Ski-Doo 440 - Fuel Mixing Procedures; Mixing and Saving Fuel

f
The Fuel Consumption table must be
construed
as approximate only. Results
have been obtained by running static
tests under full load, but cannot take into
account such factors
as snow conditions,
carburetor adjustments, etc.
Fuel Mixing Procedure
To mix the gasoline and oil always use a
separate clean container. Never mix
directly
in your snowmobile tank.
Note: For best results, acquire two con-
tainers, either plastic or metal. Draw from
one until empty then use the second one.
Meanwhile, refill the first
as soon as con-
venient.
WARNING: Gasoline is flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
Store in a well ventilated area. Always
stop the engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling. If gasoline
fumes are noticed while driving, the
cause
should be determined and cor-
rected without delay.
1. Pour the full amount of Ski-Doo oil
required for the total mixture into the
container.
2. Add approximately half the amount of
gasoline to be mixed.
3. Shake the container thoroughly.
4. Add the remainder of the gasoline.
5. Once again thoroughly agitate the
container.
6. Using a funnel with a fine mesh screen
to prevent the entry of water and foreign
particles, transfer the mixture from the
container into the snowmobile tank.
Fuel Saving Tips
While waiting for companions to catch
up, or when stopping to rest on the trail,
turn your ignition
OFF. Not only do you
save fuel, but you lessen the chance of
spark plug fouling. Besides, a warmed-
up Ski-Doo snowmobile engine is
excep-
tionally easy to start.
