Atv Safety Certification:
ATVs are not typically rated by agencies like NHTSA in the same way as passenger vehicles. Users must adhere to safe operating practices and wear appropriate safety gear.
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc brakes on all wheels.
Engine Braking:
CVT provides engine braking in lower gears and deceleration.
Roll Over Protection:
Not equipped with ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) as standard. Users must exercise caution.
Lighting:
Dual headlights, taillight, and brake light for visibility.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first (refer to manual for exact specification).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Recommended every 50 hours or as needed based on operating conditions (dusty environments require more frequent cleaning/replacement).
Spark Plug Replacement:
Refer to manual, typically every 1,000-2,000 hours or annually.
Engine Oil Type:
SAE 10W-40, API SG or higher, meeting JASO MA specifications (refer to manual for exact Arctic Cat recommended oil).
