n Oil
Low Oil Indicator Light
The low oil indicator light will alert the operator if the oil level is low.
Visually check for oil in the bottle. Add oil before further operation of
the snowmobile. See page 49 for oil recommendations.
Low Oil Level
Maintaining the proper oil level will prevent system aeration and possi-
ble loss of pumping action, which could result in engine damage. This is
especially important when the machine is operated in mountainous ter-
rain.
NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile without adequate engine lubrication can
result in serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when refu-
eling. Add oil as needed.
Always maintain a visible level of oil in the tank. If oil is not visible,
continued operation may cause serious engine damage. See page 49 for
oil recommendations.
The Polaris oil cap on the oil bottle is vented to allow proper oil flow.
See your Polaris dealer for recommended replacement parts.
