Air Filter

Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Polaris Maintenance Schedule section. Service the air filter more frequently if the vehicle is operated in wet conditions or at high throttle for extended periods.

  1. Lift the cargo box.

  2. Clean all dirt and debris from the air box area.

  3. Unlatch the six (6) cover clips 1 and carefully remove the air box cover. Inspect the seal between the cover and air box to ensure the seal is not torn and has been maintaining a proper seal.

  4. Inspect the air filter and air box for dirt, debris, oil or water. If the filter needs to be replaced, remove the worm gear clamp from the filter neck with a flat-blade screwdriver or 6mm socket. Slide the filter rearward to remove it from the boot, then lift it straight upward and out of the air box.

  5. With the filter removed, clean the intake boot and air box thoroughly and wipe well with a clean, dry cloth.

    NOTICE
    Dirt or debris in the intake boot could result in severe engine damage. Always clean all dirt and debris from the intake boot before installing the filter.

  6. Reinstall the air filter (if clean) or install a new air filter (if soiled). Do not attempt to clean the air filter.

    NOTICE
    Use of a non-POLARIS-approved air filter may cause engine damage. Always use a POLARIS-approved replacement filter. See the POLARIS products chapter for part numbers.

  7. Make sure the filter is fully seated on the intake boot and that there is no gap between the filter and boot after installation. Tighten the worm gear clamp to 3 Nm (26 in. lbs.).

  8. Reinstall the air box cover. Make sure both hinges are fully inserted. Secure the cover clips.
