This means that the wheel on the outside of the turn must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning and the inside tire must slip traction slightly. Slow down when entering slippery areas.

Engage AWD before wheels begin to lose traction. Always travel straight uphill. Keep both feet on the footrests. Transfer your weight forward. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening.

Avoid crossing the side of a hill when possible. Sidehilling can be the most dangerous type of driving encountered and should be avoided if at all possible.

When traveling downhill, follow these precautions: 1. Transfer your weight to the rear. Drive straight down the hill. Slow down. Squeeze the brake lever gradually. Follow these procedures when operating through water: 1. Determine water depths and current before crossing. Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines. Be constantly alert for hazards such as logs, rocks and low hanging branches.

Page Driving In Reverse Avoid backing on inclines, and avoid turning at sharp angles. The override button should be used with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle. Turn the engine off.

Place the transmission in park. Set the parking brake. Always block the rear wheels on the downhill side as shown. Federal law requires that this spark arrestor be installed and functional when the vehicle is operated on public lands. See your Polaris dealer.

Its exceptional frictional properties result in more efficient operation, more power output and lower fuel consumption. Position the ATV on a level surface. Start the engine and let it idle for seconds, then stop the engine. Do not allow hot oil to come into contact with skin. Always change the oil and filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page Page Transmission Oil 1.

The transmission oil fill plug 2 is located on the right side of the ATV behind the footwell. Maintain the oil level even with the bottom of the fill hole threads 1. Use of other oils may result in improper operation of components. Oil Check 1. Remove the fill plug. Do not dilute with water. To access the recovery bottle, remove the left side panel as outlined on page Maintain the coolant level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle when the fluid is cool.

Page 81 Always fill the reservoir as needed whenever the cover is loosened or removed to ensure proper diaphragm operation. Use Polaris DOT 3 brake fluid. Do not overfill. Check the brake system for fluid leaks. Check the brakes for excessive travel or spongy feel. Replace any worn or damaged steering components.

Check routing of all cables, hoses, and wiring to be sure the steering mechanism is not restricted or limited. NOTE: Whenever steering components are replaced, check front end alignment.

Use only genuine Polaris parts. One of two methods can be used to measure toe alignment. The string method and the chalk method. If adjustment is required, refer to following pages for procedure. Check for loose wheel or hub. If toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance between vehicle center and each wheel. This will tell you which tie rod needs adjusting.

Place machine on a smooth level surface. Set handlebars in a straight ahead position and secure handlebars in this position. NOTE: It is important that the height of both marks be equally positioned in order to get an accurate measurement. Measure the distance between the marks and record the measurement. Again measure the distance between the marks and record. If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it will not pivot, and may break.

Damage may not be immediately apparent if done incorrectly. Hold Rod End. Place the transmission in neutral and start the engine. Purge accumulated carbon from the system by momentarily revving the engine several times.

If some carbon is expelled, cover the exhaust outlet and rap on the pipe around the clean out plugs while revving the engine several more times. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 until no more particles are expelled when the engine is revved. Stop the engine and allow the arrestor to cool. Reinstall the clean out plugs.

Serious burns could result from contact with hot exhaust components. Never run the engine in an enclosed area. Set the hand brake and block the wheels to prevent roll back. Failure to heed these warnings could result in serious personal injury or death. If particles are still suspected to be in the muffler, back the machine onto an incline so the rear of the machine is one foot higher than the front. Set the hand brake and block the wheels.

Make sure the machine is in neutral and repeat Steps 2 and 3. If particles are still suspected to be in the muffler, drive the machine onto the incline so the front of the machine is one foot higher than the rear. The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in good operating condition. Service life of brake system components depends on operating conditions. Inspect brakes in accordance with the maintenance schedule and before each ride. Brake Hose Inspection Check brake system hoses and fittings for cracks, deterioration, abrasion, and leaks.

Tighten any loose fittings and replace any worn or damaged parts. While turning the rear wheels by hand, apply the auxiliary foot brake. This brake should not stop the wheels from turning until the lever is half way between its rest position and bottoming on the footrest. Bleeding: If free play is correct and brake pedal travel is still excessive, air may be trapped somewhere in the system.

Bleed the hydraulic auxiliary brake system in a conventional manner, following the procedure outlined in Brake Chapter 9. Suspension: Spring Preload Adjustment Operator weight and vehicle loading affect suspension spring preload requirements.

Adjust as necessary. Dampening should be smooth throughout the range of travel. Use the following procedure to inspect the hydraulic auxiliary foot brake system and adjust or bleed if necessary:.

First, check foot brake effectiveness by applying 50 lb. The top of the pedal should be at least 1 inch, Inspect the CV shaft boots in the front and rear of the ATV for damage, tears, wear, or leaking grease. If the rubber boot exhibits any of these symptoms, replace the boot.

Refer to Chapter 7 for CV boot replacement, or have your Polaris dealer replace the boot. Check controls for proper operation, positioning and adjustment. Brake control and switch must be positioned to allow brake lever to travel throughout entire range without contacting switch body.

Wheel Inspection Inspect all wheels for runout or damage. Check wheel nuts and ensure they are tight. Do not over tighten the wheel nuts. With the transmission in park and the parking brake locked, place the wheel in the correct position on the wheel hub. Be sure the valve stem is toward the outside and rotation arrows on the tire point toward forward rotation. Attach the wheel nuts and finger tighten them.

Lower the vehicle to the ground. Securely tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque listed in the table. On vehicles with tapered rear wheel nuts, make sure tapered end of nut goes into taper on wheel. Torque to proper specification. Stop the engine, place the transmission in gear and lock the parking brake. Loosen the wheel nuts slightly. The front and rear storage Sportsman Only compartments are easily accessible.

To open the front compartment turn the latch handle to the horizontal position on both sides. To close the storage compartment turn the latch handles to the vertical position. Worn tires can cause an accident. Frame, Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners Periodically inspect the torque of all fasteners in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

Use dish soap type cleaners only. High pressure washers may force water past seals. The best and safest way to clean your ATV is with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and water.

Use a professional type washing mitten, cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts last. Rinse with water frequently and dry with a chamois to prevent water spots.

Fill the fuel tank. Follow the instructions on the container for the recommended amount. Carbon clean will also reduce the possibility of bacterial growth in the fuel system. Allow minutes of operation for the stabilizer to disperse through the fuel in the tank and the fuel system. Polaris does not recommend the use of a high pressure type car wash system for washing the ATV. If a high pressure system is used, exercise extreme care to avoid water damage to the wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and warning labels.

NOTE: Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing, and allow the vehicle to run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust system. Warm the engine and change the oil and filter. Follow the procedure in this chapter for proper oil change. Clean the air box and drain the sediment tube. Breather Filter Inspect and clean or replace the breather filter. Fluid Levels. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners since they can scratch the body finish. Spray-on furniture polish is an acceptable alternative.

Do not use old cloths or pads which may contain dirt particles that can scratch the finish. Polaris offers a detailing kit for ATVs. Use caution when using these products near plastic surfaces. Storage Tips See the beginning of the chapter for Pure Polaris storage products. Damage could occur. Never start the engine during the storage period. Inspect the following fluid levels and change if necessary: front gearcase; transmission; brake fluid change every two years or as required if fluid looks dark or contaminated.

If you choose not to use Polaris Fogging Oil, perform the following procedure. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank and fuel lines should be completely drained of gasoline. Remove the spark plug s. Rotate the piston to BDC and pour approximately two ounces of Polaris oil into the cylinder. NOTE: Do this carefully! If you miss the plug hole, oil will drain from the spark plug cavity into the hole at the front of the cylinder head and appear to be an oil leak.

Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap and install the cap onto the plug. Turn the engine over several times to ensure coverage of piston rings, cylinder walls and crankshaft bearings. After storage procedures are complete, do not start the engine until unit is ready to be removed from storage.

Starting the engine will remove the protective coating from the engine components. Inspect all cables and lubricate with Polaris Cable Lubricant. Turn off the engine and remove the key to prevent loss during transporting. Always place the transmission in park and lock the parking brake.
