MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Chart
Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace or repair the
emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized
POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for
your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts for
emissions-related service, however equivalent parts can be used.
It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an
aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle’s
emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by
federal law.
Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance
identified in this owner’s manual.
Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest,
most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of
important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When
inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine POLARIS
parts are available from your POLARIS dealer. Equivalent parts may be
used for emissions-related service.
Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If
you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, a
qualified dealer can perform these operations.
Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected and
serviced more frequently.
Severe Use Definition
• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
• Racing or race-style high RPM use
• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
• Extended idle
• Frequent short trip operation in cold weather (engine frequently does
not operate long enough to reach full operating temperature)
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold
weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or
crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise.
Monitor the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and
determine the cause. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
