80 MAINTENANCE Active Descent Control (ADC) Fluid If your vehicl e is equipped with Ac tive Descent Control, there are two fluid levels that must be mainta ined (demand drive fl uid and ADC fluid).
81 MAINTENANCE Active Descent Control (ADC) Fluid Fluid Change 1. Position the vehicle on a level su rface. Before performing the fluid change, allow the vehicle to sit for at least 30 minutes. 2. Thoroughly clean the areas around and on the ADC reservoir and bleeder valves (one on each side of the differential).
82 MAINTENANCE Cooling System The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery system. The recovery system compon ents are the reco very bottle, the radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.
83 MAINTENANCE Cooling System Radiator Coolant T o ensure that the coolant maintain s its ability to protect the engine, Polaris recommends that you drain the system completely every two years and add a fresh mixture of antifreeze and water . Replace the coolant any time the coo ling system has been drained for maintenance or repair .
84 MAINTENANCE Brakes Front/Rear/Middle Brakes The front, rear and middle brakes are hydraulic disc brakes. These brakes are self-adjusting. Under normal operation, the diaphr agm extends into the reservoir as fluid level drops. If the fluid le ve l is low and the diaphragm is not extended, a leak is likely and the dia phragm should be repla ced.

97 MAINTENANCE Spar k P l u g s Sp ark Plug Insp ection Normal Sp ark Plug The normal insulator tip is gray , ta n or light brown. There will be few combustion deposits. The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indi- cates the proper type and heat range for the engine and the service.
98 MAINTENANCE V ehicle Immersion If your vehicle becomes imm ersed, major engine da mage can result if the machine is not thoroughly inspecte d. T ake the vehicle to your dealer before starting the engine. If it's impo ssible to take your vehicle to a dealer before starting it, fo llow the steps outlined below .
99 MAINTENANCE S park Arrestor Failure to heed the following warnings whil e servicing the spark arrestor could result in serious injury or death. Ne ver run the engine in an enclosed area. Remove any combustible materials from the area. Wear eye protectio n and leather work gloves.
100 MAINTENANCE P V T System Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result in severe injury or death. Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a hig h speed. The PVT system has been precision balanced.
101 MAINTENANCE P V T System The basic operation of the Polaris PVT system is dependent on engine speed and vehicle torque requiremen ts. As engine speed increases, the force exerted on the movable drive sheave by the flyweights also increases. This, in turn, increases th e amount of pinch applied to the drive belt.
102 MAINTENANCE P V T System When T o Use Low Range and High Range PVT Drying There may be some instances when wate r is accidently ingested into the PVT system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operat- ing. 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
103 MAINTENANCE Battery Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery ca bles can result in an explosio n and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery , always disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery , a lways connect the negative (black) cable last.
104 MAINTENANCE Battery Battery Removal 1. Remove the seat. 2. Disconnect the battery hold-down strap. 3. On conventional batteries, re move the battery vent tube. 4. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first. 5. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable last.
105 MAINTENANCE Battery Battery Inst allation Using a new battery that has not been fully char ged can damage the bat- tery and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance. Follow the battery charging instructio ns on page 107 before installing the battery .
106 MAINTENANCE Battery Battery S torage Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three mo nths or more, remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully char ge d, and store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storag e an d recharge as needed to mainta in a full charge.
107 MAINTENANCE Battery Battery Charging (Conventional Battery) 1. Remove the battery from the vehi cle to prevent damage from leak- ing or spilled electroly t e du ring charging. See page 104. 2. Charge the battery with a char ging output no larger than 1/10 of the battery’ s amp/hr rating.
108 MAINTENANCE Battery Battery Charging (Sealed Battery) Always verify battery condition befo re and 1-2 hours after the end of charging. St ate of Charge V oltage Action Charge Time (Using constant current charger @ standa rd amps specifie d on to p o f ba t t er y) 100% 12.
109 MAINTENANCE Cleaning and St orage W ashing the V ehicle Keeping your Polaris vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance but it can also extend the life of various comp onents. NOTICE: High water pressure may damage comp onents. Polaris recommends washing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, using mild soap.
110 MAINTENANCE Cleaning and St orage W ashing the V ehicle If a high pressure water system is u sed for cleaning (not recommended), exercise extreme caution.
111 MAINTENANCE Cleaning and St orage Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped) Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion, pre- serve wheel life and ensure a "like new" appearance for many years. Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal areas) are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned.
112 MAINTENANCE Cleaning and St orage Sto r ag e Tips NOTICE: S tarting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective film created by fogging and damage could occur . Never start the engine during the storage peri od. Clean the Exterior Make any necessary repairs and then clean the vehic le as recommended.
113 MAINTENANCE Cleaning and St orage Sto r ag e Tips Fluid Levels Inspect the following fluid levels. Ch ange fluids as r ecommended in the Periodic Maintenance Char t beginning on page 67.
114 MAINTENANCE Cleaning and St orage Sto r ag e Tips Inspect and Lubricate Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 67. Battery Maintenance Remove the battery and rechar ge it as outlined on page 107.
115 MAINTENANCE T ransporting the V ehicle Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle. 1. S top the engine. 2. Place the transmission in park. 3. Lock the parking brake. 4. Secure the fuel cap, oil cap and seat. 5. Always tie the frame of the vehicle to the transporting unit securely with suitable straps or rope.
116 ADJUSTMENTS Camber and Caster The camber and caster are non-adjustable. Rear Springs The rear shock absorber springs are adjusted by rotating the adjusters either clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease spring tension. Always adjust all rear springs to equal settings.
117 ADJUSTMENTS Throttle Body/Idle RPM Idle RPM is preset by the manufactur er . If the engine idle speed is not satisfactory , please see your Pola ris dealer for adjustment. Throttle Cable Freeplay Adjust throttle cable freeplay at the handlebar . 1.
