MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Chart

Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest,

most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of

important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When

inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine Polaris

parts available from your Polaris dealer.
Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on

page 125.
Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If

you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have a

qualified dealer perform these operations.
Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average

riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10

miles per hour (16 km/h). Vehicles subjected to severe use must be

inspected and serviced more frequently.
Severe Use Definition
• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
• Racing or race-style high RPM use
• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
• Extended idle
• Short trip cold weather operation
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold

weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crank-

case. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the

oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the

cause or see your dealer.
