PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
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 Pure Polaris parts
available from your Polaris dealer.
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 mph (16 km/h). 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.

WARNING
BREAK-IN PERIOD
The break-in period consists of the first 25 hours of
operation. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive
components will result in more efficient performance and
longer life for these components.
• Drive vehicle slowly at first while varying the throttle
position. Do not operate at sustained idle.
• Perform regular checks on fluid levels and other areas
outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist.
• Change both the engine oil and filter after 25 hours or
one month.
• See "Owner's Manual" for additional break-in
information.
