OPERATION

Pre-Operation Inspection

Fuel

Your watercraft features an oil injection system, and
it’s not necessary to pre-mix the gasoline and oil.
Refer to the specifications section beginning on page
102 for the proper fuel octane and oil requirements for
your Polaris watercraft.

Refueling

Carefully remove the fuel cap.
NOTE: Keep the watercraft horizontal while fueling.

The use of a funnel or flexible spout will help avoid
gasoline spillage on the watercraft. Always wipe up
any spills immediately. Wash out the footwells with
water if fuel or oil spills in those areas.

Use fresh, seasonal gasoline that has been stored in a
clean container. For the best performance from
gasoline, purchase only what is needed for a month or
less of operation.

NOTE: If the fuel or oil levels become low, a warning
light will flash on the NGI display. Proceed to shore
and refuel.

CAUTION

Using a non-recommended fuel may cause serious
engine damage. Polaris recommends the use of 87
octane (or higher) non-oxygenated or 89 octane (or
higher) oxygenated fuel only.

Failure to follow proper refueling instructions can
result in fire or explosion, causing severe injury or
death.

Always stop the engine and disconnect the lanyard
from the engine stop switch before refueling.
