MAINTENANCE

Engine Intake Restrictor Plate

Some RANGER 800 models are equipped with an intake restrictor plate

in order to meet vehicle class regulations. This plate MUST NOT be

removed for any reason. Removal of the intake restrictor plate will void

the warranty on the vehicle.

Engine Oil

Always check and change the engine oil at the intervals outlined in the

Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 62. Always change the

oil filter whenever changing oil.

WARNING! Vehicle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated

engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine seizure,

accident, and injury. Always perform the maintenance procedures as outlined in

the Periodic Maintenance Chart.

Oil Recommendations

Polaris recommends the use of Polaris PS-4 PLUS Performance Syn-

thetic 2W-50 4-cycle oil or a similar oil. See page 116 for the part num-

bers of Polaris products.

NOTICE: Mixing brands or using a non-recommended oil may cause serious

engine damage. Always use the recommended oil. Never substitute

or mix oil brands.
