OPERATION

Fuel

Fuel Reserve Capacity (Mechanical Gauge)

There are approximately two gallons of fuel left in the tank when the

mechanical fuel gauge reads 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 109 for the part numbers of

Polaris products.

If you use oxygenated fuel containing ethanol, additional alcohol deic-

ers or water absorbing additives are not required and should not be used.

CAUTION

Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage paint. Always

protect painted surfaces when handling fuel.
