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.
Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on page 98.
Tip: 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
• Frequent or prolonged operation in dusty environments
• Racing or race-style high RPM use
• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
• Extended idle
• Short trip cold weather operation
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.
