Checking Engine Oil Level


NOTE: The snowmobile must be
on a level surface for this procedure.
CAUTION
If the engine and oil are not at oper-
ating temperature the oil will not
read correctly in the oil level tube.
1. Start the engine and let it idle and
warm up until the engine reaches
operating temperature.
2. Shut the engine off. Remove the
right-side access panel; then look at
the oil level tube on the backside of
the oil tank. The oil should be above
the MIN line and below the MAX
line.
3. If step 1 and 2 was followed and the
oil level is not within the "MAX to
MIN" range, add the recommended
engine oil through the oil tank fill
hole.

NOTE: Care must be taken not to
over-fill the oil tank.
4. Install the oil fill plug.

Changing Engine Oil/Filter

WARNING
Engine oil is extremely hot immedi-
ately after the engine is turned off.
Burning could occur if oil contacts
skin or clothing.

NOTE: Recycle or properly dis-
pose of the used engine oil.
