OPERATION
Oil
n 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 58 for oil recommendations.
NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile without adequate engine lubrication can
result in serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when
refueling. Add oil as needed.
n 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.
Maintain the oil level at the bottom of the filler neck. Always check and
fill the oil tank when refueling. Never operate the engine if oil is not vis-
ible in the tank.
TIP:The Polaris oil cap on the oil bottle is vented to allow proper oil flow. See
your Polaris dealer for recommended replacement parts.
