PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART
Inspection, adjustment and lubrication intervals of important components is listed in the following chart.
Maintenance intervals are based upon average riding conditions and a vehicle speed of approximately 10 mph.
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust or replace parts as necessary. NOTE: Inspection may reveal the need for
replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts.
H CAUTION: Due to the nature of these adjustments, it is recommended that service be performed by
an authorized Polaris dealer.
" Vehicles subjected to severe use (operation in wet or dusty areas, low speed heavy load operation,
prolonged idle) should be inspected and serviced more frequently. For engine oil, short trip cold
weather riding also constitutes severe use. Pay special attention to oil level. A rise in oil level in cold weather
can indicate moisture collecting in the oil tank. Change oil immediately if oil level begins to rise.
