Periodic Maintenance Chart
Periodic Maintenance Overview
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 10 miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and serviced 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 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.

SEVERE USE ITEM: 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 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.
NOTE: Inspection may reveal the need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts.
Improperly performing the procedures marked with a ■ could result in component failure and lead to serious injury or
death. Have an authorized Polaris dealer perform these services.
