OPERATION

Fuel

Fuel Reserve Capacity (Mechanical Gauge)

There are approximately two gallons of fuel left in the tank when the

mechanical fuel gauge reads RES.

Fuel System Deicers

If you use non-oxygenated fuel, Polaris recommends the regular use of

isopropyl-based fuel system deicer. Add one to two ounces per gallon

(8-16 ml per liter) of gasoline to prevent engine damage resulting from

fuel system icing and lean fuel mixtures. Never use deicers or additives

containing methanol. Polaris also recommends the use of Carbon Clean

Plus. See page 134 for the part numbers of Polaris products.

If you use oxygenated fuel containing ethanol, additional alcohol deic-

ers or water absorbing additives should not be used.

CAUTION

Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage paint.

Always protect painted surfaces when handling fuel.
