Fuel Filter
When the fuel tank needs cleaning or if water is found in the gas tank have the wa-
tercraft serviced immediately by an authorized Polaris dealer.
Oil Filter
The in-line oil filter is a special type
and must not be substituted. The fil-
ter should be changed annually by
an authorized Polaris dealer during
the pre-season inspection. Do not
attempt to clean this filter.
The fuel filter and fuel lines should be inspected regularly. Special attention
should be given to fuel system line condition after periods of storage. Nor-
mal deterioration from weathering and fuel compounds can occur. See your
dealer if you suspect any deteriorated components.
Carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor isvital to engine operation and performance. Adjustment of the car-
buretor should only be done by an authorized Polaris dealer. Idle speed can also
be adjusted by your dealer.
The carburetor was set at the factory and is very sensitive if adjusted. Do not at-
tempt to change the settings or engine damage and poor performance could result.
NOTE:
If the watercraft will be used at a high altitude, above 3000 feet (1 000 m), have an
authorized Polaris dealer adjust the carburetor to allow for the thinner atmosphere.
