Polaris Maintenance Schedule
The intervals shown are based on vehicles operated under normal conditions.
Each interval is given in hours and miles (kilometers). Items should be serviced at whichever interval comes first.
Continue to reference the following maintenance schedules at the given intervals as hours and miles (kilometers) increase on the vehicle.
Vehicles subjected to severe use must be serviced at 50% of the stated interval. Examples of Severe Use: Frequent immersion in mud, water, or sand, constant high RPM use, prolonged low-speed heavy load operation, extended idle, and short trip cold weather operation.
Initial Break-In
Service First 25 Hours / Monthly |
|
---|---|
Front Gearcase Fluid | Initial fluid level inspection; inspect for fluid leaks; add lubricant if needed. |
Transmission Fluid | Initial fluid level inspection; inspect for fluid leaks; add lubricant if needed. |
Engine Oil | Initial fluid level inspection; inspect for fluid leaks; add lubricant if needed. |
The break-in period consists of the first 25 hours of operation. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components. The items outlined in this service interval only need to be performed at the first 25 hours of operation. They do not need to be performed every 25 hours. |
