MAINTENANCE
Fuel Filter/Fuel Lines
See your Polaris dealer for replacement of the under-tank fuel filter
every 1000 miles (or annually).
Inspect the fuel lines regularly for signs of deterioration or damage.
Always check fuel line condition after periods of storage. Normal dete-
rioration from weather and fuel compounds may occur. Replace worn
or damaged fuel lines promptly.
n
Cooling System
Inspect the fan intake and outlet edge seal at the input and output for
cracks, loosening of duct and blockage or obstructions. Make any neces-
sary repairs promptly.
Exhaust System
Check the exhaust system for wear or damage at approximately 2000
miles (3200 km). Always allow the engine and exhaust system to cool
completely before inspecting.
1. Open the hood and inspect the muffler and pipes for cracks or dam-
age.
2. Check for weak or missing retaining springs or damper/support
grommets.
3. Check for loose clamps on the pipe covers.
NOTICE
Kinking the fuel lines or using a pliers or similar tools to remove fuel lines
may cause damage to the lines. If a fuel line has been damaged or kinked,
replace it promptly.
CAUTION
Hot exhaust system parts can cause burns. Allow adequate time for the
exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine run-
ning.
