Fuel and Oil Recommendations
Use only Polaris 2-cycle oil.
The oil fill is located under the front door. Check the oil level every
time you go boating and add oil as necessary. Do this with the engine
off and the lanyard lock plate removed from the engine stop switch.
To check the oil, first make sure the watercraft is level. Remove the oil
tank cap and look at the oil level, or remove the storage bucket or seat
and check the oil level. Add recommended oil as necessary. Do not
overfill. Wipe up any oil spillage immediately. Visually inspect the oil
for water or foreign matter. If either is present change the oil.
All models are equipped with
an oil level gauge on the
instrumentation. The gauge will
flash a red light if low. Other
models emit a "low oil tone"
when oil is low. Add oil
immediately when your
machine indicates the need.
The use of unrecommended oil could result in engine damage or
poor performance. It will also void your warranty.
If the engine is run without oil, severe engine damage will occur.
If you discover an empty oil tank, have the watercraft serviced
immediately by an authorized Polaris dealer.
Always tighten cap securely to prevent water from
contaminating oil. Severe engine damage will occur if water
becomes mixed into the oil.
