Low Oil Level - Polaris 550 Indy 144 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Oil

Low Oil Level

Always maintain the oil level between the "add" mark and the bottle
neck. Do not fill the bottle neck. See page 51 for oil recommendations.
1. Immediately stop the engine
if the low oil indicator light
comes on.
2. Open the right side panel.
3. View the oil level in the oil
bottle.
4. Add oil as needed before
operating.
NOTICE: Operating the
snowmobile without
adequate engine
lubrication can result in
serious engine damage.
Always check the oil level
when refueling. Add oil as
needed.
The oil bottle cap is vented to allow proper oil flow. See your POLARIS
dealer for recommended replacement parts.
Carburetion
NOTICE: Making non-recommended adjustments could result in vehicle or
engine damage as well as denial of warranty claims. We recommend
that all carburetor adjustments be performed by your POLARIS
dealer.
Proper carburetor adjustment is critical. A lean mixture (too much air,
too little fuel) may result in piston burning, bearing failure, or complete
engine failure. A rich mixture (too much fuel, too little air) may foul
plugs and cause generally poor engine performance.
A lean mixture may be caused by things like fuel line restrictions,
foreign matter in the carburetor or clogged fuel filters. A rich mixture
may be caused by snow build-up on the pre-filter in the air intake
system. Either condition may be caused by improper carburetor
adjustment.
