OPERATION Fuel Recommendation For peak performance, POLARIS recommends the use of 91 octane fuel or higher. Although 87 octane fuel is usable, some engine performance will be lost and fuel economy will decrease. Do not use lower than 87 octane fuel. Do not use fuel containing more than 10% ethanol. Never use E85 in your snowmobile). NOTICE: Operating with obstructed fuel systems will result in serious engine damage. Always perform maintenance as recommended. Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage paint. Always protect painted surfaces when handling fuel. Fuel System Deicers If you use non-ethanol fuel (sometimes labeled "non-oxygenated"), POLARIS recommends the regular use of isopropyl-based fuel system deicer. Add one to two ounces per gallon (8-16 ml per liter) of gasoline to prevent damage resulting from fuel system icing. Never use deicers or additives containing methanol. POLARIS also recommends the use of Carbon Clean. See page 116 for the part numbers of POLARIS products. If you use fuel with up to 10% ethanol (sometimes labeled "oxygenated") do not add deicers or additives that contain any form of alcohol. 63
