MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
This section includes instructions for
basic maintenance procedures. If you
have the necessary mechanical skills
and the required tools, you can per-
form these procedures. If not, see
your authorized Can-Am dealer.
Other important items in the mainte-
nance schedule that are more difficult
and require special tools are best per-
formed by your authorized Can-Am
dealer.
NOTE: Maintenance message can
be removed by alternately pressing
the override switch and brake pedal
3 times at power up.
WARNING
Unless otherwise indicated, al-
ways turn ignition switch to the
OFF position before performing
any maintenance and remove key.
WARNING
Should removal of a locking de-
vice be required (e.g. lock tab,
self-locking fastener, etc.) , always
replace it with a new one.
Engine Air Filter
NOTICE
Never modify the air in-
take system. Otherwise, engine per-
formance degradation or damage
can occur. The engine is calibrated
to operate specifically with these
components.
Engine Air Filter Replacement
Guideline
Engine air filter replacement frequency
should be adjusted according to rid-
ing conditions as it is critical to ensure
proper engine performance and life
span.
Engine air filter replacement frequency
must be increased for the following se-
vere riding conditions:
– Riding on dry sand.
– Riding on dry dirt covered surfaces.
– Riding on dry gravel trails or similar
conditions.
– Riding in areas with high concentra-
tion of seeds or crop husks.
– Riding in severe snow conditions.
NOTE: Riding in a group under these
conditions would increase even more
the air filter replacement frequency.
