CAUTION:
Never experiment with
other fuels or fuel ratios. The use
of unrecommended fuel can result
in snowmobile performance deteri-
oration and damage to critical parts
in the fuel system and engine com-
ponents.
Fuel System Antifreeze
When using oxygenated fuel, addi-
tional 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 iso-
propyl 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 frost buildup in carburetors
which may lead, in certain cases, to
high fuel consumption or severe dam-
age to engine.
NOTE:
Use only methyl hydrate free
gas line antifreeze.
Fueling Procedure
Unscrew fuel tank cap to fill up tank
then fully tighten.

TYPICAL
1. Fuel tank cap
WARNING
Always stop the engine before re-
fueling. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity.
Open cap slowly.
If a differen-
tial pressure condition is noticed
(whistling sound heard when loos-
ening fuel tank cap) have vehicle
inspected and/or repaired before
further operation.
Do not over-
fill or top off the fuel tank before
placing the vehicle in a warm area.
As temperature increases,
fuel
expands and might overflow. Al-
ways wipe off any fuel spillage
from the vehicle. Periodically ver-
ify fuel system.
