MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil
Oil Change
Always change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Mainte-
nance Table beginning on page 100. Clean the foam oil breather element
with each engine oil change. See page 112.
Always use the recommended oil. See page 104, or see your Polaris
dealer about oil change kits, which contain a new filter and the recom-
mended oil.
NOTE: A special jumper harness is required for changing the oil on this vehi-
cle. Please see your Polaris dealer to purchase the harness, which will
allow you to use the ignition key to turn over the engine without start-
ing it. You may also need an assistant to help with the oil change.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Make sure the engine coolant temperature is between 145 and 160
degrees F. (63-71 degrees C). If necessary, start the engine and
allow it to idle until the coolant temperature is within the specified
range.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Open the hood and remove the left side panel.
NOTE: Clamp orientation is critical to the proper operation of the system. Be
aware of clamp placement and orientation when removing hose
clamps. Always reinstall hose clamps in the same location and posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Hot oil and a hot exhaust system and engine can cause serious burns. Do
not allow hot oil or hot components to contact skin.
