FUEL AND LUBRICATION
Recommended Fuel
Use unleaded gasoline with a mini-
mum of 87 octane (RON + MON/2)
specification.
NOTE:
Look on service station pump
sticker for octane specification. Do not
mix oil with fuel except at engine
break-in. Always check injection oil
tank level when refueling.
The use of good quality fuel is neces-
sary. A well known fuel brand is highly
recommended.
Recommended Oil
Use BOMBARDIER ROTAX INJEC-
TION OIL which is available from au-
thorized dealers. It is a blend of spe-
cially selected base oils and additives
which provides proper lubrication, en-
gine cleanliness and minimum spark
plug fouling.
NOTE:
High quality low ash API TC in-
jection oil for 2-cycle engines can be
used if BOMBARDIER ROTAX INJEC-
TION OIL is not available.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Starting the Engine
Before unloading the watercraft from

10 seconds to verify proper operation.
Attach the safety lanyard to the opera-
tor’s PFD and snap the cap to the

gine is started.
-
CAUTION
Never experiment with other fu-
els or fuel ratios. Never use fuel
containing more than 10% alco-
hol (ethanol or methanol). The
use of non-recommended fuel can
result in watercraft performance
deterioration and damage to crit-
ical parts in the fuel system and
engine components.
-
CAUTION
Never use 4-cycle petroleum or
synthetic motor oil and never mix
these with outboard motor oil.
Do not use NMMA TC-W, TC-W2
or TC-W3 outboard motor oils or
other ashless type 2-cycle oil.
Avoid mixing different brands of
API TC oil as resulting chemical
reaction may cause severe en-
gine damage.

pump area when engine is run-
ning.
