MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Minor Maintenance
Choke Cable Inspection
Pull the choke knob to make sure the choke cable is operating
smoothly.
When the knob is pulled out the choke valve is fully closed; when the
knob is in, the valve is fully open. There should be minimal choke
cable slack. If the choke is not functioning properly, have it serviced by
your authorized Polaris dealer.
