Polaris Maintenance Schedule
The intervals shown in this table are based on vehicles operated under normal conditions.
Each interval is given in miles (kilometers). Service the components or systems at that interval.
Continue to follow the maintenance schedule as miles/kilometers increase on the vehicle. For example, after the 2000 mi (3200 km) service has been completed, do the service every 2000 mi (3200 km).
Vehicles subjected to severe use must be serviced at 50% of the stated interval. Examples of Severe Use: Immersion in mud, water, or sand, constant high RPM use, prolonged low-speed heavy load operation, extended idle, any operation in dusty conditions, and short trip cold weather operation.
| Initial Break-In

| The break-in period consists of the first 25 hours of operation or one month. After initial break-in oil change, perform every 115 hours / 4000 mi (6400 km) or annually prior to summer storage. 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. | |
