OPERATION n Oil Low Oil Indicator Light The low oil indicator light may flicker at times due to oil movement in the bottle, but when the light comes on and remains on, add the recommended oil before further operation. Visually check the oil level in 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. Low Oil Level Maintaining the proper oil level will prevent system aeration and possible loss of pumping action, which could result in engine damage. This is especially important when the machine is operated in mountainous terrain. NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile without adequate engine lubrication can result in serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when refueling. Add oil as needed. Always maintain a visible level of oil in the tank. If oil is not visible, continued operation may cause serious engine damage. See page 66 for oil recommendations. The POLARIS oil cap on the oil bottle is vented to allow proper oil flow. See your POLARIS dealer for recommended replacement parts. 71

OPERATION

Oil
Low Oil Indicator Light
The low oil indicator light may flicker at times due to oil movement in
the bottle, but when the light comes on and remains on, add the recom-
mended oil before further operation.
Visually check the oil level in the bottle. The engine may be operated as
long as oil is visible in the oil tank. If oil is not visible, continued opera-
tion may cause serious engine damage.
Low Oil Level
Maintaining the proper oil level will prevent system aeration and possi-
ble loss of pumping action, which could result in engine damage. This is
especially important when the machine is operated in mountainous ter-
rain.
NOTICE:
Operating the snowmobile without adequate engine lubrication can
result in serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when refu-
eling. Add oil as needed.
Always maintain a visible level of oil in the tank. If oil is not visible,
continued operation may cause serious engine damage. See page 66 for
oil recommendations.
The POLARIS oil cap on the oil bottle is vented to allow proper oil
flow. See your POLARIS dealer for recommended replacement parts.
