Fuel
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
• Always refuel with the engine stopped, and outdoors or in a well
ventilated area.
• Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where
refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored.
• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water and change clothing.
• Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust
fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or death in a
short time.
• Turn the fuel valve off whenever the snowmobile is stored or parked.
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Operate this vehicle only
outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.
Your Polaris engine is designed to run on 87 octane non-oxygenated or
89 octane oxygenated pump gasoline. There's a great deal of variability
in the quality of the 87 octane gasoline available, so we encourage the
use of premium fuel when possible. Do not use lower than 87 octane
fuel. Do not use fuel containing more than 10% ethanol (including E85).
NOTICE: Using fuels with a lower than recommended octane or
operating with obstructed fuel systems will result in serious
and costly engine damage. Always use the recommended
fuels for your machine.
