MAINTENANCE
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable
condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important components are ex-
plained on the following chart and maintenance pages of this manual.
For continued maximum machine performance and component life, it is recom-
mended that maintenance checks be performed at 1000 mile (1600 km) intervals.
Service and adjustments are critical. If you are not familiar with safe service and
adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these operations.
NOTE: The following chart is a guide based on average riding conditions. You may
need to increase frequency based on riding conditions. Inspection may reveal the
need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts available from your
Polaris dealer.
