PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART
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 Polaris dealer.
NOTE: Service and adjustments are critical. 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 10miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and serviced more
frequently.
Severe Use Definition
S Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
S Racing or race-style high RPM use
S Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
S Extended idle
S 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 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 or see your dealer.
Maintenance Chart Key
The following symbols denote potential items to be aware of during maintenance:
H= CAUTION: Due to the nature of these adjustments, it is recommended this service be performed
by an authorized Polaris dealer.
"= SEVERE USE ITEM ----If vehicle is subjected to severe use, decrease interval by 50%
(Severe Use is defined as frequent vehicle immersion in mud, water or sand, racing or race-style high rpm
use, prolonged low speed - heavy load operation or extended idle. More preventative maintenance is
required under these conditions. Fluid changes, cable, chain and chassis lubrication are required more
frequently. For engine oil, short trip cold weather riding also constitutes severe use. Pay special attention
to oil level. A rising oil level in cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or
crankcase. Change oil immediately and monitor level. If oil level begins to rise, discontinue use and
determine cause.)
E= Emission Control System Service (California).
NOTE: Inspection may reveal the need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts.
WARNING: Improperly performing the procedures marked with a
J could result in component failure and lead
to serious injury or death. Have an authorized Polaris dealer perform these services.
