FLUIDS
If XPS™ engine oil is not available, use a 10W40
mineral
engine oil compatible with wet clutches.
NOTE:
The XPS engine oil has been thoroughly
tested to be free of any additives that could impair
the functionality of the supercharger clutch.
NOTICE
NEVER use synthetic oil. This would
impair the proper operation of the super-
charger clutch. Do not add any additives to
the recommended oil. Mineral oils not recom-
mended by BRP may also contain additives
(friction modifiers) that may cause inappropri-
ate slippage of the supercharger and eventu-
ally lead to premature wear. For this reason,
XPS Summer Grade oil or a BRP approved
equivalent are the only recommended oils.
Use of any oil not recommended by BRP may
void BRP's limited warranty.
Engine Oil Level Verification (Watercraft
Out of Water)
NOTE:
Oil level can be checked with watercraft ei-
ther in or out of water.
NOTICE
Check oil level frequently and refill if
necessary. Do not overfill. Operating the en-
gine with an improper level may severely dam-
age engine.
WARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment may be very hot. Direct contact may re-
sult in skin burn.
WARNING
When operating the engine out of water, the
heat exchanger in the ride plate may become
very hot. Avoid any contact with the ride
plate as burns may occur.
