MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Engine Oil
Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53. We recommend the
use of Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic engine oil.
Oil Check
The oil dipstick and fill tube (1) is located on the engine.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Apply the brakes. Start the
engine and let it idle for 20-30
seconds, then stop the engine.
3. Lift the lever l ock (2) to remove
the dipstick. Wipe it dry with a
clean cloth.
4. Reinstall the dipstick completely,
but do not lock it. The dipstick
must be screwed completely in to
keep the angle and depth of the
stick consistent.
5. Remove the dipstick
and check the oil level.
Maintain the oil level
in the safe range (3).
Do not overfill.
NOTE: Due to the dipstick entry
angle into the
crankcase, the oil level
will read higher on the
bottom s ide of the
dipstick. Always r ead
the level on the upper
surface (4) of the dipstick.
6. After reinstalling the dipstick, be
sure to seat the lever l ock.
