11. Approximately one cup of engine oil will remain in the crankcase.
To drain, remove the drain plug on the lower right side of the
crankcase.
NOTE:
The sealing surfaces on the drain plug and crankcase should
be clean and free of burrs, nicks or scratches.
12. After draining, reinstall the drain plug.
13. Remove the dipstick (2) and add
two quarts (1.9 l) of Polaris
Premium 4 synthetic oil.
Reinstall the dipstick.
NOTE:
If the sump is not drained,
add about 1 3/4 quarts
(1.6 l) initially.
14. Place the gear selector in park
and set the parking brake.
15.
Prime the oil pump using the procedure below
. Then stop the
engine and inspect for leaks.
16. Re-check the oil level on the dipstick and add oil as necessary to
bring the level to the upper (full) mark on the dipstick.
17. Dispose of used filter and oil properly.
Oil Pump Priming
This priming procedure must be performed whenever the oil hose
connection between the oil tank and pump inlet has been disconnected.
1. Clamp or pinch off the vent line (1)
approximately 2
I
(5 cm) from the oil
tank (2), between the end of the oil
tank vent fitting and the vent line’s
pressure relief slit (3).
2. Run the engine for 10-20 seconds.
3. Remove the vent line clamp. If the
line is bled properly, you should hear a
rush of air, indicating that the line is
properly primed and ready for operation.
If you do not hear air,
the line has not bled, and you’ll need to repeat the priming
procedure.
