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 dealer for recommended

replacement parts.

Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage

paint. Always protect painted surfaces when handling fuel.
