WARNING
Always stop engine before refueling. Open cap slowly. If a dif-
ferential pressure condition is noticed (whistling sound heard
when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehicle inspected and/or
repaired before further operation. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions. Never use an open flame to
check fuel level. Never smoke or allow flame or spark in vicin-
ity. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Never top up the
fuel tank before placing the vehicle in a warm area. As tem-
perature increases, fuel expands and may overflow. Always
wipe off any fuel spillage from the vehicle.
Fuel System Antifreeze
When using oxygenated fuel, additional gas line antifreeze or water
absorbing additives are not required and should be not used.
When using non-oxygenated fuel, we highly recommend the use of
isopropyl base gas line antifreeze in a proportion of 150 mL (5 U.S. oz)
of gas line antifreeze added to 40 liters (10-1/2 U.S. gal) of gas.
This precaution is in order to reduce the risk of frozen carburetors
which may lead, in certain cases, to high fuel consumption or severe
damage to engine.
IMPORTANT: Use only methyl hydrate free gas line antifreeze.
Oil
NOTE: Premix fuel/oil ratio is 33:1
CAUTION: Never experiment with other fuel/oil ratios. Use only
oil that can flow at - 40°C (- 40°F).
Oil must be mixed with fuel at the ratio of 33:1 in a jerrycan then,
be poured in the fuel tank. Refer to chart below as a guideline to
properly premix oil with fuel.
Use only two-stroke engine injection oil, sold by authorized SKI-DOO
dealers.
