MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Oil Change/Oil Filter Change
Polaris recommends that you have an authorized
Polaris dealer perform oil and filter changes on your
watercraft. These procedures require some mechanical
aptitude and general engine knowledge. If you have
any doubts about your ability to perform these
procedures correctly, take your watercraft to your
Polaris dealer for the service.
NOTE:
An oil extraction/storage tool is required to
perform the oil change.
Perform a break-in oil and filter change after the first
12 hours of operation. Thereafter, Polaris recommends
changing the oil and filter every 25 hours, or monthly,
whichever comes first. Change the oil and filter more
frequently under aggressive riding conditions and
always change the oil before end-of-season storage.
CAUTION
The engine may overheat and seize if operated
out of water. Never operate the engine for more
than five (5) seconds or hold the engine at full
throttle while the watercraft is out of the water. To
prevent engine damage, always flush the
freshwater loop cooling system when the engine
is operated out of the water.
1. Remove the oil fill
cap from the top of
the oil reservoir.
2. Insert the hose from
the oil extraction tool
into the reservoir.
NOTE:
To prevent oil
from foaming,
a baffle is
located inside the reservoir. Verify that the
hose passes through one of the baffle holes
and reaches the bottom of the reservoir.
WARNING
Contact with hot oil may result in serious burns.
Do not allow hot oil to come into contact with
skin.
3. Extract ALL of the oil from the reservoir and place
it in the extraction tool storage container. When all
oil is extracted, remove the hose from the reservoir
and reinstall the oil fill cap.
