Fuel Mixing Procedure
To mix the gasoline and oil always use
a separate clean container. Never mix
directly in your snowmobile tank. For
best results, acquire two containers,
either or metal. Draw from one
until empty then use the second one.

. . . ble and explosive under certain
conditions. Always manipulate in
a
well ventilated area. Do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks in the vici-
nity. If gasoline fumes are noticed
while driving, the cause should be
de-
termined and corrected without delay.
Never add fuel while the engine is run-
ning. Avoid skin contact with fuel at
below freezing temperature.

gasoline into a clean container,
