SAFETY

SAFE RIDING GEAR Always wear helmet, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants, over- the-ankle boots and seat belt (if equipped) at all times. Protective gear reduces the chance of injury.

RIDER COMFORT Under certain operating conditions, heat generated by the engine and exhaust system can elevate temperatures in the rider cab area. The condition occurs most frequently when a vehicle is being operated in high ambient temperatures at low speeds and/or high load conditions for an extended period of time. The use of certain windshield, roof and/or cab systems may contribute to this condition by restricting airflow. Any discomfort due to heat buildup in this area can be minimized by wearing proper riding apparel and by varying speeds to increase airflow.

WARNING Vehicle rollover could cause severe injury or death. Always avoid operating in

a manner that could result in vehicle rollover.

ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) SYSTEM The All Wheel Drive system is controlled by the AWD switch. The switch has two positions, AWD (4x4) and 2WD (2x4). The switch on models equipped with a lockable differential has a third position for unlocking the differential. When unlocked, only one rear wheel is a drive wheel.

q All Wheel Drive (AWD) w Two Wheel Drive (2WD) e Turf Mode / Differential Unlocked (1WD)

When the switch is on 2X4, the vehicle is in two-wheel drive at all times. When the switch is on AWD, the vehicle is in all wheel drive and the 4X4 indicator in the instrument cluster will be on.

When in AWD, the demand drive unit will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the demand drive unit will automatically disengage.

There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD.

45

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

ENGAGING AWD The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. Initially, the vehicle's electronic system will not enable the AWD until the engine RPM is below 3100. Once enabled, the AWD remains enabled until the AWD switch is turned off. If the switch is turned off while the demand drive unit is moving, it will not disengage until the rear wheels regain traction. Engage the AWD switch before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to AWD.

NOTICE Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning or slipping may cause

severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch to AWD while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.

DISENGAGING AWD Move the AWD switch to the center or bottom position to disengage AWD. If the switch is turned off while the front hubs are driving, they will not release until the rear wheels regain traction. In some situations, the front gearcase may remain locked after turning the AWD switch off. If this occurs, you may notice increased steering effort and some vehicle speed restriction. Perform the following procedure to unlock the front gearcase.

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Operate in reverse for at least 3 m (10 feet).

3. Stop completely.

4. Shift into low gear and drive forward.

5. If the front gearcase remains locked after following these instructions, see your dealer for service.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL (IF EQUIPPED)

NOTICE Damage to the differential can occur if it is engaged while the vehicle is

traveling at high speeds or while the rear wheels are spinning. Slow the vehicle to nearly stopped before engaging the differential.

Locking the differential in slippery or low traction conditions helps improve traction. Move the rocker switch to the center position (2WD) to lock the differential and operate in rear wheel drive.

Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the rear drive wheels to operate independently. This mode of operation is well suited to turf driving or whenever aggressive traction is not required.

OPERATION WARNING

Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owners

manual.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PERIOD The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two tanks full of gasoline. Clutch and drive belt break-in periods vary depending on operating conditions. No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components. Perform the following procedures carefully.

NOTICE Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle

or high speeds during the first three hours of use. Use of any improper oils may cause serious engine damage. POLARIS Premium 4 Synthetic Oil is specifically formulated for your 4-cycle engine

81

OPERATION

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN BREAK-IN 1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel. See the Refueling section for

details. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.

2. Check the oil level. See the Oil Check section for details. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.

3. Complete the steps in the New Operator Driving Procedures section.

4. Avoid aggressive use of the brakes.

5. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.

6. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist.

7. Carry only light loads.

8. During the break-in period, change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours or one month.

9. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.

BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and rotors.

PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES / BELT) A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the duct and from the engine compartment.

STANDARD BREAK-IN Drive at slower speeds for the first 50 miles (80 km) of operation. Carry only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.

SAND / DUNE BREAK-IN Drive in low gear for the first 5 miles (8 km) of operation. Avoid prolonged low speed operation at high throttle. Avoid aggressive acceleration, high-speed operation and prolonged operation at a specific RPM during this period.

82

94

OPERATION

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

Your vehicle can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth equal to floor levelq. Follow these precautions when operating through water:

1. Determine water depth and current before entering water.

2. Choose a crossing where the water level is lowest and where both banks have gradual inclines. Never operate in water that exceeds the maximum recommended depth.

WARNING The large tires on your vehicle may cause the vehicle to float in deep or fast- flowing water, which could result in loss of traction, loss of control, rollover or

accident.

3. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads. Avoid applying brake and throttle at the same time.

NOTICE Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section. Give special attention to engine oil, transmission oil, demand

drive fluid, rear gearcase oil, and all grease fittings. If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that exceeds the floor level, take it to your dealer for service before starting the engine. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle to your dealer before starting the engine,

perform the service outlined in the Vehicle Immersion section, and take the vehicle to your dealer at the first opportunity.

95

OPERATION

HAULING CARGO WARNING

Overloading the vehicle or carrying cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always follow these

precautions when hauling cargo: Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.

REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING WHEN HAULING CARGO.

NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUMWEIGHT CAPACITYof the vehicle. When determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and loads in the rack or box. The combined

weight of these items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity. Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward and as low as possible. When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain

stable driving conditions. Always operate the vehicle with extreme care when hauling cargo. Slow down

and drive in the lowest gear available. SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the

vehicle.

Your POLARIS vehicle has been designed to carry a specific capacity. Reduce speed and allow a greater distance for braking when carrying cargo. Loads should be centered and carried as low as possible in the box. For stability on rough or hilly terrain, reduce both speed and cargo. Exercise caution if the cargo load extends over the side of the box.

Always read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on warning labels and in this manual. Never exceed the maximum capacities specified for your vehicle. See the Specifications section for details on capacities.

96

OPERATION

WARNING OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELYARRANGED LOADS. When handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the load

and operate with extra caution. HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or

situations that may require backing downhill. USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the

rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing a rollover.

DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS. Vehicle should never exceed 16 km/h (10 MPH) while cornering or while ascending or

descending a hill. Carrying a passenger in the cargo box could result in a fall from the vehicle or contact with moving components. Never allow a passenger to ride in the cargo box. A passenger must always be seated in a passenger seat with seat belt

secured.

BELT LIFE To extend belt life, use low gear in the following conditions:

when hauling or towing heavy cargo. when consistently operating at speeds less than 56 km/h (35 MPH) in hard- pulling terrain, such as mud, rocks or sand/dune environments.

97

WARNING Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURYor DEATH. Always follow

all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.

Your winch may have a cable made of either wire rope or specially designed synthetic rope. The term winch cable will be used for either unless noted otherwise.

WINCH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Read all sections of this manual.

2. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.

3. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.

4. Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the winch.

5. Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch cable, fairlead and hook when operating winch.

6. Never attempt to jerk a load attached to the winch with a moving vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 107.

7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable, and load clear of people (especially children) and distractions while operating the winch.

8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch are not being used.

9. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

10.Always apply your vehicles park brake and/or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of the vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch cable at an angle to the winching vehicles centerline whenever possible.

12. If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

a. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable stack or accumulate at one end of the winch drum. Too much winch cable at one end of the winch drum can damage the winch and the winch cable.

WINCH GUIDE

b. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 of Winch Operation to feed and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.

13.Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.

14.Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winchs rated capacity.

15.The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

16.Never touch, push, pull or straddle the winch cable while winching a load.

17.Never let the winch cable run through your hands, even if wearing heavy gloves.

18.Never release the clutch on the winch when the winch cable is under load.

19.Never use the winch for lifting or transporting people.

20.Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.

21.Never immerse or submerse your winch in water. Your dealer can provide service on your winch if this occurs.

22.Always inspect your winch and winch cable before each use.

23.Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage to winch components.

24.Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in use to prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized persons.

25.Never grease or oil the winch cable. This will cause the winch cable to collect debris that will shorten the life of the cable.

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH OPERATION Read the Winch Safety Precautions in the preceding pages before using your winch.

TIP Consider practicing the operation and use of your winch before you actually

need to use it in the field.

WARNING Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURYor DEATH. Always follow

all winch instructions and warnings in this manual. Each winching situation is unique.

Take your time to think through the winching you are about to do. Proceed slowly and deliberately. Never hurry or rush during winching. Always pay attention to your surroundings. You may need to change your winching strategy if it is not working. Always remember that your winch is very powerful. There are simply some situations that you and your winch will not be able to deal with. Do not be afraid to ask others to help when this happens.

1. Always inspect the vehicle, winch, winch cable and winch controls for any signs of damage or parts in need of repair or replacement before each use. Pay particular attention to the first 3 feet (1 meter) of winch cable if the winch is being used (or has been used) for lifting an accessory plow assembly. Promptly replace any worn or damaged cable.

2. Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.

3. Always apply your vehicles park brake and/ or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

101

WINCH GUIDE

4. Always use the hook strap when handling the hook.

WARNING Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.

Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure the load to the winch cable.

TIP A tow strap is NOT intended to stretch. A recovery strap is designed to

stretch.

WARNING Never use a recovery strap when winching due to the excessive energy that can be released if the winch cable breaks. This can result in SEVERE INJURY

or DEATH. See the Shock Loading section on page 107.

Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

102

WINCH GUIDE

WARNING Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent SEVERE INJURYor DEATH in the event of failure. For your safety, always replace

POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other

qualified dealer.

If possible, keep the winch cable aligned with the centerline of the winching vehicle. This will help the spooling of the winch cable and reduce the load on the fairlead.

If freeing a stuck vehicle by attaching to a tree, use an item such as a tow strap to avoid damaging the tree during winch operation. Sharp cables and chains can damage and even kill trees. Please remember to TreadLightly (treadlightly.org).

Before operating the winch, be sure that the safety latch on the winch cable hook is fully seated when the load is attached.

Never operate your winch with a damaged hook or latch. Always replace damaged parts before using the winch.

5. Never remove the hook strap from the hook.

6. Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.

7. Pulling out as much cable as possible maximizes the winchs pulling capacity. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

8. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to ensure safe winch use.

a. In order to absorb energy that could be released by a winch cable failure, always place a damper on the winch cable. A damper can be heavy jacket, tarp, or other soft, dense object. A damper can absorb much of the energy released if a winch cable breaks when winching. Even a tree limb can help as a damper if no other items are available to you.

103

WINCH GUIDE

b. Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is spooled out.

c. On a long pull, it may be necessary to stop winching so that the damper can be repositioned to the new mid-point of the winch cable. Always release the tension on the winch cable before repositioning the damper.

d. Avoid being directly in line with the winch cable whenever possible. Also, never permit others to stand near or in line with the winch cable during winch operation.

9. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

10.Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or worn.

11. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when using the winch is when that vehicle itself is stuck. The winch equipped vehicle should NEVER be in motion to shock load the winch cable in an attempt to move a second stuck vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 107. For your safety, always follow these guidelines when winching a vehicle free:

a. Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch cable.

b. Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicles centerline.

c. Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicles frame following instructions in this manual.

d. Re-engage the clutch on the winch.

e. Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable.

f. Select the proper vehicle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the direction of winching.

g. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle.

h. Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free the vehicle.

i. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself without the help of the winch.

j. Detach the winch cable hook.

k. Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the instructions in this manual.

12.Never attempt to winch another stuck vehicle by attaching the winch cable to a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or cargo rack. Vehicle damage may result. Instead, attach the winch to a strong portion of the vehicle frame or hitch.

104

WINCH GUIDE

13.Extensive winching will run down the battery on the winching vehicle. Let the winching vehicles engine run while operating the winch to prevent the battery from running low if winching for long periods.

14.The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

15.After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it may be necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch drum. You will need an assistant to perform this task.

a. Release the clutch on the winch.

b. Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.

c. Re-engage the winch clutch.

d. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45 kg) of tension using the hook strap.

e. Slowly winch the cable in while your assistant moves the end of the winch cable back and forth horizontally to evenly distribute the winch cable on the drum.

f. Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable wedging itself between lower layers of winch cable.

105

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH CABLE CARE WARNING

Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and SEVERE INJURY.

For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if any part needs repair or replacement.

2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable. A kinked winch cable made of wire rope is shown at right. Even after being straightened out, this cable has already been permanently and severely damaged. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

A kinked winch cable made of wire rope that has been straightened out is shown at right. Even though it may look usable, the cable has been permanently and severely damaged. It can no longer transmit the load that it could prior to kinking. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

A winch cable made of synthetic rope should be inspected for signs of fraying. Replace the cable if fraying is observed (shown below). Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition. Also replace the winch cable if there are fused or melted fibers. Such an area of the synthetic rope will be stiff and appear smooth or glazed. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

106

WINCH GUIDE

SHOCK LOADING WARNING

Your winch cable is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic, or shock loading. Shock loading may tension a winch cable beyond its strength and cause the cable to break. The end of a broken winch cable under such high loading can cause SEVERE INJURYor DEATH to you and other bystanders.

Winch cables are designed to NOTabsorb energy. This is true of both wire-rope and synthetic-rope winch cables.

1. Never attempt to jerk a load with the winch. For example, never take up slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle in an attempt to move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It generates high winch cable loads that may exceed the strength of the cable. Even a slowly moving vehicle can create large shock loads in a winch cable.

WARNING SEVERE INJURYor DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.

2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (jogging). This puts extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates excessive heat from the motor. This is a form of shock loading.

3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an object with a winch produces shock loading of the cable even when towing at slow speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the towing force high on the vehicle. This can cause instability of the vehicle and possibly lead to an accident.

4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are designed to stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in the recovery strap is released if a winch cable fails making the event even more hazardous. Similarly, never use elastic bungie cords for winching.

5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other transportation vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading that can cause damage to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.

Your winch cable is designed and tested to withstand the loads produced by the winch motor when operated from a stationary vehicle. Always remember that the winch and winch cable are NOT designed for shock loading.

107

WINCH GUIDE

WINCH MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SAFETY WARNING

Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to SEVERE INJURYor DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this

manual.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.

2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your winch.

3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery connections to prevent accidental activation of the winch.

4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.

5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other winches use a specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.

6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade polymer rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. Although they may look similar, they are NOTalike. A polymer rope not designed for winch use will stretch and store excessive energy when winching.

WARNING Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release all of the

stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURYor DEATH.

MAINTENANCE ELEVATING THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE Some service procedures require that the vehicle be elevated. Before proceeding, remember to:

Always position the vehicle on a firm, level surface before elevating. Only use an appropriate sized lift or jack. Refrain from positioning a jack or jack stand under any components other than the vehicle frame.

Refrain from allowing the vehicle to remain elevated on a floor jack for an extended period of time.

PLACING ONTO JACK STANDS 1. Place the floor jack directly beneath the center of the vehicle (either front or

rear).

2. This vehicle is not equipped with dedicated jacking points. Make sure that the floor jack only makes contact with the vehicle frame only while lifting.

3. After vehicle is elevated to desired height, place jack stands under the vehicle frame on both sides of the floor jack, then lower the vehicle until the jack stands come into contact with the vehicle frame.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine POLARIS parts available from your POLARIS dealer.

Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log at the end of the manual.

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these operations.

Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected and serviced more frequently.

111

MAINTENANCE

SEVERE USE DEFINITION Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand Racing or race-style high RPM use Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation Extended idle Frequent short trip operation in cold weather (engine frequently does not operate long enough to reach full operating temperature)

MAINTENANCE

COOLING SYSTEM The engine coolant level is maintained by the recovery system. The recovery system components are the overflow bottle, radiator vent fitting, radiator pressure cap and connecting hose. As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the radiator, past the pressure cap, and into the overflow bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the pressure cap, and into the radiator.

TIP Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels and maintain as recommended by

adding coolant to the overflow bottle.

ADDING OR CHANGING COOLANT POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. This antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See the Polaris Products section for the part numbers. To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years and fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added.

Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair, replace the coolant with fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix.

RADIATORS AND COOLING FAN Always check and clean the screens and radiator fins at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section. Do not obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiators by installing unauthorized accessories in front of the radiators or behind the cooling fan. Interference with radiator air flow can lead to overheating and consequent engine damage.

NOTICE Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage radiator fins and

impair a radiator's effectiveness. Using a high-pressure system is not recommended.

133

MAINTENANCE

RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL / CHANGING COOLANT This procedure is required only if the cooling system has been drained for maintenance and/or repair. If the overflow bottlee has run dry, the level in the radiator should also be inspected.

CAUTION Escaping steam can cause burns. Never remove the pressure cap while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the

pressure cap.

1. Remove the hood. See the Hood section for details.

2. Slowly remove the radiator pressure capw.

3. View the coolant level through the opening.

4. Use a funnel and slowly add coolant as needed.

5. Before reinstalling the pressure cap, bleed the system of trapped air. Remove the engine access panel behind the seats and use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the bleed screwq slightly, allowing the air to escape. Slowly add additional coolant to the radiator until air no longer escapes and only coolant flows from the bleed hole, then tighten the bleed screw.

6. Reinstall the pressure cap.

TIP Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to

function properly. See your dealer for the correct replacement part.

134

MAINTENANCE

OVERFLOW BOTTLE COOLANT LEVEL Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section. Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool). If the overflow bottle has run dry, the level in the radiator should also be inspected.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Remove the hood. See the Hood section for details.

3. View the coolant level in the overflow bottleq.

4. Remove the capw and use a funnel to add coolant as needed to maintain the level between the two marks.

5. Reinstall the cap.

TIP If coolant must be added often, or if the overflow bottle runs completely dry,

there may be a leak in the system. Have the cooling system inspected by your POLARIS dealer or authorized person.

MAINTENANCE

POLARIS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (PVT) SYSTEM WARNING

Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result in severe injury or death.

Do not modify any component of the PVTsystem. Doing so may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The PVTsystem has been

precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.

The PVTsystem rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts of force on clutch components. As the owner, you have the following responsibilities for

your own safety and the safety of others:

Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. Always look for and remove debris inside and around the clutch and vent system when replacing the belt.

See your dealer or other qualified service person as recommended in the owners manual and on safety labels.

142

MAINTENANCE

BRAKES WARNING

Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake pedal can result in loss of braking, which could cause an accident resulting in severe injury or death. Never

operate the vehicle with a spongy-feeling brake pedal.

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the brake pedal. Always check brake pedal travel and the brake fluid reservoir level before each use of the vehicle. When applied, the brake pedal should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low brake fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. See the Brake Fluid section for further details.

If you discover any irregularities in brake system operation, including excessive pedal travel, contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.

BRAKE INSPECTION WARNING

Do not apply WD-40 or any petroleum product to brake discs. These types of products are flammable and may also reduce the friction between the brake

pad and caliper.

1. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.

2. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy feel.

3. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness.

4. Check brake discs for signs of cracks, excessive corrosion, warping or other damage. Clean any grease using an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.

5. Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear. Change pads when worn to 0.762 mm (0.030)q.

143

MAINTENANCE

BRAKE FLUID WARNING

After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly

absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of

accident or severe injury.

Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. See the Polaris Products section for the part numbers. Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown. Access the brake fluid reservoir through the left front wheel well.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Place the transmission in PARK.

3. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should be between the maximumq and minimumw level lines.

4. If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, add brake fluid to the upper line.

5. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

2. Remove the spark plugs and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To access the plug holes, use a section of clear 6.35mm (1/4) hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil. Do this carefully! If you miss the plug holes, oil will drain from the spark plug cavities into the hole at the front of the cylinder head, and appear to be an oil leak.

3. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification. See the Spark Plug Gap / Torque section for details.

4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap. Do not reinstall the caps onto the plugs at this step.

5. Turn the engine over several times. Oil will be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.

6. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.

7. Reinstall the spark plug caps to the spark plugs.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE See the Battery section for storage and charging procedures.

STORAGE AREA / COVERS Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover the vehicle with a genuine POLARIS cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE WARNING

Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide and can cause loss of consciousness or death. Never run an engine in an enclosed area.

1. Charge the battery if necessary.

2. Make sure the spark plug is tight. Reinstall the fuse box cover if it was removed for storage.

3. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.

162
