SYMBOL DESCRIPTION
►Perform these operations more often for vehicles subjected to severe use.
EEmission-related Control System Service (California)
Failure to conduct this maintenance will not void the emissions warranty but may affect
emissions
DHave an authorized POLARIS dealer perform these services.
SEVERE USE ITEM: Severe Use is defined as frequent vehicle immersion in mud, water or sand, racing or race-style
high rpm use, prolonged low speed - heavy load operation or extended idle. More preventative maintenance is
required under these conditions. Fluid changes, cable and chassis lubrication are required more frequently. For engine
oil, short trip cold weather riding also constitutes severe use. Pay special attention to oil level. A rising oil level in cold
weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil immediately and monitor level. If
oil level begins to rise, discontinue use and determine cause.
NOTE: Inspection may reveal the need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts.
WARNING
Improperly performing the procedures marked with a ■ could result in component failure and lead to serious injury or
death. Have an authorized Polaris dealer perform these services.
