Glossary Of Terms

GENERAL INFORMATION

ABDC: After bottom dead center. ACV: Alternating current voltage.

ADC: Active Descent Control. Alternator: Electrical generator producing voltage alternating current.

ATDC: After top dead center. BBDC: Before bottom dead center. BDC: Bottom dead center. BTDC: Before top dead center. CC: Cubic centimeters. Center Distance: Distance between center of crankshaft and center of driven clutch shaft. Chain Pitch: Distance between chain link pins (No. 35 = 3/8, or 1 cm). Polaris measures chain length in number of pitches. Crankshaft Run-Out: Run-out or "bend" of crankshaft measured with a dial indicator while crankshaft is supported between

centers on V blocks or resting in crankcase. Measure at various points especially at PTO.

DCV: Direct current voltage. Electrical Open: Open circuit. An electrical circuit which isn't complete. Electrical Short: Short circuit. An electrical circuit which is completed before the current reaches the intended load. (i.e. a bare

wire touching the chassis).

Engagement RPM: Engine RPM at which the drive clutch engages to make contact with the drive belt. ft.: Foot/feet. Ft. lb. / Foot Pound: A force of one pound at the end of a lever one foot in length, applied in a rotational direction. g: Gram. Unit of weight in the metric system. gal.: Gallon. ID: Inside diameter. in.: Inch/inches. Inch Pound: In. lb. 12 in. lbs. = 1 ft. lb. kg/cm: Kilograms per square centimeter. kg-m: Kilogram meters. Kilogram/meter: A force of one kilogram at the end of a lever one meter in length, applied in a rotational direction. l or ltr: Liter. Left Side: Always referred to based on normal operating position of the driver. m: Meter/meters. Mag: Magneto. Magnetic Induction: As a conductor (coil) is moved through a m agnetic field, a voltage will be generated in the windings.

Mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy in the stator.

mi.: Mile/miles. mm: Millimeter. Unit of length in the metric system. 1mm = approximately .040,. Nm: Newton meters. OD: Outside diameter. Ohm: The unit of electrical resistance opposing current flow. oz.: Ounce/ounces. PDM: Power Distribution Module. Piston Clearance: Total distance between piston and cylinder wall. psi.: Pounds per square inch. PTO: Power take off. qt.: Quart/quarts. RPM:

Revolutions per minute.

Regulator: Voltage regulator. Regulates battery charging system output at approx. 14.5 DCV as engine RPM increases. Resistance: In the mechanical sense, friction or load. In the electrical sense, ohms. Both result in energy conversion to heat. Right Side: Always referred to based on normal operating position of the driver. RPM: Revolutions per minute. Seized Piston: Galling of the sides of a piston. Usually there is a transfer of aluminum from the piston onto the cylin der wall.

Possible causes: 1) improper lubrication; 2) excessive temperatures; 3) insufficient piston clearance; 4) stuck piston rings.

Stator Plate: The plate mounted under the flywheel supporting the battery charging coils. TDC: Top dead center. Piston's most outward travel from crankshaft. Volt: The unit of measure for electrical pressure of electromotive force. Measured by a voltmeter in parallel with the circuit. Watt: Unit of electrical power. Watts = amperes x volts. WOT: Wide open throttle.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Chart

Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable condition. 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 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 operatio ns.

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 ind icate 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 determin e th e cau se or se e you r dea ler.

Maintenance Chart Key

The following symbols denote potential items to be aware of during maintenance : = CAUTION: Due to the nature of these adjustments, it is recommended this service be performed by an

authorized Polaris dealer.

= SEVERE USE ITEM --If vehicle is subjected to severe use, decrease interval by 50%

(Severe Use is defined as frequent vehicle immersion in mud, water or sand, racing or race-style high rpm use, prolonged low speed - heavy load operation or e xte nded idle. M ore preven tat ive maint ena nce is r equire d under these conditions. Fluid changes, cable and chassis lubrication are required more frequently. For engine oil, short trip cold weather riding also constitutes se vere use. Pay specia l attention to oil lev el. A rising oil level in cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil immediately and monitor level. If oil level begins to rise, discontinue use and determine cause.)

E= Emission Control System Service (California). NOTE: Inspection may reveal the need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts.

WARNING

Improperly performing the procedures marked with a

 could result in component failure and lead to

serious injury or death. Have an authorized Polaris dealer perform these services.
