Severe Use Definition
Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected and serviced more frequently. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be serviced at 50% of the stated interval. Examples of severe use include:
-
Frequent immersion in mud, water, or sand
-
Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
-
Extended idle
-
Sustained high-RPM use
-
Frequent short trip operation in cold weather (engine frequently does not operate long enough to reach full operating temperature)
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. Your POLARIS dealer or other authorized person can assist.
