OPERATION

Fuel

For peak performance, Polaris recommends the use of 91 octane or

higher fuel. Although 87 octane fuel is usable, some engine perfor-

mance will be lost and fuel economy will decrease. Do not use fuel

lower than 87 octane.

Fuel Level

The fuel symbol and the last fuel bar on the MFD gauge will blink when

the fuel level reaches 1/8th tank. There will be one to two gallons of fuel

remaining. Refuel as soon as possible.

NOTE: Restarting the engine will be more difficult if the snowmobile

runs out of fuel. Do not allow the snowmobile to run out of fuel.

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 ml per liter) of gasoline to prevent engine damage resulting from

fuel system icing and lean fuel mixtures. Never use deicers or additives

containing methanol. Polaris also recommends the use of Carbon Clean

Plus. See page 124 for the part numbers of Polaris products.

If you use oxygenated fuel containing ethanol, additional alcohol deic-

ers or water absorbing additives should not be used.

CAUTION

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.
