PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART

MAINTENANCE

PRE-RIDE / DAILY INSPECTION

Perform the following pre-ride inspection daily, and when servicing the vehicle at each scheduled maintenance.

• Engine Oil - Check for proper level on dipstick (see Chapter 2 –Engine Oil Level, page 2.10)

• Tires - check condition and pressures

• Fuel tank - fill to proper level

• All brakes - check operation and fluid level and adjustment (includes parking brake on INT’L Model)

• Headlights/Taillights/Brakelights - also check operation of all indicator lights, instrument cluster and switches

• Ignition switch - check for proper function

• Wheels - check for tightness of wheel nuts and axle nuts; check to be sure axle nuts are secured by cotter pins

• Engine Intake Pre-Filter - Inspect pre-filter and clean with soapy water and low pressure compressed air if necessary

• PVT Intake Pre-Filter - Inspect pre-filter and clean with soapy water and low pressure compressed air if necessary

• Steering - check for free operation noting any unusual looseness in any area

• Loose parts - visually inspect vehicle for any damaged or loose nuts, bolts or fasteners

• Engine coolant - check for proper level at the recovery bottle

• Drive Shaft Boots - Inspect inner and outer boots for tears or damage on both front and rear drive shafts

• Check all front and rear suspension components for wear or damage.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW

Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.

Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine Pure Polaris parts available from your Polaris dealer.

NOTE

Service and adjustments are critical. If you’re not

familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures,

have a qualified dealer perform these operations.

Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10 miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and serviced more frequently.

Severe Use Definition

• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand

• Racing or race-style high RPM use

• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation

• Extended idle

• Short trip cold weather operation

Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the cause or see your dealer.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

The break-in period consists of the first 25 hours of operation. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components.

• Drive vehicle slowly at first while varying the throttle position. Do not operate at sustained idle.

• Perform regular checks on fluid levels and other areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist.

• Change both the engine oil and filter after 25 hours or one month.

• See “Owner’s Manual” for additional break-in information.

MAINTENANCE CHART KEY

The following symbols denote potential items to be aware of during maintenance:

COOLING SYSTEM

COOLING SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, radiator filler neck, radiator pressure cap and connecting hose.

As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the radiator past the pressure cap and into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank past the pressure cap and into the radiator.

NOTE

Some coolant level drop on new machines is normal as

the system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe

coolant levels often during break-in period.

Overheating of engine could occur if air is not fully

purged from system.

Polaris Premium 50/50 Antifreeze is premixed and

ready to use. Do not dilute with water.

COOLANT STRENGTH

Test the strength of the coolant using an antifreeze hydrometer.

COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION

The pressure capqand recovery bottleware located under the front hood of the vehicle. The coolant level must be maintained between the minimum and maximum levels indicated on the recovery bottle.

With the engine at operating temperature, the coolant level should be between the upper and lower marks on the coolant recovery bottle. If not, perform the following procedure:

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Remove the front hood.

3. View the coolant level in the recovery bottle.

4. If the coolant level is below the MIN line, inspect the coolant level in the radiator.

NOTE

If overheating is evident, allow system to cool

completely and check coolant level in the radiator and

inspect for signs of trapped air in system.

• A 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water will provide the optimum cooling, corrosion protection, and antifreeze protection.

• Do not use tap water, straight antifreeze or straight water in the system. Tap water contains minerals and impurities which build up in the system.

• Straight water or antifreeze may cause the system to freeze, corrode, or overheat.

STEERING

STEERING INSPECTION

The steering components should be checked periodically for loose fasteners, worn tie rod ends, ball joints and damage. Also check to make sure all cotter pins are in place. If cotter pins are removed, they must be replaced.

Replace any worn or damaged steering components. Steering should move freely through the entire range of travel without binding. Check routing of all cables, hoses, and wiring to be sure the steering mechanism is not restricted or limited.

NOTE

Check front end alignment whenever steering

components are replaced.

WARNING

Due to the critical nature of the procedures outlined in

this chapter, Polaris recommends steering component

repair and adjustment be performed by an authorized

Polaris MSD certified technician.

STEERING WHEEL FREE-PLAY

Check steering wheel for specified free-play and operation.

1. Position the vehicle on level ground.

2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.

3. There should be about 0.8-1.0″ (20-25 mm) of freeplay.

4. If there is excessive free-play or the steering feels rough, inspect the following components.

• Tie Rod Ends

• Steering Shaft U-Joints

• Steering Gearbox

MAINTENANCE

TIE ROD END / WHEEL HUB INSPECTION

• To check for play in the tie rod end, grasp the steering tie rod, pull in all directions feeling for movement.

• Replace any worn steering components. Steering should move freely through entire range of travel without binding.

• Elevate front end of machine so front wheels are off the ground. Check for any looseness in front wheel/ hub assembly by grasping the tire firmly at top and bottom first, and then at front and rear. Try to move the wheel and hub by pushing inward and pulling outward.

WHEEL TOE ALIGNMENT INSPECTION

1. Place machine on a smooth level surface and set steering wheel in a straight ahead position. Secure the steering wheel in this position.

2. Place a chalk mark on the center line of the front tires approximately 10″ (25.4 cm) from the floor or as close to the hub/axle center line as possible

NOTE

It is important the height of both marks be equally

positioned to get an accurate measurement.

3. Measure the distance between the marks and record the measurement. Call this measurement

• If abnormal movement is detected, inspect the hub and wheel assembly to determine the cause (loose wheel nuts or loose front hub nut).

• Refer to Chapter 7 Front Bearing Carrier Inspection / Removal, page 7.4 and Rear Bearing Carrier Inspection / Removal, page 7.7 for wheel bearing service procedures.

4. Rotate the tires 180° by moving the vehicle forward. Position chalk marks facing rearward, even with the hub/axle center line.

2.31

MAINTENANCE

5. Measure the distance between the marks and record. Call this measuremente. Subtract measurement vehicle toe. The recommended vehicle toe tolerance is 1/8 to 3/16″ (3.2 to 4.8 mm) toe out. This means the measurement at the front of the tire than the measurement at the rear

WHEEL TOE ADJUSTMENT

If toe alignment is incorrect, repeat steps 3-5 of “Wheel Toe Alignment Inspection”, but instead measure the distance between each wheel and the vehicle center. This will tell you which tie rod needs adjusting.

NOTE

Be sure steering wheel is straight ahead before

determining which tie rod needs adjustment.

CAUTION

During tie rod adjustment, it is very important that the

following precautions be taken when tightening tie rod

end jam nuts.

If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it will not pivot,

and may break.

2.32

To adjust toe alignment:

• Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating.

• Loosen jam nuts at both end of the tie rod.

• Shorten or lengthen the tie rod until alignment is as required to achieve the proper toe setting as specified in “Wheel Toe Alignment”.

• IMPORTANT: When tightening the tie rod end jam nuts, the rod ends must be held parallel to prevent rod end damage and premature wear. Damage may not be immediately apparent if done incorrectly.

• After alignment is complete, torque jam nuts to specification.

MAINTENANCE

FOX internal bypass shocks are position sensitive and become progressively stiffer as the suspension compresses. To maintain the intended ride comfort, it is important that ride height is maintained to the factory setting.

Adding extra weight to the vehicle will decrease ride height and cause the shock to operate in the stiffer bypass zones. To correctly compensate for added cargo or accessory weight, spring preload should be added to keep the shock in the optimal zone and maintain ground clearance.

Refer to the following adjustment table to correctly compensate for weight added to the vehicle.

NOTE

These settings are only guidelines. The spring preload and shock clickers can be adjusted further to match personal

riding style and location of the weight on the vehicle.

3. The system must maintain 10 psi for five minutes or longer. If pressure loss is evident within five minutes, check the filler neck, radiator, hoses, clamps and water pump weep hole for leakage.

Recommended Coolant

Use only high quality antifreeze/coolant mixed with distilled water in a 50/50 or 60/40 ratio, depending on freeze protection required in your area.

CAUTION: Using tap water in the cooling system will lead to a buildup of deposits which may restrict coolant flow and reduce heat dissipation, resulting in possible engine damage. Polaris Premium 60/40 Antifreeze/ Coolant is recommended for use in all cooling systems and comes pre-mixed, ready to use.
