MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor is vital to engine operation and performance.
Adjustment of the carburetor should only be done by an authorized
Polaris dealer. Idle speed can also be adjusted by your dealer.
NOTE: If the watercraft will be used at a high altitude, above 3000
feet (1000 m), have an authorized Polaris dealer adjust the carburetor to
allow for the thinner atmosphere. P olaris Direct Injected engines
compensate for high altitude automatically.
Steering Cable Inspection
1. The handlebars and steering nozzle should operate smoothly. If
movement is stiff, see your authorized P olaris dealer for service.
2. Turn the handlebars from lock to lock and check to be sure that the
clearances between the steering nozzle and the rear hull are even on
both sides. If t he alignment is not even, see your authorized Polaris
dealer for service.
Throttle Cable Inspection
1. Depress and release the throttle
lever. It should return to its
initial position smoothly. If it
doesn’t, see your authorized
Polaris dealer for service.
2. Throttle lever free-play should
not exceed .020″-.060″ (.5-1.5
mm). If it does, see your
authorized Polaris dealer for
service.
Changing the settings on the carburetor could result in poor
performance or engine damage. Do not attempt to change the
carburetor settings.
