PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most
reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important
components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When
inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine POLARIS parts
available from your authorized dealer.
Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log section at the end of
the manual.
Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not
familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer
perform these operations.
Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average riding
conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 16 kilometers per
hour (10 mph). Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and
serviced more frequently.
SEVERE USE DEFINITION
• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
• Frequent or prolonged operation in dusty environments
• Short trip cold weather operation
• Racing or race-style high RPM use
• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
• Extended idle
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can
indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil
immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the oil level, and if it continues
to rise, discontinue use and determine the cause. Your dealer can assist.
ELEVATING THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE
Some service procedures require elevation of the vehicle. Always position the
vehicle on a firm, level surface before elevating. Do not position a jack or jack
stand under any components other than the frame.
Use an appropriate lift or floor jack. This vehicle is not equipped with dedicated
jacking points. Place the floor jack at the front (or rear) of the vehicle, directly
under the center of the unit. Make sure the floor jack makes contact only with the
frame of the vehicle while lifting
