MAINTENANCE Engine Oil Oil Change Always change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Table beginning on page 88. Clean the foam oil breather element with each engine oil change. See page 97. Always use the recommended oil. See page 91, or see your Polaris dealer about oil change kits, which contain a new filter and the recommended oil. NOTE: A special jumper harness is required for changing the oil on this vehicle. Please see your Polaris dealer to purchase the harness, which will allow you to use the ignition key to turn over the engine without starting it. You may also need an assistant to help with the oil change. 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Make sure the engine coolant temperature is between 145 and 160 degrees F. (63-71 degrees C). If necessary, start the engine and allow it to idle until the coolant temperature is within the specified range. 3. Turn the engine off. CAUTION Hot oil and a hot exhaust system and engine can cause serious burns. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact skin. 4. Open the hood and remove the left side panel. NOTE: Clamp orientation is critical to the proper operation of the system. Be aware of clamp placement and orientation when removing hose clamps. Always reinstall hose clamps in the same location and position. 5. Remove the oil return hose from the oil tank. Have an assistant place the end of the hose into a drain pan. 6. Disconnect the starter motor solenoid control switch harness. 7. Insert the female WHITE/RED plug into the male pin from the starter motor solenoid. 8. Insert the BROWN male pin of the jumper harness into the starter solenoid's female port. 94
