OPERATION Fuel Recommendations NOTICE: For the best engine performance, to prevent engine damage and to comply with EPA/CARB warranty requirements, use ONLY the recommended diesel fuels. Use only CLEAN diesel fuel. POLARIS recommends the following diesel fuels for use in this vehicle: • Ultra Low Sulfur #2 • #1 Diesel Fuel containing no more than 20% bio-diesel (see page 35) See page 37 for cold weather fuel blend recommendations. For more information about recommended diesel fuels and the consequences of using bio-diesel fuel exceeding 20% biodiesel, see Additional Technical Fuel Requirements below. Diesel fuel should comply with the following world-wide specifications.

Especially in the U.S.A. and Canada, Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm maximum) fuel should be used. • Bio-Diesel fuels: see pages 35-36. • NEVER mix kerosene, used engine oil or residual fuels with diesel fuel. • Water and sediment in the fuel should not exceed 0.05% by volume. • Keep the fuel tank and fuel-handling equipment clean at all times. • Poor quality fuel can reduce engine performance and/or cause engine damage. • Fuel additives are not recommended. Some fuel additives may cause poor engine performance. • Ash content must not exceed 0.01% by volume. • Carbon residue content must not exceed 0.35% by volume. Less than 0.1% is preferred. • Total aromatics content should not exceed 35% by volume. Less than 30% is preferred. • PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) content should be below 10% by volume. • Metal content of Na, Mg, Si and Al should be equal to or lower than 1 mass ppm (test analysis method JPI-5S-44-95). • Lubricity: Wear mark of WS1.4 should be Max. 0.018 in.

Fuel Recommendations
NOTICE:
For the best engine performance, to prevent engine damage and to comply with EPA/CARB
warranty requirements, use ONLY the recommended diesel fuels. Use only CLEAN diesel
fuel.
POLARIS recommends the following diesel fuels for use in this vehicle:
Ultra Low Sulfur #2
#1 Diesel Fuel containing no more than 20% bio-diesel (see page 35)
See page 37 for cold weather fuel blend recommendations. For more information about
recommended diesel fuels and the consequences of using bio-diesel fuel exceeding 20% bio-
diesel, see
Additional Technical Fuel Requirements
below.
Diesel fuel should comply with the following world-wide specifications.
Additional Technical Fuel Requirements
The fuel cetane number should be equal to 45 or higher.
The sulfur content must not exceed 0.15% by volume. Especially in the U.S.A. and
