be changed more frequently if Polaris oil is not used. Always use 2W-50
oil. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for ambient tempera-
ture operation.

engine damage. Always use the recommended oil. Never substitute
or mix oil brands.
Oil Specifications
Oil Level
Maintain the oil level at the center of the sight glass. Do not overfill.

immediately.

level surface.
2. View the oil level through
the sight glass on the right
