GENERAL INFORMATION
Recommended Engine Oil
(660 cc Turbo)
The recommended oil to use is Syn-
thetic Turbo 0W-40 Oil (p/n 3639-
510).
After the engine break-in period, the
engine oil should be changed every
2500-3000 miles on standard 660 cc
models and every 2000 miles on
660 cc Turbo models and before
prolonged storage.
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its tem-
perature increases, the gas tank must
be filled to its rated 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. Also, if the
snowmobile is to remain on a trailer
after filling the gas tank, the bed of
the trailer must be maintained level
to prevent gasoline from draining
out through the gas tank vent hose.
Break-In Gas/Oil Mixing
Instructions (2-Stroke Models)
Before mixing gasoline and oil,
make sure the oil is at room temper-
ature (20° C/68° F). Use a U.L.
approved 22.7 l (6 U.S. gal.) gaso-
line container for mixing the gaso-
line and oil. To properly mix the fuel
at a 100:1 ratio, use the following
procedure:
1. Pour gasoline into the gasoline
container until approximately
half full.
2. Pour 236 ml (8 fl oz) of the rec-
ommended 2-cycle oil into the
gasoline container.
3. Install cap on gasoline con-
tainer and shake the mixture
vigorously.
4. Fill the gasoline container with
gasoline; then cap the gasoline
container and shake the mixture
vigorously.
5. Using a fine-mesh screened
funnel, pour the fuel mixture
from the gasoline container into
the snowmobile gas tank.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-
ventilated area. Never add gaso-
line to the snowmobile gas tank
near any open flames or with
the engine running. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the gas
tank. Do not sit on the snowmo-
bile without first installing the
gas tank cap.
! CAUTION
Never mix oil and gasoline in
the snowmobile gas tank.
