MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Carburetor Idle Adjustment

IMPORTANT: Your Polaris vehicle is calibrated at the factory for

optimal performance at altitudes ranging from zero to 1800 meters and

at temperatures of 4 degrees C. or higher. Above 1800 meters the

engine air/fuel mixture becomes too rich and the engine loses

approximately 3% of its power for each 300 meter increase in

elevation. Although this power cannot be regained, adjustments to the

carburetor and drive system can be made to allow more efficient

operation. Optional jets and clutch components, available from your

Polaris dealer, are required for operation above 1800 meters. Jetting is

required only when operating below 4 degrees C. at 1800 meters and

lower.

NOTE: Operating the engine with improper jetting can cause poor

performance, overheating or engine damage. See your

Polaris dealer for more information about jetting.

If necessary, the carburetor can be

adjusted.
1. Place the transmission in neutral.
2. Lock the mechanical parking

brake.

3. Operate the engine for about five minutes.

4. Adjust the carburetor idle screw (1)

clockwise to raise RPM or

counterclockwise to lower RPM.
