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 following the Initial Break-In Service.
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, short trip cold weather operation, and prolonged high speed operation.
