OIL PRESSURE TEST

NOTE
The ProStar 32 engine features a low pressure
lubrication system. Use a low pressure gauge (1–10 psi
/ 6.9–69 kPa) to measure oil pressure.
1. Remove the seat and engine service panel.
2. Clean the area around the main oil gallery plug
located on the stator cover.
3. Remove the plug and install a commercially available
Oil Pressure Gauge which displays a minimum 1-10
psi (6.9–69 kPa) range in 1 psi (6.9 kPa) increments.
NOTE
The plug thread pitch is 1/8 NPTF.
4. Start engine and allow it to reach operating
temperature, monitoring gauge indication.
NOTE
Test results are based on the use of the recommended
engine oil (Polaris PS-4) at operating temperature, and
may vary considerably if any other oil is used or if
engine is not up to temperature.
