MAINTENANCE
* Fog The Engine - 2 Strokes - Polaris Fogging Oil (PN 2870791)
follow directions on the can. 4-Strokes
- Rem ov e the spar k plug and
add 2-3 tablespoons of Prem i um 4 Synthetic 0W40 engine oil. To
acces s the plug hole use a secti on of cl ear 1/4″ hose and a smal l
plas ti c squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil .
Note: Do this carefully! If you miss the plug hole, oil will drain from
the spark plug cav i ty out the hole at the front of the cyl i nder head,
and appear to be an oil leak . Installthe sparkpl ug and pull the engine
over slowly with the recoil starter. Oil will be forced in and around the
pis ton ri ngs and ring lands , coating the cyl i nder wi th a protecti v e fil m
of fresh oil .
Check and Lubricate Cables / Grease - Inspect all cables and
lubricate with Polaris Cable Lubricant. Follow lubrication guide-
lines in the Maintenance Section of the Service or Owner’s Manual
to completely grease and lubricate the entire vehicle with Polaris
Premium All Season Grease. Apply Polaris O-ring Chain Lube to
the drive cha in(s).
Battery Maintenance - Remove the battery and add distilled wa-
ter as required to the proper level. Do not use tap water which may
contain minerals that reduce battery life. Apply Polaris Di-Electric
Grease to the terminal bolts and terminals. Charge the battery at
1.4 amps or less until specific gravity of each cell is 1.265 or great-
er. Store the battery in a cool, dry, place. Charge can be main-
tained easily by using Polaris Battery Tendert charger (PN
2871076) or by charging about once a month to make up for nor-
mal self-discharge. Battery Tendert can be left connected during
the storage period, and will automatically charge the battery if the
voltage drops below a pre-determined point. The only thing you
need to do is check the fluid level once a month.
Engine Anti- Freeze - Test engine coolant strength and change if
necessary. Coolant should be replaced every 2 years.
Storage Area/Covers - Set tire pressure and safely support the
ATV with the tires 1-2″ off the ground. Be sure the storage area is
well ventilated. Cover the mac hi ne wi th a genuine Polar i s ATV cover.
NOTE: Do not use plas ti c or coated mater i al s . They do not allow
enough venti l ati on to prevent condensati on, and may prom ote corr o-
si on and oxi dati on.
