Low Oil Indicator Light
The low oil indicator light will indicate when to add oil. S ee page 51
for oil recommendations.
When the low oil indicat or light is on, oil should be added before
further operation of the snowmobile. Visually check the oil level i n the
bottle. The engine may be operated as long as oil is visible in the oil
tank. If oil is not visible, continued operation may cause serious
engine damage.
Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause
injection system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. They
may also be i ncompatible and the result could be sludge formation,
filter blockage, and reduced cold weather flow rates. All Polaris oils
are compatible with each other.
Always maintain the oil level above the tank’s low level line. This is
especially important when the machine is operated in mountainous
terrain. Maintaining the proper oil level will prevent system aeration
and possible loss of pumping action, which could result in engine
damage.
CAUTION
Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious
engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris 2-cycle oils
for your snowmobile. Never mix brands.
CAUTION
Operating the snowmobile without proper engine lubrication can
result in serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when
refueling.
