FUEL AND OIL
Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline, available from most service stations
or gasohol containing less than 10% of ethanol or methanol. The fuel
used must have an octane number (R + M)/2 of 87 or higher.
NOTE:
In most service station pump octane number corresponds to
(R + M)/2 octane number.
CAUTION:
Never experiment with other fuels. The use of unrec-
ommended fuel can result in snowmobile performance deterio-
ration and damage to critical parts in the fuel system and engine
components.
Recommended Oil
CAUTION:
Never mix brands of 2-cycle oil as chemical reaction
can cause engine damage. Never use outboard or straight min-
eral oils. Use only oil that flows at - 40°C (- 40°F).
Oil is contained in the oil injection reservoir.
Use BOMBARDIER-ROTAX injection oil (P/N 413 802 900 —
12 x 1 L) available from authorized dealer or a suitable equivalent.
This type of oil will flow at temperatures as low as - 40°C (- 40°F). If
unavailable, substitute with BOMBARDIER-ROTAX pre-mix oil (P/N
413 803 100 — 12 x 500 mL).
Always maintain a sufficient amount of recommended oil in the in-
jection oil reservoir.
CAUTION:
Check level and refill every time you refuel. Wipe off
any oil spills. Oil is highly flammable.

WARNING
Never top up the fuel tank before placing the snowmobile in
a warm area. As temperature increases, fuel expands and
might overflow. Fuel is flammable and explosive under cer-
tain conditions. Always wipe off any fuel or oil spillage from
the snowmobile.
