Oil Injection System

Always check and fill the oil tank when refueling. See page 50.
NOTICE: Serious engine damage can occur without the proper
lubrication. Check the oil tank level often during the first tank
of fuel. If the oil level doesn't go down, contact your dealer
immediately.

Oil Recommendations

This snowmobile is equipped with a variable exhaust system (VES).
Engine lubrication comes from oil added to the fuel and oil injection
systems. Polaris recommends the use of VES II 2 Cycle Oil for this
engine. See page 105 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause injection
system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. Oils may also be
incompatible and the result could be sludge formation, filter blockage,
and reduced cold weather flow rates. All Polaris oils are compatible
with each other.

Slide Rail and Track Cooling

NOTICE: Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of
the slide rail and track, resulting in premature wear and
failure. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to
allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track
surfaces. Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces or
roads.
