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. If oil is not visible, continued opera-
tion may cause serious engine damage. Add oil before further operation
of the snowmobile. See page 51 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.
Always check the oil level when refueling. When the oil reaches the low
level mark, add one quart (.9 l) of recommended oil to the tank. See
page 51 for oil recommendations.
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.
The Polaris oil cap on the oil bottle may be vented to allow proper oil
flow. See your Polaris dealer for recommended replacement parts.
