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.
