Engine Installation
Engine installation is done in reverse order of the removal instructions. A few important tips are listed below to
ensure long and trouble free service.
A WARNING
Do not install the battery ground (-) cable until all other fuel and electrical connections are done. Electrolyte or fuel
vapors may be present in the engine compartment and a spark could ignite them, resulting in personal injury.
NOTE: Observe the following precautions:
• When installing the engine mounts to engine crankcase, use Polaris Anti-Corrosive Nyogel™
Grease on one of the four bolts.
• Engine rubber mounts are stressed during removal of mounting nuts. Be sure to inspect the
mounts carefully and replace if damaged.
• Always clean residual Loctite™ out of threads before reinstallation or applying new Loctite™.
• Always use new gaskets on the exhaust system and electrical box.
• Remember to inspect for damage on any wiring, hoses, or lines before and after reinstalling the
engine.
• Make sure all cables, hoses, and wiring are routed and secured properly.
• Adjust throttle cable and check throttle operation. It must operate freely and return completely
when released.
• Verify proper operation of engine stop switch.
• After engine installation, pump alignment must be inspected. Refer to the Final Drive section
for inspection and alignment procedures.
• Synchronize carburetors and be sure they are clean.
• Adjust oil pump cable and bleed pump.
• The first tank of fuel should be pre-mixed with Polaris Premium 2 cycle or Premium Synthetic
2 cycle oil at a 40:1 ratio.
Shims used for engine and driveshaft alignment must
be reinstalled in their original locations. Do not allow
them to be mixed up. Always verify proper engine to
pump alignment after engine installation as outlined in
the Jet Pump, Final Drive, section. In most cases, the
number of shims used in production is marked in
permanent marker next to each engine mount. The
same number should be installed as a starting point,
and in most cases adjustment will not be necessary.
Always verify proper engine alignment before installing
pump.
