Recommended Fuel and Oil
Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline, available from most service stations
or oxygenated fuel containing a maximum total of 10% of ethanol
or methanol or both. The gasoline used must have the following
recommended minimum octane number.
OCTANE NUMBER
Inside North America
(87 (R + M)/2) or higher
Outside North America
92 RON or higher
CAUTION: Never experiment with other fuels. The use of unrec-
ommended fuel can result on snowmobile performance deteri-
oration and damage to critical parts in fuel system and engine
components.
WARNING
Always stop engine before refueling. Open cap slowly. If a dif-
ferential pressure condition is noticed (whistling sound heard
when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehicle inspected and/or
repaired before further operation. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions. Never use an open flame or
spark in vicinity. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Nev-
er top up the fuel tank before placing the vehicle in a warm
area. As temperature increases, fuel expands and may over-
flow. Always wipe any fuel spillage from the vehicle.
Fuel System Antifreeze
When using oxygenated fuel, additional gas line antifreeze or water
absorbing additives are not required and should be used.
When using non-oxygenated fuel, we highly recommend the use of
isopropyl base gas line antifreeze in a proportion of 150 mL (5 U.S oz)
of gas line antifreeze added to 40 liters (10.5 U.S. gal.) of gas.
This precaution is in order to reduce the risk of frost build-up in car-
buretor which may lead, in certain cases, to high fuel consumption
or severe damage to engine.
NOTE: Use only methyl hydrate free gas line antifreeze.
CAUTION: Never mix oil with fuel. This snowmobile has a
4-stroke engine. Oil must be added to engine base only.
