OPERATION
Pre-Operation Inspection
Oil
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious
engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris Synthetic
2--Cycle Oil. Never mix oil brands.
The oil fill cap (1) is located under the front compartment door. Check
the oil level before each use of the vehicle and add oil as necessary.
Make sure the engine is off and the safety lanyard is removed from the
engine stop switch before adding oil.
Polaris Synthetic 2- -Cycle Oil is formulated to work with your
watercraft engine. It's been thoroughly tested to provide the ultimate
performance and protection. See page 103 for a list of
Polaris-recommended products.
1. Place the watercraft in a level position.
2. Remove the oil fill cap and check
the oil level, or remove the storage
bucket or seat and check the oil level.
3. Add the recommended oil as
necessary. NOTE: Do not overfill.
Wipe up any oil spills immediately.
4. 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 oil is low (1/8 tank or less). Add oil
immediately.
Read the oil recommendations found on page 54 for proper lubrication
during the break-in period.
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.
Severe engine damage will occur if water becomes mixed into the
oil. Always tighten the oil fill cap securely to prevent water from
contaminating the oil.
