Low Oil Indicator Light
The low oil indicator light will alert the operator if the oil level is low.
Visually check for oil in the bottle. Add oil before further operation of
the snowmobile.
n
Low Oil Level
Maintaining the proper oil level will prevent system aeration and possi-
ble loss of pumping action, which could result in engine damage. This is
especially important when the machine is operated in mountainous ter-
rain.
Always check the oil level when refuel-
ing. Maintain the oil level above the
tank's low level line. When the oil reaches
the low level mark, add one U.S. quart of
recommended oil. See page 66 for oil rec-
ommendations.
NOTE:
The Polaris oil cap on the oil bot-
tle is vented to allow proper oil
flow. See your Polaris dealer for
recommended replacement
parts.
CAUTION
Operating the snowmobile without adequate engine lubrication can result in
serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when refueling. Add oil
as needed.
