OPERATION
Fuel
Fuel Reserve Capacity
There are approximately two gallons of fuel left in the tank when the
fuel gauge indicates reserve (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 112 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.
Oil
Low Oil Level
Always do a visual check of the oil level
when refueling. When the oil reaches the
low level mark, add one U.S. quart of
recommended oil to the tank. See page 55
for oil recommendations.
The Polaris oil cap on the oil tank may be
vented to allow proper oil flow. See your
Polaris d ealer for recommended
replacement parts.
Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage
paint. Always protect paint ed surfaces when handling fuel.
