OPERATION
Fuel
Premium Fuel Switch
If you’re uncertain about the quality or octane rating of the fuel you use, turn your key switch to “ON/REG.” The “Premium fuel” light will go out. This setting will adjust the timing of your engine to run on fuels with 87 octane or higher. Polaris does not recommend using fuel with lower than 87 octane. Running your machine on “ON/REG” will help protect your engine from damage caused by low octane fuels.
Fuel Reserve Capacity
On models equipped with fuel reserve, there are approximately two gallons of fuel left in the tank when the fuel gauge reads “RES.”
Fuel System Deicers
If you use
Never use deicers or additives containing methanol.
If you use oxygenated fuel containing ethanol, additional alcohol deicers or water absorbing additives are not required and should not be used.
CAUTION
Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage paint. Always protect painted surfaces when handling fuel.
