NOTICE
Never experiment with
other fuels. The use of not recom-
mended fuel can result in snowmo-
bile performance deterioration and
damage to critical parts in the fuel
system and engine components. Do
not mistake oil reservoir cap for fuel
tank cap. Oil reservoir cap is identi-
fied OIL.
Fuel Antifreeze Additives
When using oxygenated fuel, addi-
tional gas line antifreeze or water ab-
sorbing 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 an-
tifreeze 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 or
other fuel system components which
may lead, in certain cases, to severe
damage to engine.
NOTE: Use only methyl hydrate free
gas line antifreeze.
Fueling Procedure
Unscrew to fill up tank then fully tight-
en.
