OPERATION Pre-Operation Inspection Oil 1. Place the watercraft in a level position. 2. Remove the oil fill cap and check the oil level. 3. Add the recommended oil. Fill to within several inches of the fill hole opening. NOTE: Do not fill all the way to the opening. Wipe up any spills immediately. 4. Visually inspect the oil for water or foreign matter. If either is present, see your Polaris dealer for service. A warning light on the NGI display will flash if oil is low (1/8 tank or less). Add oil promptly. CAUTION Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious engine damage. We recommend the use of Polaris synthetic 2-cycle oils. Never mix oil brands.
The oil fill cap (1) is located under the front compartment door. Check the oil level before each use of the vehicle and add oil as necessary. Make sure the engine is off and the safety lanyard is removed from the engine stop switch before adding oil. Polaris synthetic 2-cycle oils are formulated to work with your watercraft engine. They’ve been thoroughly tested to provide the ultimate in performance and protection. Our biodegradable synthetic 2-cycle oil is also environmentally friendly. See page 101 for part numbers of Polaris products. 1 CAUTION If the engine is operated without oil, severe damage will occur.
If you discover an empty oil tank, see an authorized Polaris dealer immediately for service. Severe engine damage will occur if water becomes mixed into the oil. Always tighten the oil fill cap securely. 42
