1. After the engine is completely assembled and ready for
installation, the engine must be properly primed with
Polaris 0W-40 Synthetic Oil (PN 2871281). Fill the oil
filter three-quarters full with Polaris 0W-40 Synthetic Oil
(PN 2871281). Let the oil soak into the filter for 8-10
minutes. Install the filter onto the engine.
2. Remove primer plug from the engine. Install Oil System
Priming Adapter (PU-45778) into the oil plug hole. Push
3-5 oz. (approx.) of Polaris 0W-40 into the adapter or until
resistance is felt. Remove the adapter. Apply sealant to the
plug threads. Install the plug and torque to specification.
ENGINE INSTALLATION
Engine Assembly and Installation
Use the following procedure to reinstall the engine assembly.
Assemble the engine to the transmission on a work bench prior
to installation.
1. Support the transmission / rear gearcase assembly while
setting the engine in place.
NOTE: A small number of vehicles were
manufactured with shims placed between the rear
transmission casting ear and the engine crankcase.
Be sure to use the same amount of shims upon
reassembly.
If shims were present upon disassembly but have
since been misplaced, look near the rear
transmission casting ear for the shim thickness
specification that is scribed into the casting.
NOTE: A small number of vehicles were
manufactured with an added support bracket
mounted between the engine and transmission.
Refer to the following image for torque
specifications. Snug the rear gearcase fasteners
first, followed by the engine fasteners.
