Filter Systems
Air Filter
Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 57. Service the air filter more fre-
quently if the vehicle is operated in wet conditions or at high throttle
openings for extended periods.
1. Lift the cargo
box to access the
air box.
2. Remove the air
box cover and
inspect the gas-
ket. It should
adhere tightly to
the cover and
seal all the way
around.
Tip: Grasp the filter end
to prevent damage
to the filter paper.
3. Remove the air filter.
4. Do not attempt to clean the main element. Install a new air filter.
Tip: Apply a small amount of general purpose grease to the sealing edges of the
filter before installing.
5. Inspect the air box for oil or water deposits. If present, drain into a
suitable container.
Fuel Filter
Your POLARIS vehicle is equipped with an in-line fuel filter. Have your
dealer replace it after every 100 hours of operation. Do not attempt to
clean the fuel filter.
