PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace or repair the emission
control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer can
perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also
recommends POLARIS parts for emissions-related service, however equivalent
parts may be used for such service.
It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket
parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle's emission controls.
Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.
Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in
this owner's manual.
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, genuine POLARIS parts are
available from your POLARIS dealer.
Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log at the end of the
manual.
CAUTION
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
• 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.
