OPERATION

Oil
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.
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 refueling. 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 54 for oil recommenda-
tions.
NOTE: The Polaris oil cap on the oil bottle 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.
