MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil
Oil Change
Always change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Table beginning on page 88. Clean the foam oil breather
element with each engine oil change. See page 97.
Always use the recommended oil. See page 91, or see your Polaris
dealer about oil change kits, which contain a new filter and the
recommended oil.
NOTE: A special jumper harness is required for changing the oil on
this vehicle. Please see your Polaris dealer to purchase the
harness, which will allow you to use the ignition key to turn
over the engine without starting it. You may also need an
assistant to help with the oil change.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Make sure the engine coolant temperature is between 145 and 160
degrees F. (63-71 degrees C). If necessary, start the engine and
allow it to idle until the coolant temperature is within the specified
range.
3. Turn the engine off.
CAUTION
Hot oil and a hot exhaust system and engine can cause serious
burns. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact skin.
4. Open the hood and remove the left side panel.
NOTE: Clamp orientation is critical to the proper operation of the
system. Be aware of clamp placement and orientation when
removing hose clamps. Always reinstall hose clamps in the
same location and position.
5. Remove the oil return hose from the oil tank. Have an assistant
place the end of the hose into a drain pan.
6. Disconnect the starter motor solenoid control switch harness.
7. Insert the female WHITE/RED plug into the male pin from the
starter motor solenoid.
8. Insert the BROWN male pin of the jumper harness into the starter
solenoid’s female port.
