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 recommended oil before further operation. See page 47 for oil recommendations. 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. Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause injection system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. They may also be incompatible 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 snowmobile 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. NOTICE: 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. Operating the snowmobile without proper engine lubrication can result in serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when refueling. 52
