MAINTENANCE/TUNE UP
Maintenance Schedule
Periodic Maintenance Schedule
NOTE: Maintenance intervals are based upon average operating conditions. Watercraft operated in saltwater
require daily corrosion protection and engine flushing, and more frequent maintenance and lubrication.
Fogging kits should be added to all Polaris watercraft. The engine should be fogged if the PWC will not be used for
more than 48 hours.
* Perform every 15 hrs. or one month when operated in salt water. **Perform daily when operated in salt water.
***Bonded rubber couplers-Pre-Season (Annually), 100 hrs, or when pump is disassembled for maintenance.

After washing the engine compartment of the watercraft, protect the metal components with a heavy duty siiicone
based spray lube or other non-flammable metal protectant. Do not use flammable sprays or protectants in the
engine compartment. Do not use petroleum based protectants or lubricants in the engine compartment, as most
are flammable and also may deteriorate rubber components.
Engine Break-In
Carbureted Models: Breaking in a new engine is critical! All Polaris watercraft utilize oil injection, however,you
must add oil to the fuel in the fuel tank for the first tank of fuel only. Mix Polaris Premium 2 cycle oil, or Polaris
Premium Gold Synthetic oil with the first tank of fuel at a 40:1 ratio. After the first tank of fuel/oil mixture is gone,
fill fuel tank with recommended octane fuel only. After any repair where pistons, piston rings, cylinders, or crank
shafts are replaced, the first tank of fuel must be mixed with oil in the above fashion.
FF1™ Models: It is not necessary to mix the first tank of fuel with oil. The FFI ™ system utilizes a fuel injector
for each cylinder, therefore, fuel by itself does not enter any part of the crankcase. Oil is injected into the crank-
case via an oil pump and check valves on the throttle bodies. The extra oil that would be added to the fuel tank
would be passed through the fuel injectors and would not reach internal engine parts.
