MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Accessories
Polaris has a wide range of accessories available for your ATV.
Auxiliary power outlets provide 12V power for operating accessories
such as hand held spot lights. Accessory outlets are available for all
models. See your Polaris dealer for more information about
accessories.
Periodic Maintenance Schedule
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
schedule.
Some ATVs are equipped with a speedometer that has a programmable
service interval mode. This important feature will help you determine
when maintenance service is due. See page 52 for instructions.
Maintenance intervals in the following charts are based upon average
riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10
miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use, such as operation in
wet or dusty areas, should be inspected and serviced more frequently.
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 operations.
