COMPRESSION TEST
NOTE: This Polaris 4-Stroke engine is equipped with
an automatic decompressor. Compression readings
will vary in proportion to cranking speed during the
test.
Average compression (measured) is about
70--90 psi during a compression test.
Smooth idle generally indicates good compression.
Low engine compression is rarely a factor in running
condition problems above idle speed.
Abnormally
high compression can be caused by a decompressor
malfunction, or worn or damaged exhaust cam lobes.
Inspect camshaft and automatic decompression
mechanism if compression is abnormally high.
A cylinder leakage test is the best indication of engine
condition on models with automatic decompression.
Follow tester manufacturer’s instructions to perform
a cylinder leakage test. (Never use high pressure
leakage tester as crankshaft seals may dislodge and
leak).
Cylinder Compression w/ decompressor
Standard 70--90 PSI
Cylinder Leakage
Service Limit:
10 %
(Inspect for cause if leakage exceeds 10%)
ENGINE MOUNTS
Inspect rubber engine mounts for cracks or damage.
ENGINE FASTENER TORQUE
Check engine fasteners and ensure they are tight.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains
sulfuric acid. Serious burns can result from
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Anti-
dote:
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or
milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician im-
mediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away. Venti-
late when charging or using in an enclosed
space. Always shield eyes when working
near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
SEALED LOW MAINTENANCE
BATTERY
NOTE:
All Low Maintenance batteries are fully
charged
and
tested
at
the
factory before
installation. Expected shelf life varies on storage
conditions. As a general rule before placing the
battery into service, check the battery condition
and charge accordingly.
Battery Check:
1.
Check the date label on the side of the battery to
calculate when to check voltage.
The battery
should be checked every 3 months.
2.
Check the voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter.
A fully charged battery should be 12.8 V or
higher.
3.
If the voltage is below 12.8 V, the battery will need
to be recharged.
