Your Polaris vehicle has a spark arrestor that was tested and qualified to

be in accordance with the USDA Forest Service Standard 5100-1C. Fed-

eral law requires that this spark arrestor be installed and functional when

the vehicle is operated on public lands.

Operation of off-road vehicles on public lands in the U.S.A. is regulated

by 43 CFR 8343.1(c). Violations are subject to monetary penalties. Fed-

eral regulations can be viewed online at www.gpoaccess.gov/ecfr/.

This engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system. Blow-by gases

are forced back to the combustion chamber by the intake system. All

exhaust gases exit through the exhaust system.

The emissions from the exhaust of this vehicle are controlled by engine

design, including factory-set fuel delivery and ignition. The engine and

related components must be maintained at Polaris specifications to

achieve optimal performance.

Engine idle speed is the only adjustment Polaris recommends that the

operator perform. Any other adjustments should be performed by an

authorized Polaris dealer.

The emissions label is located on the left rear portion of the frame or

under the seat.

This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.

This vehicle complies with the EMC requirements of European direc-

tives 97/24/EC and 89/336/EEC.

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 periodic maintenance chart.

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.

Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on

page 117.

Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average

riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately ten

(10) miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected

and serviced more frequently.

• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand

• Racing or race-style high RPM use

• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation

• Extended idle

• Short trip cold weather operation

Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold

weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crank-

case. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the

oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the

cause or see your dealer.

XX Perform these operations more often for vehicles subjected to

severe use.

Emission Control System Service - 4 Cycle (California)

QQ Have an authorized Polaris dealer perform these services.

Perform all services at whichever maintenance interval is reached first.

Check and lubricate all components at the intervals outlined in the Peri-

odic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50, or more often under

severe use, such as wet or dusty conditions. Items not listed in the chart

should be lubricated at the general lubrication interval.

Always check and change the engine oil at the intervals outlined in the

Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50. Always change the

oil filter whenever changing oil.

Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic engine oil has been specially

formulated for use in Polaris 4-cycle engines. It's a fully synthetic, high

performance, multi-viscosity oil designed to provide the ultimate in

lubrication performance and protection. See page 102 for the part num-

bers of Polaris products.

Premium 4 possesses unsurpassed film strength over the widest possible

temperature range. It resists viscosity and frictional breakdown in ambi-

ent temperatures from -40° F. to 120° F. Its exceptional frictional prop-

erties result in more efficient operation, more power output and lower

fuel consumption.

Although Polaris Premium 4 is the only oil recommended for use in this

engine, use of any API certified "SH" oil is allowable as long as it's 0W-

40. Oil may need to be changed more frequently if Polaris Premium 4 is

not used. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for ambient tem-

perature operation.

Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic

Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50. We recommend the use of

Polaris Premium 4 All Season Synthetic engine oil.

Spark plug condition is indicative of engine operation. The spark plug

firing end condition should be read after the engine is warmed up and

the vehicle is driven at higher speeds. Immediately check the spark plug

for correct color. See page 66.

The normal insulator tip is gray, tan 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.

The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing

end. There may be a carbon layer over the entire nose. Generally, the

electrodes are not worn. General causes of fouling are excessive oil, use

of non-recommended oil, improper use of the choke, or incorrect throt-

tle body/carburetor adjustments.

1. Remove the seat to access the engine compartment.

2. Remove the spark plug cap. Using the spark plug wrench provided

in the tool kit, remove the plug by rotating it counterclockwise.

3. Reverse the procedure for spark plug installation. Torque to specifi-

cation. See page 65.

The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by the recovery

system. The recovery system components are the overflow bottle, radia-

tor filler neck, radiator pressure cap and connecting hose.

As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)

excess coolant is forced out of the radiator, past the pressure cap, and

into the overflow bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the

contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the

pressure cap, and into the radiator.

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we

recommend that the system be completely drained every two years and a

fresh mixture of antifreeze and water added. Polaris recommends the

use of Polaris Premium 60/40 anti-freeze/coolant or a 50/50 mixture of

high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/coolant and distilled

water. Polaris Premium 60/40 is already premixed and ready to use. Do

not dilute with water. See page 102 for the part numbers of Polaris prod-

ucts.

Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair,

replace the coolant. If the recovery bottle has run dry, the level in the

radiator should be inspected. Add coolant as needed.

Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals out-

lined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50. Do not

obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unautho-

rized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Inter-

ference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and

consequent engine damage.

Always check and change the coolant at the intervals outlined in the

Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50. Maintain the coolant

level between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when

the fluid is cool).

The overflow bottle is located in front of

the right front wheel.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. View the coolant level in the overflow

bottle.

3. If the coolant level is below the safe

operating range, lift the hood and

locate the overflow bottle lid. Remove

the lid and use a funnel to add coolant

through the filler opening. Reinstall

the cap.

Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals out-

lined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50. Do not

obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unautho-

rized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Inter-

ference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and

consequentially, engine damage.

1. Lift the hood.

2. Slowly remove the radi-

ator cap.

3. View the coolant level

through the opening.

4. Use a funnel and slowly

add coolant as needed.

Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts,

wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch

to low range while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the

PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).

There may be some instances when water is ingested into the PVT sys-

tem. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operating.

1. Loosen the bottom screws that secure the clutch cover. Allow the

water to drain. Tighten the screws.

2. Apply the brakes. Start the engine. Engage the park brake. Shift the

transmission to neutral.

3. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and

air-dry the belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for

more than 10 seconds.

4. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes.

Release the park brake and shift the transmission to the lowest

available range.

5. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.

6. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.

If it's impossible to take your RANGER to a dealer before starting it, fol-

low the steps outlined below.

1. Move the vehicle to dry land or

at the very least, to water below

the footrests.

2. Disconnect the fuel pump wires.

3. Remove the spark plug.

4. Place a clean container under

the engine and loosen the carbu-

retor drain screw two turns.

5. Turn the engine over several

times using the electric start.

6. Inspect the drained fuel for

water or sediment.

7. Dry the spark plug and reinstall

it, or install a new plug.

8. Tighten the carburetor drain screw.

9. Reconnect the fuel pump wires.

10. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying proce-

dure.

11. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible,

whether you succeed in starting it or not.

Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic

Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50.

1. Lift the cargo box to

access the air box.

2. Remove the air box

cover and inspect the

gasket. It should adhere

tightly to the cover and

seal all the way around.

3. Remove the air filter.

4. Do not attempt to clean

the main element.

Install a new air filter.

5. Inspect the air box for oil or water deposits. If present, drain them

into a suitable container.

Your Polaris vehicle is equipped with an in-line fuel filter. Have your

dealer replace it after every 100 hours of operation. Do not attempt to

clean the fuel filter.

1. Lift the cargo box and

locate the air box.

2. Follow the right-hand

breather line out the

side of the air box and

locate the filter.

3. Remove and inspect the

filter for debris. Blow

gently through the filter

in the direction of the

arrow to check for

clogging. Replace as

needed.

4. Check hoses for cracks,

deterioration, abrasion,

or leaks. Replace as

needed.

5. Reinstall the filter with the arrow pointing toward the engine.

Secure the clamps.
