MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Periodic Maintenance Schedule
Hours of operation are based on a 10 mph average. If service is due at
20 hours, the equivalent odometer reading would be 200 miles.
Perform all services at whichever reading is reached first.
NOTE
: When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use
genuine Polaris parts available from your Polaris dealer.
