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 126 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.
Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage
paint. Always protect paint ed surfaces when handling fuel.
