NOTICE
Using fuels with a lower than recommended octane or operating with
obstructed fuel systems will result in serious and costly engine damage.
Always use the recommended fuels for your machine.
FUEL SYSTEM DEICERS
If you use non-ethanol fuel (sometimes labeled “non-oxygenated”), POLARIS
recommends the regular use of isopropyl-based fuel system deicer. Add 1-2
ounces per gallon (8-16 ml per liter) of gasoline to prevent damage resulting
from fuel system icing. Never use deicers or additives containing methanol.
POLARIS recommends the use of Carbon Clean.
IMPORTANT
If you use fuel with up to 10% ethanol (sometimes labeled “oxygenated”) do
not add deicers or additives that contain any form of alcohol. Adding deicer to
oxygenated fuels could result in severe engine damage.
FUEL VALVE
The fuel valve is located near the lower rear area of the oil bottle. Turn the fuel
valve off whenever the snowmobile is stored, parked or transported.
Turn the fuel valve clockwise to OFF to shut off the fuel supply.
Turn the valve counter-clockwise to ON to turn the fuel supply on.
LOW OIL LEVEL
Always maintain the oil level between the “add” mark and the bottle neck.
Do not
fill the bottle neck
. See page
for oil recommendations.
1.
Immediately
stop the engine if the low oil indicator light comes on.
2. Open the right side panel.
3. View the oil level in the oil bottle.
4. Add oil as needed before operating.
NOTICE
Operating the snowmobile without adequate engine lubrication can result in
serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when refueling. Add oil as
needed.
The oil bottle cap is vented to allow proper oil flow. See your POLARIS dealer for
recommended replacement parts.
