FUEL _
Recommended Gasoline
Use regular leaded or unleaded gasoline
available from all service stations.
. . . CAUTION: Never experiment
. . with different fuel or fuel ratios.
Never use naphtha, methanol, gaso-
hol or similar products. .
.... WARNING: Never "top up" the
T
gas tank before placing the vehi-
cle in a warm area. At certain tempera-
tures, gasoline will expand and over-
flow. Always wipe off any gasoline
spillage from the snowmobile.
Recommended Oil
Use BLIZZARD oil (PIN
496
0135 00
500 rnl) available from your dealer. This
type of oil will flow at temperatures as
low as minus 40°C (-40°F).
It is a blend of specially selected base
oils and additives which provides out-
standing lubrication, engine cleanliness
and minimum spark plug fouling.
If BLIZZARD oil is unavailable, substitute
with Bombardier Snowmobile Injection
Oil (PIN
496
0133 00 1 liter).
. . , CAUTION: Never use outboard
. . or straight mineral oils.
Fuel Mixture Ratio It Mixing
Procedure
Oil must be added to the gasoline in pre-
measured amounts then both oil and
gasoline should be thoroughly mixed
together before fueling the tank.
The importance of using the correct fuel
mixture cannot be overstressed. An in-
correct fuel ratio results in serious
engine damage. Recommended fuel
ratio is
50/1 (40/1
during break-in
period).

NOTE: To facilitate fuel mixing, oil
should be kept at room tempera-
ture.
To mix the gasoline and oil always use
a separate clean container. Never mix
directly in your snowmobile tank. For
best results, acquire two containers,
either plastic or metal. Draw from one
until empty then use the second one .
.... WARNING: Gasoline is flamma-
T
ble and explosive under certain
conditions. Always manipulate in a
well ventilated area. Do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks in the vici-
nity. If gasoline fumes are noticed
while driving, the cause should be de-
termined and corrected without delay.
Never add fuel while the engine is run-
ning. Avoid skin contact with fuel at
below freezing temperatures.
