MAINTENANCE

Filter Systems

Air Filter

Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50. Service the air filter more fre-
quently if the vehicle is operated in wet conditions or at high throttle
openings for extended periods.

1. Lift the cargo box to

access the air box.

2. Remove the air box

cover and inspect the
gasket. It should adhere
tightly to the cover and
seal all the way around.

3. Remove the air filter.

4. Do not attempt to clean

the main element.
Install a new air filter.

Tip: Apply a small amount of

general purpose grease to
the sealing edges of the
filter before installing.

5. Inspect the air box for

oil or water deposits. If present, drain them into a suitable container.

Fuel Filter

Your POLARIS vehicle is equipped with an in-line fuel filter. Have your
dealer replace it after every 100 hours of operation. Do not attempt to
clean the fuel filter.
