General Maintenance NOTE: Proper maintenance of the ATV is important for optimum per- formance. Follow the Service Book- let and all ensuing maintenance instructions/information. Liquid Cooling System (425) NOTE: Debris in front of the engine or packed between the cool- ing fins of the radiator can reduce cooling capability. Using a garden hose, wash the radiator to remove any debris preventing air flow. If, at any time, abnormal noises, vibra- tions, or improper functioning of any component of this ATV is detected, DO NOT OPERATE THE ATV. Take the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for inspection and adjustment or repair.
CAUTION If the owner/operator does not feel quali- fied to perform any of these maintenance procedures or checks, take the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for professional service. Oil Cooler (350) Arctic Cat does not recommend using a pressure washer to clean the radiator core. The pressure may bend or flatten the fins causing restricted air flow, and electrical components on the radiator could be damaged. Use only a garden hose with spray nozzle at normal tap pressure. The cooling system capacity can be found in the specifications chart. The cooling system should be inspected daily for leakage and damage.
If leakage or damage is detected, take the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for ser- vice. Also, the coolant level should be checked periodically. KC0083 NOTE: Dirt and debris must be cleaned from the cooling fins regularly to ensure proper engine oil cooling. Continued operation of the ATV with high engine temperature may result in engine damage or premature wear. CAUTION Continued operation of the ATV with high engine temperature may result in engine damage or premature wear. CAUTION NOTE: High engine RPM, low vehicle speed, or heavy load can raise engine temperature.
Decreas- ing engine RPM, reducing load, and selecting an appropriate transmis- sion gear can lower the tempera- ture. NOTE: High engine RPM, low vehi- cle speed, or heavy load can raise engine temperature. Decreasing engine RPM, reducing load, and selecting an appropriate transmis- sion gear can lower the temperature. 48 48 48 48
