MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Chart
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in safe, reli-
able condition. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as nec-
essary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use
genuine POLARIS parts available from your POLARIS dealer. Record
maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on page
144.
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 rid-
ing conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10 miles
per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and ser-
viced more frequently.
Severe Use Definition
Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
Racing or race-style high RPM use
Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
Extended idle
Short trip cold weather operation
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold
weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crank-
case. 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 or see your dealer.
