Fuel
Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in the
fuel tank.
WARNING
EWS00070
●
Fuel is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE and poi-
sonous. Check the “SAFETY INFORMA-
TION” section carefully before refueling.
(See page 1.)
●
Do not fill the fuel tank above the bottom
of the filler tube. Fuel could overflow if
the snowmobile is tilted or if the ambient
temperature rises, causing the fuel to
warm up and expand.
●
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
closed securely after refueling. Leaking
fuel can catch fire.
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to
use regular unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a
research octane number of 91 or higher.
CAUTION:

●
Oxygenated fuels (gasohol) containing
a maximum 5% of ethanol can be used,
although richer jetting may be required
to prevent engine damage. Consult a
Yamaha dealer. Gasohol containing
methanol is not recommended.
●
Make sure that snow or ice does not en-
ter the fuel tank when refueling.
●
Do not use alcohol deicers or water ab-
sorbing additives with oxygenated fuel.
●
The fuel tank should be filled with
straight gasoline as specified.
