OPERATION
Pre-Operation Inspection
Oil
The oil fill cap (1) is located
under the front compartment
door. Check the oil level
before each use of the vehicle
and add oil as necessary. Make
sure the engine is off and the
safety lanyard is removed
from the engine stop switch before adding oil.
Polaris synthetic 2-cycle oils are formulated to work
with your watercraft engine. They’ve been thoroughly
tested to provide the ultimate in performance and
protection. Our biodegradable synthetic 2-cycle oil is
also environmentally friendly. See page 101 for part
numbers of Polaris products.
1. Place the watercraft in a level position.
2. Remove the oil fill cap and check the oil level.
3. Add the recommended oil. Fill to within several
inches of the fill hole opening. NOTE: Do not
fill all the way to the opening. Wipe up any spills
immediately.
4. Visually inspect the oil for water or foreign matter.
If either is present, see your Polaris dealer for
service.
A warning light on the NGI display will flash if oil is
low (1/8 tank or less). Add oil promptly.
CAUTION
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil
may cause serious engine damage. We
recommend the use of Polaris synthetic 2-cycle
oils. Never mix oil brands.

CAUTION
If the engine is operated without oil, severe
damage will occur. If you discover an empty oil
tank, see an authorized Polaris dealer immediately
for service.
Severe engine damage will occur if water
becomes mixed into the oil. Always tighten the oil
fill cap securely.
