Periodic Maintenance Schedule MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important components are explained in the following pages. And to help you perform routine maintenance, a tool kit is provided in the storage compartment under the seat. Items included in the kit are: S Spark plug socket and handle S Open end wrench, 1/2 in. and 10 mm S TorxR T25 screwdriver S L-wrench, T-27 S Tire pressure gauge Maintenance intervals are based upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10 miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use, such as operation in wet or dusty areas, should be inspected and serviced more frequently. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine Polaris parts available from your Polaris dealer. NOTE: Service and adjustments are critical. If you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these operations. 91
