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 milliliters per liter) of gasoline to prevent engine damage

resulting from fuel system icing and lean fuel mixtures. Never use

deicers or additives containing methanol. See page 134 for the part

numbers of Polaris products.
If you use oxygenated fuel containing ethanol, additional alcohol

deicers or water absorbing additives are not required and should not be

used.

CAUTION

Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage

paint. Always protect painted surfaces when handling fuel.
