General Information/Foreword
This Service Manual contains service, maintenance, and troubleshooting information for the 2019 Wildcat X. The complete manual is designed to aid service personnel in service-oriented applications. This manual is divided into sections. Each section covers a specific vehicle component or system and, in addition to the standard service procedures, includes disassembling, inspecting, and assembling instructions. When using this manual as a guide, the technician should use discretion as to how much disassembly is needed to correct any given condition. This service manual is designed primarily for use by a CatMaster Basic Level technician. The procedures found in this manual are of varying difficulty, and certain service procedures in this manual require one or more special tools to be completed. The technician should use sound judgment when determining which procedures can be completed based on their skill level and access to appropriate special tools. NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively,
cracked, or damaged in any way, replacement is necessary.
When replacement of parts is necessary, use only genuine parts. They are precision-made to ensure high quality and correct fit. Refer to the appropriate Illustrated Parts Manual for the correct part number, quantity, and description. All publications and decals display the words Warning, Caution, Note, and At This Point to emphasize important information. The symbol !WARNING identifies personal safety-related information. Be sure to follow the directive because it deals with the possibility of serious personal injury or even death. A CAUTION identifies unsafe practices which may result in vehicle-related damage. Follow the directive because it deals with the possibility of damaging part or parts of the vehicle. The symbol NOTE: identifies supplementary information worthy of particular attention. The symbol AT THIS POINT directs the technician to certain and specific procedures to promote efficiency and to improve clarity. At the time of publication, all information, photographs, and illustrations were technically correct. Some photographs used in this manual are used for clarity purposes only and are not designed to depict actual conditions. Because the manufacturer constantly refines and improves its products, no retroactive obligation is incurred.

During this period, drive the vehicle for 25 miles at 3/4 throttle or less while varying throttle position (but not exceeding 40 mph). By varying throttle position, the exposed cord on the side of a new belt will be conditioned allowing the drive belt to gain its optimum flexibility and will extend drive belt life.
Gasoline — Oil — Lubricant
FILLING GAS TANK ! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area. Never add fuel to the gas tank near any open flames or with the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the gas tank must be filled to its specified capacity only. Expansion room must be maintained in the tank particularly 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.
! WARNING
Do not overflow gasoline when filling the gas tank. A fire hazard could materialize. Always allow the engine to cool before filling the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-fill the gas tank.
RECOMMENDED GASOLINE The recommended gasoline to use is 91 minimum octane regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5% methanol are acceptable gasolines. When using ethanol-blended gasoline, it is not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
RECOMMENDED ENGINE/TRANSMISSION OIL The recommended oil to use is ACX All Weather synthetic engine oil, which has been specifically formulated for use in this engine. Although ACX All Weather synthetic engine oil is the only oil recommended for use in this engine, use of any API-certified SM 0W-40 oil is acceptable. CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only approved gasoline additives should be used.
OILCHARTJ
RECOMMENDED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL/REAR DRIVE LUBRICANT The recommended lubricant is Gear Lube which is SAE-approved 80W-90 hypoid. This lubricant meets all of the lubrication requirements of the vehicle front differential and rear drive.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubricant could cause serious front differential/rear drive damage.
Preparation for Storage
The manufacturer recommends the following procedure to prepare the vehicle for storage:
1.Clean the seat cushions with a damp cloth and allow to dry. 2.Clean the vehicle thoroughly by washing dirt, oil, grass, and other foreign matter from the entire vehicle. Allow the vehicle to dry thoroughly. DO NOT get water into any part of the engine or air intake. 3.Either drain the gas tank or add a fuel stabilizer to the gas in the gas tank. 4.Change the engine oil. 5.Plug the hole in the exhaust system with a clean cloth.
6.Apply light oil to the upper steering shaft bushing and plungers of the shock absorbers. 7.Tighten all nuts, bolts, cap screws, and screws. Care must be taken that all calibrated nuts, cap screws, and bolts are tightened to specifications. 8.Fill the cooling system to the bottom of the stand pipe in the radiator neck with properly mixed coolant. 9.Disconnect the battery cables (negative cable first); then remove the battery, clean the battery posts and cables, and store in a clean, dry area.
CAUTION
Prior to storing this vehicle, it must be properly serviced to prevent rusting and component deterioration.
NOTE: For storage, use a battery maintainer or
make sure the battery is fully charged (see Battery sub-section in this manual).
10.Store the vehicle indoors in a level position.
CAUTION
Avoid storing outside in direct sunlight and avoid using a plastic cover as moisture will collect on the vehicle causing rusting.
Preparation after Storage
Taking this vehicle out of storage and correctly preparing it will ensure many miles and hours of trouble-free riding. The manufacturer recommends the following procedure:
1.Clean the vehicle thoroughly. 2.Clean the engine. Remove the cloth from the exhaust system. 3.Check all control wires and cables for signs of wear or fraying. Replace if necessary. 4.Change the engine/transmission oil and filter. 5.Check the coolant level and add properly mixed coolant as necessary. 6.Charge the battery; then install. Connect the battery cables making sure to connect the positive cable first.
7.Check the entire brake systems (fluid level, pads, etc.), all controls, headlights, taillight, brake light, and headlight aim; adjust or replace if necessary. 8.Check the tire pressure. Inflate to recommended pressure as necessary. 9.Tighten all nuts, bolts, cap screws, and screws making sure all calibrated nuts, cap screws, and bolts are tightened to specifications. 10.Make sure the steering moves freely and does not bind.
11.Check the spark plugs. Clean or replace as necessary. 12.Check the air filter and the air filter housing. Clean or replace as necessary.
CAUTION
