OPERATION
Fuel Safety
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Always turn off the engine before refueling.
Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refu-
eling is performed or where gasoline is stored.
If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water and change clothing.
Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust fumes
are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time.
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to cause can-
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Operate this vehicle only outdoors
or in well-ventilated areas.
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 110 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.
