Fuel; Recommended Gasoline, Recommended Oil, Fuel Mixture Ratio, Fuel Mixing Pro- Cedure, Fuel/Oil Mixing Charts - BOMBARDIER Alpine 1983 Operator's Manual

FUEL
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.
Recommended gasoline
Use regular leaded or unleaded gaso-
line available from all service stations.
. . CAUTION: Never experiment
Y
with different fuel or fuel ratios.
Never use naphtha, methanol or similar
products.
..... WARNING: Never 'top up' the
' I JIIIIlII' "
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 "Bombardier Snowmobile Injection
OW' (PIN 496 0133 00-1 liter) 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 clean-
liness and minimum spark plug fouling.
If "Bombardier Snowmobile Injection
Oil" is unavailable, substitute with
II
Bombardier 50:1 Snowmobile OW'.
~
CAUTION: Never use outboard
.... or straight mineral oils.
Fuel mixture ratio
The importance of using the correct
fuel mixture cannot be overstressed.
An incorrect 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 tem-
perature.
Fuel mixing procedure
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-
' I JIIIIlII' "
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.
1. Pour approximately 4 liters (one
gallon) of gasoline into a clean con-
tainer.
2. Add the full amount of oil required.
