NOTICE
Never experiment with
other fuels. The use of inadequate
fuel can result in snowmobile perfor-
mance 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 identified 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 L (10.6 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
tighten.
