OPERATION

Engine Break-In

Oil Injection System

Always check and fill the oil tank when refueling. See page 71.

NOTICE: Serious engine damage can occur without the proper lubrication.

Check the oil tank level often during the first tank of fuel. If the oil level

doesn't go down, contact your dealer immediately.

Oil Recommendations

This snowmobile is equipped with a variable exhaust system (VES).

Engine lubrication comes from oil added to the fuel and oil injection

systems. Polaris recommends the use of VES II 2 Cycle Oil for this

engine. See page 118 for the part numbers of Polaris products.

Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause injection

system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. Oils may also be

incompatible and the result could be sludge formation, filter blockage,

and reduced cold weather flow rates. All Polaris oils are compatible

with each other.

Slide Rail and Track Cooling

NOTICE: Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide

rail and track, resulting in premature wear and failure. Reduce speeds

and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow adequate cooling and

polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid operating on ice,

hard-packed surfaces or roads.
