The engine oil level should be checked before
each use. In addition, the oil must be changed
and the oil filter cartridge replaced at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.

ter the engine is turned off. Coming into

your clothes could result in burns.
CAUTION:

●
Do not run the engine with too much or
not enough oil in the oil tank. Oil could
spray out or the engine could be dam-
aged.
●
Be sure to change the engine oil after
the first 800 km (500 mi) of operation,
and every 4000 km (2500 mi) thereafter
or at the start of a new season, other-
wise the engine will wear quickly.
●
The oil filter cartridge should be re-
placed every 20000 km (12000 mi) of op-
eration.
To check the engine oil level
1.
Place the snowmobile on a level surface
and apply the parking brake.
2.
Start the engine, warm it up for 10–15
minutes, and then turn it off.
NOTE:
●
The engine can also be warmed up by op-
erating the snowmobile for 10–15 minutes.
●
After operating the snowmobile, allow the
engine to idle for at least 10 seconds before
turning it off.
3.
Remove the shroud and the right side
cover. (See page 40 for removal proce-
dures.)
4.
Disconnect the oil level gauge coupler.
CAUTION:
ECS00451
Disconnect the oil level gauge coupler be-
fore removing the oil filler cap, otherwise
the cable could twist and break.
5.
Remove the oil filler cap, wipe the dipstick
clean, insert it back into the oil filler hole
(without screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.
