OPERATION

Oil

n

Low Oil Indicator Light

The low oil indicator light will alert the operator if the oil level is low.

Visually check for oil in the bottle. Add oil before further operation of

the snowmobile.

n

Low Oil Level

Maintaining the proper oil level will prevent system aeration and possi-

ble loss of pumping action, which could result in engine damage. This is

especially important when the machine is operated in mountainous ter-

rain.

Always check the oil level when refueling. Maintain the oil level above

the tank's low level line. When the oil reaches the low level mark, add

one U.S. quart of recommended oil. See page 62 for oil recommenda-

tions.

NOTE: The Polaris oil cap on the oil bottle is vented to allow proper oil

flow. See your Polaris dealer for recommended replacement

parts.

CAUTION

Operating the snowmobile without adequate engine lubrication can result in

serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when refueling. Add oil

as needed.
