General Maintenance

Oil Filter

The oil filter should be

changed annually or every

1000 miles (1600 km).

Inspect oil line condition at

1000 miles (1600 km).

Polaris oil filters are specially

designed for use on Polaris

products. We strongly recom-

mend the use of only Polaris

replacement parts. See page

66 for oil recommendations.

EDGE models use an oil filter that's built into the oil sending unit

located in the bottom of the oil tank. After changing the oil filter, bleed

the oil injection system of all trapped air. See your dealer for instruc-

tions, or have your dealer perform the filter change and bleeding opera-

tion for you.

NOTE: The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of flow through

the filters.

Water Pump Belt Inspection

Some liquid cooled models require

inspection of the water pump belt at

1500 miles (2400 km). Inspect belt

width (

✪) and condition, and

replace if cracked or worn past the

width service limit (.250I / 6.35

mm). New belt width is approxi-

mately .345I (8.75 mm). See your

Polaris dealer if the belt needs to be

replaced.
