Engine Removal
Because of its design configuration and fastener torque
requirements, Polaris recommends removing the engine,
transmission and rear gearcase as one assembly. Use the
following procedure when engine removal is required.
IMPORTANT: Some engine repair procedures can be
performed without removing the engine assembly
from the vehicle. Refer to “Accessible Engine
Components” on Page 3.15 for further information.
NOTE: The use of an overhead or portable engine
hoist is the only recommended method for removing
and installing the engine / transmission / rear
gearcase assembly.
NOTE: Have an assistant help guide the engine in
and out of the vehicle while using an engine hoist to
prevent personal injury or damage to vehicle
components.
1. If vehicle was recently operated, allow it to cool down
before attempting to perform any work.
2. Clean work area.
3. Thoroughly clean the engine and chassis.
4. Drain appropriate lubricant(s):
• If servicing the engine, drain engine oil.
• If servicing the transmission, drain the lubricant from
the main gearcase and transfer case.
• If servicing the rear gearcase, drain the gearcase
lubricant.
5. Remove the driver’s seat (see Chapter 5).
6. Disconnect (-) negative battery cable.
