OPERATION
Driving your snowmobile with extremely low fuel level may cause fuel
The low fuel indicator warning appears on your instrument cluster when the fuel
tank reaches 2 gallons of remaining fuel. When this occurs, Polaris recommends
riders adjust their riding style to conserve fuel and find the nearest fuel station to
re-fuel. Riders who wish to calculate the maximum full-tank vehicle range should
do so after the fuel injector break-in and oil enrichment modes expire. See page
123 for more information.
MPG and maximum range calculations are highly variable and can be
inconsistent between comparable models. Factors such as riding style,
weather and trail conditions, accessories, track type, etc. will provide
Matryx models utilize fuel tank designs that can allow the rider to consume
almost all of the available fuel in the tank. Polaris recommends riders heed the

FUEL SYSTEM DEICERS
If you use non-ethanol fuel (sometimes labeled "non-oxygenated"), POLARIS
recommends the regular use of isopropyl-based fuel system deicer. Add 1-2
ounces per gallon (8-16 ml per liter) of gasoline to prevent damage resulting
from fuel system icing. Never use deicers or additives containing methanol.
POLARIS recommends the use of Carbon Clean.
If you use fuel with up to 10% ethanol (sometimes labeled "oxygenated") do
not add deicers or additives that contain any form of alcohol. Adding deicer to
oxygenated fuels could result in severe engine damage.
