Fuel
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
• Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
• Always turn off the engine before refueling.
• Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where
refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored.
• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water and change clothing.
• Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust fumes
are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time.
• Turn the fuel valve off whenever the snowmobile is stored, parked or

Fuel Recommendation
Your POLARIS engine is designed to run on 87 octane non-oxygenated
or 89 octane oxygenated pump gasoline. There's a great deal of variabil-
ity in the quality of the 87 octane gasoline available across the country,
so we encourage the use of premium fuel when possible.
Do not use fuel
containing more than 10% ethanol (including E85)
.
NOTICE:
Using fuels with a lower than recommended octane or operating with
obstructed fuel systems will result in serious and costly engine
damage. Always use the recommended fuels for your machine.
