MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Schedule

Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable
condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication intervals of important compo-
nents are explained in the following chart
Maintenance intervals are based upon average riding conditions and a vehicle
speed of approximately 10 miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use, such
as operation in wet or dusty areas, should be inspected and serviced more fre-
quently. If you are not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have
a qualified dealer perform these operations.
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust or replace parts as necessary. NOTE: Inspection
may reveal the need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts
available from your Polaris dealer.
Service and adjustments are critical. If you are not familiar with safe service and
adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these operations.
CAUTION: Due to the nature of these adjustments, it is recommended that
J
service be performed by an authorized Polaris dealer. Do not attempt to perform
this work unless you are familiar with mechanical repair.
