illuminate. When replacing the headlight bulb, do not touch the glass portion of the bulb. If the glass is touched, it must be cleaned with a dry cloth before installing. Skin oil residue on the bulb will shorten the life of the bulb. To replace the headlight bulb, use the following pro- cedure.

Remove the wiring harness connector from the back of the headlight. Grasp the bulb housing, turn it counterclock- wise, and remove the bulb. Install the new bulb into the housing and rotate it completely clockwise. Install the wiring harness connector. Turn the bulb socket assembly counterclockwise and remove from the housing.

Severe burns may result. Pull the bulb straight out of the socket; then insert a new bulb. Insert the bulb socket assembly into the housing and turn it clockwise to secure. The geometric center of the HIGH beam light zone is to be used for vertical and horizontal aiming. Position the ATV on a level floor so the head- lights are approximately 6. Measure the distance from the floor to the mid-point of each headlight. Using the measurements obtained in step 2, make horizontal marks on the aiming surface.

Make vertical marks which intersect the hori- zontal marks on the aiming surface directly in front of the headlights. Switch on the lights. Make sure the HIGH beam is on.

Observe each headlight beam aim. Proper aim is when the most intense beam is centered on the vertical mark 5 cm 2 in. ATVC 7. Adjust each headlight by turning the adjuster knob clockwise to raise the beam or counter- clockwise to lower the beam. Use the following list for reference.

It should play the DVD and display to other screens that you would have to hook up too to the unit. But is should not display on the screen of the in dash unit if the car is not in park. There are laws against this to avoid the driver being distracted watching a video while driving. I don't know of one that will. No there is an automatic lock out tied to emergency brake or transmission Seems a liability issue, and would think rightly so [ JAMES Dec 26, ].

The thumb drive slot is attached to the rear of the unit, but is on an extension cable which you can run to the glove box or other places. I like the set up [ Mike Jan 15, ]. The USB slot is located on a extended drop cord that comes out the back of radio.

This allows you to locate the slot where you would have access to it when radio is installed. Its a cable that comes out of the rear of the unit that you can route wherever u want.

I ran mine over to my glove box and pull it out when I need it. There is a wire that comes from the back of the stereo. Its pretty long so you can install it where ever you feel is best for you.

The blue tooth wire comes out the same way. I just left mine on the floor in my Yukon xl. I hope this was helpful. It is behind the radio attached to a pigtail. It's on the back. There is an extension cable you have to leave hanging down so you'll have access to it, especially for firmware updates to the unit.

I would definitely just connect the ground to metal chassis make sure it is not a painted surface but the problem may be the 12v input; it could be getting the wrong voltage. Get a multimeter and check the output on the yellow line. If that's good, I'd RMA the deck. This receiver will come with the wiring and install kit for most vehicles.
