MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Minor Maintenance
Oil Filter
The in-line oil filter is a special type and must not be substituted.
The filter should be changed annually by an authorized Polaris
dealer during the pre-season inspection. Do not attempt to clean
this filter.
The fuel lines should be inspected regularly. Special attention
should be given to fuel system line condition after periods of
storage. Normal deterioration from weathering and fuel
compounds can occur. See your dealer if you suspect any
deteriorated components.
Carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor is vital to engine operation and performance.
Adjustment of the carburetor 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 attempt 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 (1000 m), have an authorized Polaris dealer adjust the carburetor to
allow for the thinner atmosphere. Polaris Direct Injected engines
compensate for high altitude automatically.
