OPERATION
Fuel
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
• Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
• Always turn off the engine before refueling.
• Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refu-
eling is performed or where gasoline is stored.
• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water and change clothing.
• Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust fumes
are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time.
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to cause can-
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Operate this vehicle only outdoors
or in well-ventilated areas.
Fuel Recommendation
For peak performance, Polaris recommends the use of 91 octane fuel or
higher. Although 87 octane fuel is usable, some engine performance will
be lost and fuel economy will decrease. Do not use lower than 87 octane
fuel. Do not use fuel containing more than 10% ethanol. Never use E85
fuel in your snowmobile.
NOTICE: Operating with obstructed fuel systems will result in serious engine
damage. Perform maintenance as recommended.
Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage paint.
Always protect painted surfaces when handling fuel.
