PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHARTInspection, adjustment and lubrication intervals of important components is listed in the following chart.Maintenance intervals are based upon average riding conditions and a vehicle speed of approximately 10 mph.Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust or replace parts as necessary.NOTE: Inspection may reveal the need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts. The followingsymbols denote potential items to be aware of during maintenance:H= CAUTION: Due to the nature of these adjustments, it is recommended this service be performed

by an authorized Polaris dealer.

"= Vehicles subjected to severe use (operation in wet or dusty areas, low speed heavy loadoperation, prolonged idle) should be inspected and serviced more frequently. For engine oil,short trip cold weather riding also constitutes severe use. Pay special attention to oil level. Arise in oil level in cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump orcrankcase. Change oil immediately if oil level begins to rise.

STEERINGThe steering components should be checkedperiodically for loose fasteners, worn tie rod ends, anddamage. Also check to make sure all cotter pins arein place. If cotter pins are removed, they must not bere-used. Always use new cotter pins.

Replace any worn or damaged steering components.Steering should move freely through entire range oftravel without binding. Check routing of all cables,hoses, and wiring to be sure the steering mechanismis not restricted or limited. NOTE: Whenever steeringcomponents are replaced, check front end alignment.Use only genuine Polaris parts.



2.23

WARNINGDue to the critical nature of the procedures out-lined in this chapter, Polaris recommendssteering component repair and adjustment beperformed by an authorized Polaris MSD--certi-fied technician when replacing worn or dam-aged steering parts. Use only genuine Polarisreplacement parts.

One of two methods can be used to measure toealignment. The string method and the chalk method.If adjustment is required, refer to following pages forprocedure.

TIE ROD END / STEERINGINSPECTION

G To check for play in the tie rod end,grasp the steering tie rod, pull in alldirections feeling for movement.

G Repeat inspection for inner tie rodend on steering post.

G Replace any worn steeringcomponents. Steering should movefreely through entire range of travelwithout binding.

G Elevate front end of machine so frontwheels are off the ground. Check forany looseness in front hub / wheelassembly by grasping the tire firmlyat top and bottom first, and then atfront and rear. Try to move the wheeland hub by pushing inward andpulling outward.

TIE ROD END/STEERING INSPECTIONCONT’D

G If abnormal movement is detected,inspect the hub and wheel assemblyto determine the cause ( possibleloose wheel nuts or loose front hubcomponents).

Check for Loose Wheel or Hub

G Refer to the Body/Steering Chapter5 or Final Drive Chapter 7 for serviceprocedures.

CAMBER AND CASTERThe camber and caster are non-adjustable.



2.24

WHEEL ALIGNMENTMETHOD 1:STRAIGHTEDGE OR STRINGBe sure to keep handlebars centered. See notesbelow.

NOTE: String should just touch side sur-face of rear tire on each side of machine.

NOTE: The steering post arm “frog” can beused as an indicator of whether the handle-bars are straight. The frog should alwayspoint straight back from the steering post.

Rear rimmeasure-

ment shouldbe 1/16� to

1/8� (.2 to .3cm) more

than front rimmeasure-

ment.

Measurefrom stringto rim atfront and

rear of rim.



2.25

WHEEL ALIGNMENTMETHOD 2: CHALK1. Place machine on a smooth level surface.

2. Set handlebars in a straight ahead position andsecure handlebars in this position. NOTE: Thesteering arm “frog” can be used as an indicator ofwhether the handlebars are straight. The frogshould always point straight back from thesteering post.

3. Place a chalk mark on the center line of the fronttires approximately 10� (25.4 cm) from the floor oras close to the hub/axle center line as possible.NOTE: It is important that the height of bothmarks be equally positioned in order to get anaccurate measurement.

4. Measure the distance between the marks andrecord the measurement. Call this measurement“A”.

5. Rotate the tires 180�by moving vehicle forward orbackward. Position chalk marks facing rearward,even with the hub/axle centerline.

6. Again measure the distance between the marksand record. Call this measurement “B”. Subtractmeasurement “B” from measurement “A”. Thedifference between measurements “A” and “B” isthe vehicle toe alignment. The recommendedvehicle toe tolerance is 1/8� to 1/4� (.3 to .6 cm)toe out. This means the measurement at the frontof the tire (A) is 1/8� to 1/4� (.3 to .6 cm) wider thanthe measurement at the rear (B).

Chalk LineMeasurement“A” Measurement “B”

Ill.1

TOE ALIGNMENTADJUSTMENTIf toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distancebetween vehicle center and each wheel. This will tellyou which tie rod needs adjusting. NOTE: Be surehandlebars are straight ahead before determiningwhich tie rod(s) need adjustment.

CAUTION: During tie rod adjustment, it is veryimportant that the following precautions be takenwhen tightening tie rod end jam nuts. If the rod endis positioned incorrectly it will not pivot, and maybreak.

ENGINE INSTALLATION NOTESAfter the engine is installed in the frame, review thischecklist and perform all steps that apply:

General Items

1. Install previously removed components usingnew gaskets, seals, and fasteners whereapplicable.

2. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls,and all important areas on the vehicle as outlinedin the daily pre-ride inspection checklist (refer toChapter 2 or the Owner’s Manual).

PVT System

1. Adjust center distance of drive and driven clutch.(Chapter 6)

2. Adjust clutch offset, alignment, and beltdeflection. (Chapter 6)

3. Clean clutch sheaves thoroughly and inspect inletand outlet ducts for proper routing and sealing.(Chapter 6)

Transmission

1. Inspect transmission operation and adjust linkageif necessary. Refer to Chapter 2 and Chapter 8.

Exhaust

1. Replace exhaust gaskets. Seal connections withhigh temp silicone sealant.

2. Check to be sure all springs are in good condition.

Bleed Cooling System

NOTE: This cooling system contains vent lines tohelp purge trapped air during filling. Refer to page 3.6for hose routing. Bleeding generally should not benecessary.

1. Remove radiator cap and slowly add coolant tothe bottom of filler neck.

2. Fill coolant reservoir tank to full mark.3. Install radiator cap and gently squeeze coolant

hoses to force any trapped air out of system.4. Again, remove radiator cap and slowly add

coolant to the bottom of fill neck if needed.5. Start engine and observe coolant level in the

radiator. Allow air to purge and top off asnecessary. Reinstall radiator cap and bringengine to operating temperature. After engine iscool, check level in reservoir tank and add coolantif necessary.

NOTE: Should the reservoir tank become empty, itwill be necessary to refill at the radiator and repeat thebleeding procedure.

Engine Break In Period

The break in period for a Polaris ATV engine is definedas the first ten hours of operation, or the time it takesto use two full tanks of gasoline. No single action onyour part is as important as a proper break in period.Careful treatment of a new engine will result in moreefficient performance and longer life for the engine.Perform the following procedures carefully.

Use only Polaris Premium 0--40W All Seasonsynthetic oil or equivalent. Never substitute ormix oil brands. Serious engine damage andvoiding of warranty can result.

Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds forextended periods during the first three hours ofuse. Excessive heat can build up and causedamage to close fitted engine parts.

CAUTION

1. Fill fuel tank with unleaded or leaded fuel whichhas a minimum pump octane number of 87= (R+M)/2.

2. Check oil reservoir level indicated on dipstick.Add oil if necessary.

SAFE ADD 8 OZ

3. Drive slowly at first to gradually bring engine up tooperating temperature.

4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate atsustained idle or sustained high speed.

5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controlsand all important areas on the vehicle.

6. Pull only light loads during initial break in.7. Change break in oil and filter at 20 hours or 200

miles.

CYLINDER HONE SELECTIONAND HONING PROCEDURE

CAUTION:

A hone which will straighten as well as removematerial from the cylinder is very important. Using acommon spring loaded glaze breaker for honing is notadvised for nicasil cylinders. Polaris recommendsusing a rigid hone or arbor honing machine.

Cylinders may be wet or dry honed depending uponthe hone manufacturer’s recommendations. Wethoning removes more material faster and leaves amore distinct pattern in the bore.

HONING TO DEGLAZEA finished cylinder should have a cross-hatch patternto ensure piston ring seating and to aid in the retentionof the fuel/oil mixture during initial break in. Honecylinder according to hone manufacturer’sinstructions, or these guidelines:

G Use a motor speed of approximately300-500 RPM, run the hone in andout of the cylinder rapidly until cuttingtension decreases. Remember tokeep the hone drive shaft centered(or cylinder centered on arbor) and tobring the stones approximately 1/2�(1.3 cm) above and below the bore atthe end of each stroke.

G Release the hone at regular intervalsand inspect the bore to determine ifit has been sufficiently deglazed, andto check for correct cross--hatch.NOTE: Do not allow cylinder toheat up during honing.

G After honing has been completed,inspect cylinder for thinning orpeeling.

If cylinder wear or damage is excessive, it will benecessary to replace the cylinder. The cylinders arelined with a nicasil coating and are not repairable.Hone only enough to deglaze the outer layer of thecylinder bore.

EXAMPLE OF CROSS HATCH PATTERN

IMPORTANT: Clean the Cylinder After Honing

It is very important that the cylinder be thoroughlycleaned after honing to remove all grit material. Washthe cylinder in a solvent, then in hot, soapy water. Useelectrical contact cleaner if necessary to clean theseareas. Rinse thoroughly, dry with compressed air,and oil the bore immediately with Polaris 4 CycleLubricant to prevent the formation of surface rust.

OIL FLOWThis chart describes the flow of oil through the EH68 and the EH059 engine. Beginning in the crankcase sump,the oil is drawn through an oil galley to the feed side of the oil pump. The oil is then pumped through the oil filter.If the oil filter is obstructed, a bypass valve contained in the filter allows oil to bypass the filter element. At thispoint, the oil is supplied to the main oil galley through a crankcase passage. Oil is then diverted three ways fromthe main oil galley, with the first path entering the camshaft bores, onto the rear balance shaft journal and thendraining back into the crankcase sump. The second oil path from the main oil galley feeds the lifter bores andthen drains back to the crankcase sump. The third oil path flows through a crankcase galley to the MAG sidecrankshaft journal and also to the front balance shaft journal and onto the crankcase sump. The oil pressureswitch is fed off the main oil galley.

NOTE: The cylinder head valve guides cannot bereplaced.

WARNING

Wear eye protection or a face shield duringcylinder head disassembly and reassembly.

Valve Seat Inspection

Inspect valve seat in cylinder head for pitting, burntspots, roughness, and uneven surface. If any of theabove conditions exist, the valve seat must bereconditioned. If the valve seat is cracked the cylinderhead must be replaced.

Follow the manufacturers instructions provided withthe valve seat cutters in the Cylinder HeadReconditioning Kit (PN 2200634). Abrasive stone

seat reconditioning equipment can also be used.Keep all valves in order with their respective seat.

NOTE: Valve seat width and point of contact on thevalve face is very important for proper sealing. Thevalve must contact the valve seat over the entirecircumference of the seat, and the seat must be theproper width all the way around. If the seat is uneven,compression leakage will result. If the seat is toowide, seat pressure is reduced, causing carbonaccumulation and possible compression loss. If theseat is too narrow, heat transfer from valve to seat isreduced. The valve may overheat and warp, resultingin burnt valves.

6. Insert valve into guide and tap valve lightly intoplace a few times.

7. Remove valve and check where the PrussianBluet indicates seat contact on the valve face.The valve seat should contact the middle of thevalve face or slightly above, and must be theproper width.G If the indicated seat contact is at the

top edge of the valve face andcontacts the margin area(B) it is toohigh on the valve face. Use the 30�cutter to lower the valve seat.

G If too low, use the 60� cutter to raisethe seat. When contact area iscentered on the valve face, measureseat width.

G If the seat is too wide or uneven, useboth top and bottom cutters tonarrow the seat.

G If the seat is too narrow, widen usingthe 45� cutter and re-check contactpoint on the valve face and seat widthafter each cut.

BLEEDING PROCEDURE FOR 4--STROKE COOLING SYSTEMS

Use this procedure when a unit overheats and no appar-ent leaks in the cooling system are found.

Note: If the coolant level is LOW in the radiator, or if thereare leaks in the system, the coolant system will not drawcoolant from the reservoir tank.

1. Park Machine on a flat surface. Remove radiator cap andtop off coolant. Leave the cap off of the radiator. Start and idlemachine for 5-10 minutes until steam is visible in the radiatorcap area.

2. Stop the engine and let cool for a few minutes or until a“glug” is seen at the filler neck or there is a dropping of thecoolant level, indicating that coolant has been pulled into thesystem.

Important Tips: Slowly squeezing the hose after the bendbelow the filler neck will aid in purging the system of air.Pump the hose using your hand several times as shown inthe diagram. Elevating the rear of the ATV with a floor jack(rear tires 4-6, off the ground) also aids the purging of air fromthe system.

3. Always add coolant to the radiator first, filling to the top ofthe neck to replace air that has been purged from the system.Fill the reservoir only after you have completely filled the cool-ing system at the radiator filler neck.

4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 four or five times or until no morecoolant is pulled into the system.

5. In some instances, Steps 1 and 2 may have to be per-formed with the radiator cap on to prevent coolant loss.

6. To test, install the radiator cap and idle machine until fancomes on. Make sure the fan comes on before the hot light.

Never drain the float bowl when the engineis hot. Severe burns may result.

Do not smoke or allow open flames orsparks in or near the area where refuelingis performed or where gasoline is stored.

If you get gasoline in your eyes or if youshould swallow gasoline, seek medicalattention immediately.

If you spill gasoline on your skin or clothing,immediately wash with soap and water andchange clothing.

JETTING GUIDELINESChanges in altitude and temperature affect air density,which is essentially the amount of oxygen available forcombustion. In low elevations and cold temperatures,the air is more dense and has more oxygen. In higherelevations and higher temperatures, the air is lessdense with reduced oxygen.

Polaris ATV Carburetors are calibrated for an altitudeof 0-6000 ft. (0-1800 meters) and ambienttemperatures between +40 and +80 F (+5 to +26C). Carburetors must be re-calibrated if operated

outside this temperature and/or altitude range. Thejetting installed in production is not intended for allaltitudes and/or temperatures. In addition, air screw/ pilot screw adjustments and PVT adjustments maybe required to suit operating conditions.

CARBURETOR JETTING

CAUTION:

A main jet that is too small will cause a leanoperating condition resulting in serious enginedamage. Select the correct main jet carefully forelevation and temperature according to thecharts in the specifications section or in theOwner’s Safety and Maintenance Manual for eachparticular model.

IMPORTANT: The following guidelines must befollowed when establishing a main jet setting:

1. Select the lowest anticipated temperature atwhich the machine will be operated.

2. Determine the lowest approximate altitude atwhich the machine will be operated.

3. Select the correct main jet from the chart on Page1.4.

4. Clutching changes may also be required forchanges in elevation. Refer to clutching chart inthe specifications section for recommendations.

VENT SYSTEMS - CVCARBURETORThe carburetor float bowl vent lines supplyatmospheric pressure to the float bowl. The linesmust be free of kinks, restrictions and be properlyrouted. This allows fuel to flow in the proper amountand prevents contaminants from entering thecarburetor.

MIKUNI CV CARBOPERATION

The constant velocity carburetor incorporates amechanically operated throttle plate and a vacuumcontrolled slide valve (vacuum slide). The venturicross-sectional area in the carburetor bore isincreased or decreased automatically by the vacuumslide, which moves according to the amount ofnegative pressure (less than atmospheric) present inthe venturi.

A diaphragm attached to the top of the vacuum slideis sealed to the slide and to the carburetor bodyforming two chambers. The chamber above thediaphragm is connected to the venturi area by a drilledorifice in the center of the vacuum slide. The chamberbelow the diaphragm is vented to atmosphericpressure by a passage on the air box side of thecarburetor. A spring, installed in the center of thevacuum slide, dampens the slide movement andassists the return of the slide.

CARBURETOR OPERATION CONT’D

When the throttle plate is opened and engine speedbegins to increase, the pressure in the venturi (andtherefore in the chamber above the diaphragm)becomes significantly lower than atmospheric.Atmospheric pressure in the chamber below thediaphragm forces the diaphragm upward, raising theslide against spring pressure. When the pressureabove and below the diaphragm are nearly equal, theslide moves downward under spring pressure.Raising or lowering the slide increases or decreasesthe cross sectional area in the venturi, and thereforethe air velocity in the venturi is kept relatively constant.This provides improved fuel atomization and optimumfuel/air ratio.

PILOT (IDLE AND SLOW)SYSTEMThis system supplies fuel during engine operationwith throttle valve closed (1) or slightly opened. Thefuel from float chamber (2) is metered by pilot jet (3)where it mixes with air coming in through pilot air jet(4). The mixture then goes up through pilot passageto pilot screw (5). A part of the mixture is dischargedinto the main bore out of bypass ports (6). Theremainder is then metered by pilot screw anddischarged into the main bore through pilot outlet (7).

Fuel is drawn into the starter circuit from the floatchamber (2) through the starter jet (3). Starter jetmeters this fuel, which then flows into starter pipe (4)and mixes with the air (7) coming from the floatchamber. The mixture, rich in fuel content, reachesstarter plunger and mixes again with the air comingthrough a passage (8) extending from underneath thediaphragm. The rich fuel/air mixture for starting isdischarged through starter outlet (6) in the the mainbore.



4.7

FLOAT SYSTEMFuel enters the float chamber (3) by means of the inletpipe and passage, through a screen on the back of theinlet needle seat (4), and around the inlet needle (2).As the fuel fills the float chamber, the float (1) rises andforces the inlet needle against the seat, shutting offthe orifice in the seat. When fuel level is up in floatchamber, floats are up and needle valve remainspushed up against valve seat. Under this condition,no fuel enters the float chamber. As the fuel level falls,floats go down and needle valve unseats itself toadmit fuel into the chamber. In this manner, theneedle valve admits and shuts off fuel alternately tomaintain a practically constant fuel level inside thefloat chamber.

MAIN SYSTEMAs throttle valve (1) is opened, engine speed rises,and this increases negative pressure in the venturi.Consequently the vacuum slide (2) moves upward.The fuel in float chamber (3) is metered by main jet (4),and the metered fuel enters needle jet (5), in which itmixes with the air admitted through main air jet (6) toform an emulsion. The emulsified fuel then passesthrough the clearance between needle jet (5) and jetneedle (7), and is discharged into the venturi (A).Mixture proportioning is accomplished in needle jet(5); the clearance through which the emulsified fuelmust flow is determined ultimately by throttle positionand vacuum slide height.

CARBURETOR CLEANING

WARNING

Protect eyes from contact with cleaner. Takeappropriate safety measures during theseprocedures. Safety glasses and chemical resistantgloves are required. Should you get cleaner in youreyes or if you swallow cleaner, seek medical attentionimmediately.

Carburetor cleaners can be extremely caustic.Extended periods of soaking can loosen the adhesivesealer on the passage drill-way plugs. Do not soakrubber or plastic components (such as the vacuumslide diaphragm, needle seat screen, or O-Rings incaustic cleaning solutions. Irreparable damage mayoccur. Do not use agitator--type carburetor cleaningequipment. Rubber parts must be cleaned with milddetergent and hot water only.

1. Thoroughly clean the carburetor body, jets, andall passages with carburetor cleaner or electricalcontact cleaner.

2. If the carburetor is extremely dirty orcontaminated with fuel residue and varnish, soakfor short periods only in carburetor cleaner, andrinse in hot water.

3. Replace the jets if they have a buildup of fuelresidue or bacterial growth that cannot beremoved. Even a small amount of residue willreduce the flow characteristics of the jet.

4. Verify all passages and jets are unobstructed byspraying electrical contact cleaner through thepassages. CAUTION: Do not use wire or weldingtip cleaners as the orifice size may be altered.

5. Use low pressure air to dry carburetor body andall components.

CARBURETOR INSPECTION1. Inspect jet needle and needle jet for wear. Look

for discoloration, shiny spots, or an area thatlooks different than the rest of the needle. Themiddle to upper portion of the needle contacts theneedle jet and is the most likely wear point. If jetneedle shows signs of wear replace both theneedle and needle jet to prevent a rich condition.TIP: A worn needle jet is difficult to spot. To check,slide a slightly larger new jet needle into theneedle jet and hold it to a light source. Light will bevisible between the needle and needle jet if it isworn.

DECAL REPLACEMENTWARNING

The following procedure involves the use of anopen flame. Perform this procedure in a well ventilatedarea, away from gasoline or other flammable materials.Be sure the area to be flame treated is clean and freeof gasoline or flammable residue.

The side panels, front and rear fender cabs are plasticpolyethylene material. Therefore, they must be “flametreated” prior to installing a decal to ensure goodadhesion. A bonus of the flame treating procedure isit can be used to reduce or eliminate the whitish stressmarks that are sometimes left after a fender or cab isbent, flexed, or damaged.

To flame treat the decal area:

1. Pass the flame of a propane torch back and forthquickly over the area where the decal is to beapplied until the surface appears slightly glossy.This should occur after just a few seconds offlame treating. Do not hold the torch too close tothe surface. (2--3 inches from the flame tip isrecommended) Keep the torch moving to preventdamage.

2. Apply the decal on one edge first. Slowly lay downremainder of the decal while rubbing lightly overthe decal surface to eliminate any air bubblesduring the application.

PVT OPERATION OVERVIEW

WARNING

All PVT maintenance or repairs should beperformed only by a certified Polaris Master ServiceDealer (MSD) technician who has received the propertraining and understands the procedures outlined inthis manual. Because of the critical nature andprecision balance incorporated into the PVTcomponents, it is absolutely essential that nodisassembly or repair be made without factoryauthorized special tools and service procedures.

The Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) consists ofthree major assemblies: 1) The Drive Clutch; 2) TheDriven Clutch; and 3) The Drive Belt. The internalcomponents of the drive clutch and driven clutchcontrol engagement (initial vehicle movement), clutchupshift and backshift. During the development of aPolaris ATV, the PVT system is matched first to theengine power curve; then to average riding conditionsand the vehicle’s intended usage. Therefore,modifications or variations of components at randomare never recommended. Proper clutch setup andcareful inspection of existing components must be theprimary objective when troubleshooting and tuning.

DRIVE CLUTCH OPERATIONDrive clutches primarily sense engine RPM. The twomajor components which control its shifting functionare the shift weights and the coil spring. Wheneverengine RPM is increased, centrifugal force is created,causing the shift weights to push against rollers on themoveable sheave, which is held open by coil springpreload. When this force becomes higher than thepreload in the spring, the outer sheave moves inwardand contacts the drive belt. This motion pinches thedrive belt between the spinning sheaves and causesit to rotate, which in turn rotates the driven clutch.

At lower RPM, the drive belt rotates low in the driveclutch sheaves. As engine RPM increases,centrifugal force causes the drive belt to be forcedupward on drive clutch sheaves.

DRIVEN CLUTCH OPERATIONDriven clutches primarily sense torque, opening andclosing according to the forces applied to it from thedrive belt and the transmission input shaft. If thetorque resistance at the transmission input shaft isgreater than the load from the drive belt, the drive beltis kept at the outer diameter of the driven clutchsheaves.


CLUTCHCLUTCH

6.5

DRIVEN CLUTCH OPERATION CONT’D

As engine RPM and horsepower increase, the loadfrom the drive belt increases, resulting in the beltrotating up toward the outer diameter of the driveclutch sheaves and downward into the sheaves of thedriven clutch. This action, which increases the drivenclutch speed, is called upshifting.

Should the throttle setting remain the same and thevehicle is subjected to a heavier load, the drive beltrotates back up toward the outer diameter of thedriven clutch and downward into the sheaves of thedrive clutch. This action, which decreases the drivenclutch speed, is called backshifting.

In situations where loads vary (such as uphill anddownhill) and throttle settings are constant, the driveand driven clutches are continually shifting tomaintainoptimum engine RPM. At full throttle a perfectlymatched PVT system should hold engine RPM at thepeak of the power curve. This RPM should bemaintained during clutch upshift and backshift. In thisrespect, the PVT system is similar to a powergovernor. Rather than vary throttle position, as aconventional governor does, the PVT systemchanges engine load requirements by eitherupshifting or backshifting.

PVTMAINTENANCE/INSPECTIONUnder normal operation the PVT system will provideyears of trouble free operation. Periodic inspectionand maintenance is required to keep the systemoperating at peak performance. The following list ofitems should be inspected and maintained to ensuremaximum performance and service life of PVTcomponents. Refer to the troubleshooting checklist atthe end of this chapter for more information.

1. Drive to Driven Clutch Offset, Belt Width. SeePage-6.16--6.18

2. Drive and Driven Clutch Buttons andBushings, Drive Clutch Shift Weights andPins, Drive Clutch Spider Rollers and RollerPins, Drive and Driven Clutch Springs. SeePages 6.11-6.12

3. Sheave Faces. Clean and inspect for wear.4. PVT System Sealing. Refer to appropriate

illustrations and photos. The PVT system is aircooled by fins on the drive clutch stationarysheave. The fins create a low pressure area in thecrankcase casting, drawing air into the systemthrough an intake duct. The opening for thisintake duct is located at a high point on the vehicle(location varies by model). The intake duct drawsfresh air through a vented cover. All connecting

air ducts, as well as the inner and outer covers,must be properly sealed to ensure clean air isbeing used for cooling the PVT system. This alsowill prevent water and other contaminants fromentering the PVT area. A sealed PVT isespecially critical on units subjected to frequentwater forging.

PVT DRYINGNOTE: If operating the ATV through water, be sureto check the PVT cover and other ATV componentsfor water ingestion. The ATV should be checkedimmediately. Refer to Owner’s Manual for SafeRiding Tips.

PVT Drain Plug

To drain any water that may be trapped inside the PVTcover, simply remove the PVT drain plug and O--ringlocated on the bottom of the PVT cover and let thewater drain out. The PVT drain plug is shown below.

To further expel water in the PVT cover and to dry outthe PVT system, shift the transmission to neutral andrev engine slightly to expel the moisture. This will alsoair-dry the belt and clutches. Allow engine RPM tosettle to idle speed, shift transmission to lowestavailable range and test for belt slippage. Repeat asneeded. Operate ATV in lowest available range for ashort period of time until PVT system is dry.

PVT Drain Plug & O--ring


CLUTCHCLUTCH

6.6

PVT OVERHEATING/DIANOSISDuring routine maintenance or whenever PVT system overheating is evident, it’s important to check the inletand outlet ducting for obstructions. Obstructions to air flow through the ducts will significantly increase PVTsystem operating temperatures. The ATV should be operated in LOW RANGE when pulling or plowing heavyloads, or if extended low speed operation is anticipated.

GENERAL RANGE OPERATIONGUIDELINES:

Low Range: Heavy pulling, basic operational speeds lessthan 7 MPH, riding through rough terrain (swamps, mountains,etc.), low ground speeds.High Range: High ground speeds, speeds above 7 MPH.

Diagnosis of Clutch Drive Belt & Cover Related Issues:

Possible Causes Solutions/What to do

Loading the ATV into a pickup or tall trailerwhen in high range.

Shift transmission to low range during loading of the ATV toprevent belt burning.

Starting out going up a steep incline. When starting out on an incline, use low range, or dismount theATV after first applying the park brake and perform the “K”turn.

Driving at low RPM or low ground speed(at approximately 3--7 MPH).

Drive at higher speed or use Low Range. The use of LowRange is highly recommended for cooler PVT operating tem-peratures and longer component life.

Insufficient warm--up of ATVs exposed tolow ambient temperatures.

Warm engine at least 5 min., then with transmission in neutral,advance throttle to approx. 1/8 throttle in short bursts, 5 to 7times. The belt will become more flexible and prevent beltburning.

Slow and easy clutch engagement. Fast, effective use of the throttle for efficient engagement.Continuous operation at the point of engagement (initial vehiclemovement) increases PVT temperatures and component wear.

Towing/Pushing at low RPM/low groundspeed.

Use Low Range only.

Plowing snow, dirt, etc./utility use. Use Low Range only.Stuck in mud or snow. Shift the transmission to Low Range, carefully use fast,

aggressive throttle application to engage clutch. Warning:Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and vehicleoverturn.

Climbing over large objects from astopped position.

Shift the transmission to Low Range, carefully use fast,aggressive, throttle application to engage clutch. Warning:Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and vehicleoverturn.

Belt slippage from water or snow ingestioninto the PVT system.

Shift the transmission to neutral. Using the throttle, vary theengine rpm from idle to 3/4 throttle. Engage transmission inthe lowest possible range and test for belt slippage Repeatseveral times as required. During this procedure, thethrottle should not be held at the full position for morethan 10 seconds. PVT seals should be inspected for damageif repeated leaking occurs.

Clutch malfunction. Inspection/repair of clutch components should be performed bya certified Polaris MSD techinician.

DRIVE CLUTCH SPRING SPECIFICATIONSThe drive clutch spring has twoprimary functions:

1. Controls clutch engagementRPM. The springs which have ahigher rate when the clutch is inneutral will increase clutchengagement RPM.

2. Controls the rate at which thedrive belt moves upward in thedrive clutch sheaves. This isreferred to as drive clutch upshift.

The drive clutch spring is one of themost critical components of the PVTsystem. It is also one of the easiest toservice. Due to the severe stress thecoil spring is subject to duringoperation, it should always beinspected for tolerance limits duringany clutch diagnosis or repair.

There are other components whichcontrol upshift, but the spring is one ofthe primary components in insuringoptimum performance. It is veryimportant that the spring is of correctdesign and is in good condition.

CAUTION: Never shim a drive clutchspring to increase its compressionrate. This may result in completestacking of the coils and subsequentclutch component failure.

Measuring Spring Length: With the spring resting ona flat surface, measure its free length from the outer coilsurfaces as shown. Refer to the spring specificationchart for specific free length measurements andtolerances. Also check to see that spring coils areparallel to one another. Distortion of the spring indicatesstress fatigue, requiring replacement.

5. Inspect belt for loose cords, missing cogs, cracks,abrasions, thin spots, or excessive wear.Replace if necessary.

6. Inspect belt for hour glassing (extreme circularwear in at least one spot and on both sides of thebelt). Hour glassing occurs when the drive traindoes not move and the drive clutch engages thebelt continuously in one spot.

7. Measure belt length with a tape measure aroundthe outer circumference of the belt. Belts whichmeasure longer than nominal length may requiredriven shimming or engine adjustment for alonger center distance to obtain proper beltdeflection. Belts which measure shorter thannominal length may require driven shimming or ashorter center distance. Remember, proper beltdeflection is the desired goal -- not a specificcenter distance.

8. Replace belt if worn past the service limit. Beltswith thin spots, burn marks, etc., should bereplaced to eliminate noise, vibration, or erraticPVT operation. See Troubleshooting Chart at theend of this chapter for possible causes.

FRONT GEARCASEDIAGNOSISSymptom: AWD Will Not Engage.

1. Check the gearcase coil resistance. To test thegearcase coil resistance, use the coil harness(Grey & Brown/White). The gearcase coils shouldmeasure between 22.8 ohms and 25.2 ohms.

2. Check the minimum battery voltage at the wire(Grey & Brown/White) that feeds the hub coilwire.There should be a minimum of 11.80--12.0 Voltspresent for proper operation.

3. Inspect the armature plate for a consistent wearpattern. There should one or two distinct wear

bands (one band inside the other). If only oneband of wear is present (or if there is wearbetween the two bands, inspect the coil area asindicated in Step 4. A band with an interruptedwear mark may indicate a warped plate, whichmay cause intermittent operation. See Illustration1.

4. Check to make sure the coil is seated in theU--shaped insert that is pressed into the gearcasecover. The top of the coil should be seated belowthe U--shaped insert. The U--shaped insertcontrols the pole gap. If the top of the coil is abovethe surface of the U--shaped insert it raises thearmature plate, thereby increasing pole gap. Ifthe pole gap increases the coil will not be strongenough to engage the AWD system. If this is thecause order a new Plate Cover Assembly (PN3233952).

BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICENOTESPolaris disc brake systems are light weight, lowmaintenance and perform well in the conditions ATVsroutinely encounter. However, there are a few thingsto remember when replacing disc brake pads orperforming brake system service to ensure propersystem function and maximum pad service life.

G Perform a brake burnishingprocedure after installing new padsto maximize service life.

G Optional pads are available to suitconditions in your area. Select a padto fit riding style and environment.

G Do not over-fill the master cylinderfluid reservoir.

G Make sure the brake lever and pedalreturns freely and completely.

G Adjust stop pin on front caliper afterpad service.

G Check and adjust master cylinderreservoir fluid level after pad service.

G Make sure atmospheric vent onreservoir is unobstructed.

G Test for brake drag after any brakesystem service and investigatecause if brake drag is evident.

G Make sure caliper moves freely onguide pins (where applicable).

G Inspect caliper piston seals forforeign material that could preventcaliper pistons from returning freely.

BRAKE NOISETROUBLESHOOTINGDirt or dust buildup on the brake pads and disc is themost common cause of brake noise (squeal causedby vibration). If cleaning does not reduce theoccurrence of brake noise, Permatext Disc BrakeQuiet (PN 2872113) can be applied to the back of thepads. Follow directions on the package. This willkeep pads in contact with caliper piston(s) to reducethe chance of squeaks caused by dirt or dust.

Typical Hydraulic Brake System

The Polaris disc brake system consists of thefollowing components or assemblies: brake lever;master cylinder; hydraulic hose; brake calipers (slavecylinder); brake pads; and brake discs, which aresecured to the drive line.

When the hand activated brake lever (A) is applied itcontacts piston (B) within the master cylinder. As themaster cylinder piston moves inward it closes a smallopening (compensating port C) within the cylinder andstarts to build pressure within the brake system. Asthe pressure within the system is increased, thepiston(D) located in the brake caliper moves outward andapplies pressure to the brake pad. This pad contactsthe brake disc and moves the caliper in its floatingbracket, pulling the stationary side pad into the brakedisc. The resulting friction reduces brake disc andvehicle speed. As the lever pressure is increased, thebraking affect is also increased.

The friction applied to the brake pads will cause thepads to wear. As these pads wear, the piston withinthe caliper moves further outward and becomes selfadjusting. Fluid from the reservoir fills the additionalarea created when the caliper piston moves outward.

Brake fluid level is critical to proper system operation.Too little fluid will allow air to enter the system andcause the brakes to feel spongy. Too much fluid couldcause brakes to drag due to fluid expansion.

Located within the master cylinder is thecompensating port (C) which is opened and closed bythe master cylinder piston assembly. The port is open

when the lever is released and the master cylinderpiston is outward. As the temperature within thehydraulic system changes, this port compensates forfluid expansion (heated fluid) or contraction (cooledfluid). During system service, be sure this port isopen. Due to the high temperatures created within thesystem during heavy braking, it is very important thatthe master cylinder reservoir have adequate space toallow for fluid expansion. Never overfill thereservoir! Fill to 1/4� - 5/16� (.64 - .80 cm) from topof the cylinder.

This system also incorporates a diaphragm (E) as partof the cover gasket; and a vent port (F) locatedbetween the gasket and the cover. The combinationdiaphragm and vent allow for the air above the fluid toequalize pressure as the fluid expands or contracts.Make sure the vent is open and allowed to function.If the reservoir is over filled or the diaphragm vent isplugged the expanding fluid may build pressure in thebrake system leading to brake failure.

When servicing Polaris ATV brake systems, use onlyPolaris DOT 3 Brake Fluid (PN 2870990).

WARNING: Once a bottle is opened, use what isnecessary and discard the rest in accordance withlocal laws. Do not store or use a partial bottle of brakefluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidlyabsorbs moisture. This causes the boilingtemperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can leadto brake fade and the possible loss of control.

HYDRAULICCALIPER BLEEDINGThis caliper is a single piston design. The caliperpistons are “T”-shaped, which allows both hand andfoot brake to use the same caliper piston, but remainseparated by seals. The hand brake system applieshydraulic pressure to both front calipers and only theouter diameter of the rear caliper pistons. Theauxiliary (foot) brake applies pressure to the innerportion of the rear caliper pistons. Because the handand foot brake hydraulic systems are separate, thereare also two bleed screws -- one for the outer fluidchamber (hand brake), and one for the inner fluidchamber (foot brake). The basic procedure forbleeding the brake system is the same as outlined onpage 9.4 - 9.5, however, each system must be bledseparately.

Hydraulic Auxiliary Brake inspection and adjustmentis outlined in Chapter 2 beginning on Page 2.27.

ELECTRICAL SERVICENOTESKeep the following notes in mind when diagnosing anelectrical problem.

GAll Voltage, amperage, and resistancevalues in this manual were obtainedwith a Fluket 77 Digital Multimeter.This meter is used for diagnosingelectrical problems. Readings obtainedwith other meters may differ.

GRefer to wiring diagram for stator andelectrical component resistancespecifications.

GWhen measuring resistance of acomponent that has a resistance valueunder 10 Ohms, remember to subtractmeter lead resistance from the reading.Connect the leads together and recordthe resistance. The resistance of thecomponent is equal to tested value minusthe lead resistance.

GBecome familiar with the operation of yourmeter. Be sure leads are in the properjack for the test being performed (i.e. 10Ajack for current readings). Refer to theOwner’s manual included with yourmeter for more information.

GPay attention to the prefix on themultimeter reading (K, M, etc.) and theposition of the decimal point.

GFor resistance readings, isolate thecomponent to be tested. Disconnect itfrom the wiring harness or power supply.

TIMING CHECK PROCEDURE1. The ignition timing check hole is in the starter

recoil/magneto housing. Remove the check plug.

Check Plug

NOTE: The ignition timing marks are stamped on theoutside of the flywheel. Ignition timing must beinspected with the engine at room temperature (68�F/ 20� C).2. With the transmission in neutral, start the engine

and open throttle until engine is at 5000 � 200RPM.

3. Direct the timing light at the ignition timing checkhole and check the ignition timing. NOTE: Do notallow the engine to warm up. The timing will retardapproximately 2� when the engine is warm.

If the ignition timing is not within the specified range,test the ignition components for signs of failure.

The timing tag on the flywheel indicates the directionof rotation and the scale for ignition timing.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTERTROUBLESHOOTINGIntroductionThe Polaris ATV Instrument Cluster is powered bybattery voltage (12 VDC) and requires inputs from theengine RPM, transmission gear, and wheel speedsensor for proper operation. Two harnesses plug intothe cluster head; one from the wheel sensor, and onefrom the vehicle main harness. A non-serviceableinternal memory battery maintains odometer andhour meter data when the machine is not running.The illumination lamp inside the gauge isnon-serviceable and is designed to last for the life ofthe unit. In addition to the ground speed in Miles PerHour (MPH), Kilometers Per Hour (KPH), odometer,and trip odometer, the electronic speedometerprovides the following functions: (See Illustration)1. Hour meter

2. Programmable Service Interval3. Gear Indicator4. High Engine Coolant Temperature5. Low Oil Pressure6. High/Low Battery Voltage

Vehicle Speed and OdometerAn electronic wheel speed sensor located on the rightfront brake caliper bracket senses vehicle speed. Thespeedometer head does not differentiate betweenforward and reverse wheel rotation. Static TimingLight Harness (PN 2871745), with the Hall SensorProbe Harness (PN 2460761), can be used to quicklytest the sensor.

Hour Meter (Engine Run Time)Logs the total hours the engine has been in operation.

Programmable Service IntervalThe purpose of the programmable service interval isto provide the consumer and their dealer with aconvenient way to schedule routine maintenance.When the ATV leaves the factory, this feature isturned “OFF”. You must enable this feature if youintend to use it to track maintenance requirements.

Low Oil PressureIndicates that the engines is operating on low oilpressure or that the engine is running low on oil.

High Engine Coolant TemperatureIndicates the engine is overheating. Refer to Chapter3 “Cooling System Troubleshooting” for help withdiagnosis of overheating.

High/Low Battery VoltageIndicates that the battery is nearing full discharge, orthat a failed battery or voltage regulator is causing an

excessively high voltage on the DC bus.

Diagnostic ModeRefer to Page 10.6 on how to operate the diagnosticmode.

2. Speedometer Needle -- In addition to depictingvehicle speed, this needle will flash to indicate a faultcondition.

3. Speedometer graph depicting both miles per hourand kilometers per hour.

Programmable Service IntervalTo enable the programmable service interval function,scroll to the Programmable Service Interval (P.S.I.)mode, which is initially indicated by the “wrench” iconand the word “OFF”.

1. Press and hold the mode/reverse override buttonuntil the wrench icon begins flashing. When thewrench icon begins to flash, release the button.



10.6

PROGRAM SERVICE INTERVAL CONT’D

2. Begin entering the next service hour total byreleasing and pressing the mode/reverse overridebutton. Each time the mode/reverse override buttonis pressed and released the service interval time isincreased by an hour. NOTE: Continuing to holddown the mode button will add to the hour total faster.

3. When the desired hour total has been reached,stop pressing the mode/reverse override button andwait for the wrench icon to quit flashing. Once thewrench icon quits flashing the service hours are set.If you scroll past the intended number, hold the buttondown until the count turns over to “0”. At this point youcan re--attempt to set the number.

4. The P.S.I. then counts down from this total perhours of engine operation.

5. When the number reaches “0”, the wrench icon willflash for five seconds during vehicle start up to remindthe driver that the next scheduled service is due. Toturn the P.S.I. off, toggle to the service interval modeand press the mode/reverse override button forapproximately seven seconds until the word “OFF”appears in the Rider Information Center.

Diagnostic ModeWarning Indications Displayed on RiderInformation Center

Warning Indication Warning Explanation

“E” Most of the time this errormessage indicates that youare between gears. It canalso indicate that the trans-mission switch is broken.

“StAtr” “Stator” -- is displayed whenthe gauge senses groundspeed but no engine rpm forat least 10 seconds. May in-dicate a failing stator or wir-ing problem.

“hdLbr” “Handlebar” -- is displayedwhen the mode/override but-ton is stuck in for more thanten seconds in any mode ex-cept Programmable ServiceInterval or Diagnosticmodes.

NOTE: The gauge will shut itself off if the voltage onthe DC bus is too excessive. This is usually the resultof an open battery condition. The gauge is designedto survive such an event.

NOTE: If the gauge will not indicate what gear it is inand will not allow AWD operation, AWD can still beenabled by holding in the mode/override button.

To enter the diagnostics mode:

1. Turn the key switch off and wait 10 seconds.2. Set the park brake and shift the transmission to

neutral.3. Hold the mode/reverse override button as you

turn the key switch on.

The initial screen displayed looks similar to Ill. 1 andis referring to the software version currently installedin your instrument cluster. This information is onlybriefly displayed.

Ill. 1

Use the mode/reverse override button to togglethrough the diagnostic screens.

The first screen indicates battery voltage. Refer to Ill.2.

Ill. 2

Screen three (Ill. 4) is the tachometer for setting idlespeed. This mode is not operational while in motion.

Ill. 4

NOTE: As long as you are in the diagnostic mode, thewrench icon will remain lit.



10.7

To leave the diagnostic mode, either shift the machineout of neutral or turn the key switch off and on.

NOTE: Any movement of the tires will trigger thespeedometer out of the diagnostic mode.

SPEEDOMETER REMOVAL1. Remove the headlight pod cover and disconnect

the wire connectors from the instrument cluster.

2. Push the instrument cluster out from the backsideof the pod, while securely holding the pod.

SPEEDOMETERTROUBLESHOOTING CONT’DTEST 7 -- -- RESET SPEEDOMETER

If the key switch or engine stop switch is turned off withthe vehicle in motion, the speedometer indicatorneedle may stick, indicating the speed at which thevehicle was traveling when the speedometer lostpower. For example: If the ATV was traveling 30 mphwhen the engine stop switch is turned off, speedo mayindicate 30 mph until reset:1. Operate vehicle at a speed greater than indicatedon speedometer (past point where needle is stuck).Needle should return to normal operation.2. In the above example, the ATV speed would haveto exceed 30 mph to reset.

COOLANT TEMPERATURESENSOR TEST (HOT LIGHT)With the ignition switch (and engine stop switch) “ON”,power is delivered to the hot light via the Red/Whitewire. The Blue/White wire (ground) out of the lightsocket is connected to the coolant temperaturesensor on the cylinder head. In normal operatingconditions, the temperature sensor is non-conductive(open). If engine coolant reaches the specifiedtemperature, the sensor becomes conductivecompleting the ground path for the light.

With engine cold, disconnect lead and measureresistance of sensor between connector terminal andground. There should be no continuity or very highresistance (megohms).

Hot Light On 230� F (110� C)

FAN CONTROL CIRCUITOPERATION / TESTINGThe fan switch is located on the radiator. Power issupplied to the fan switch via the Red/Black wire whenthe ignition key is ON. When the fan switch reachesthe specified temperature, it becomes conductive andsends power to the fan motor through to theOrange/Black wire. The ground path for the fan motoris through the Brown harness wire.

CAUTION: Keep hands away from fan bladesduring this procedure. Serious personal injurycould result.

NOTE: The fan switch may not function or operationmay be delayed if coolant level is low or if air is trappedin the cooling system. Be sure cooling system is full andpurged of air. Refer to Maintenance Chapter 2 forcooling system information.

FAN CONTROL SWITCHBYPASS TEST1. Disconnect harness from fan switch on radiator.

2. Place a jumper wire between the Red/Blk andOrg/Blk wires in the connector.

3. With the ATV in “Park” and with the parking brakeon, turn the ignition key (and engine stop switch)“ON”. The fan should start running.

4. If the fan runs with the jumper wire installed,check the fan control switch and connectorterminals. If the fan does not run or runs slowlywith the jumper wire installed, check the fan motorwiring, ground, and motor condition (refer to FanMotor Testing this section). Repair or replace asnecessary.

FAN MOTOR CURRENT DRAWA current draw test will provide a good indication of fanmotor condition. A worn or damaged fan motor willdraw more current, which causes a reduction in bladespeed and reduced cooling.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLECONTROL (ETC) SWITCHThe Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system isdesigned to stop the engine of an ATV in the event ofa mechanical problem with the throttle mechanism.The ETC switch is mounted independently of thethrottle actuator lever inside the throttle blockassembly. This is a normally closed switch, and isheld in the open position (contacts are separated (asshown below) by throttle cable tension. The contactsare “open” during normal operation regardless ofthrottle lever position. In the event of a mechanicalproblem in the throttle mechanism (cable tension islost), the switch contacts close, connecting the CDIblack wire to ground, which prevents ignition spark.This is the same as turning the key or engine stopswitch “OFF”.

Test the ETC switch at the harness connector. NOTE:Adjust throttle cable freeplay (ETC switch) and makesure throttle mechanism is functioning properly beforetesting the switch. Refer to Maintenance Chapter 2for cable adjustment procedure.

ETC OPERATION TESTRemove throttle block cover by carefully releasing alltabs around edge of cover.

Place transmission in neutral and apply parkingbrake.

Start engine and open throttle lever slightly untilengine RPM is just above idle speed.

Hold throttle cable with fingers at point “A” as shownbelow and release throttle lever. If the ETC system isfunctioning properly, the engine will lose spark andstop.

CHARGING SYSTEM “BREAKEVEN” TESTCAUTION: Do not allow the battery cable orammeter to become disconnected with theengine running. Follow the steps below asoutlined to reduce the chance of damage toelectrical components.

WARNING: Never start the engine with the ammeterconnected in series. Damage to the meter or meterfuse will result. Do not run test for extended period oftime. Do not run test with high amperage accessories.

The “break even” point of the charging system is thepoint at which the alternator overcomes all systemloads (lights, etc.) and begins to charge the battery.Depending on battery condition and system load, thebreak even point may vary slightly. The battery shouldbe fully charged before performing this test.

1. Connect a tachometer according tomanufacturer’s instructions.

2. With the negative cable still connected to thebattery, connect one meter lead (set to DC amps)to the battery post and the other to the negativebattery cable

3. With engine off and the key and kill switch in theON position, the ammeter should read negativeamps (battery discharge). Reverse meter leads ifa positive reading is indicated.

4. Shift transmission into neutral and start theengine. With the engine running at idle,disconnect the negative cable from the batterypost without disturbing the meter leads. Observemeter readings

5. Increase engine RPM while observing ammeterand tachometer.

6. Note RPM at which the battery starts to charge(ammeter indication is positive).

7. With lights and other electrical load off, the “breakeven” point should occur at approximately 1500RPM or lower.

8. Turn the lights on and engage parking brake lockto keep brake light on.

9. Repeat test, observing ammeter and tachometer.With lights on, charging should occur at or below2000 RPM.

ALTERNATOR OUTPUT TEST(AC AMP)This test measures AC amperage from the alternator.

CAUTION: This test simulates a “full load” on thealternator at idle. Do not increase idle RPM or performthis test longer than required to obtain a reading. Thealternator stator windings may overheat. 3--5seconds is acceptable.

INITIAL BATTERY ACTIVATION

WARNINGBattery electrolyte is poisonous. It containssulfuric acid. Serious burns can result from con-tact with skin, eyes or clothing. Antidote:

External: Flush with water.

Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk.Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, orvegetable oil. Call physician immediately.

Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and getprompt medical attention.

Batteries produce explosive gases. Keepsparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away. Ventilatewhen charging or using in an enclosed space.Always shield eyes when working near batter-ies. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

WARNING:The gases given off by a battery areexplosive. Any spark or open flame near a battery cancause an explosion which will spray battery acid onanyone close to it. If battery acid gets on anyone,wash the affected area with large quantities of coolwater and seek immediate medical attention.

To ensure maximum service life and performancefrom a new battery, perform the following steps.NOTE: Do not service the battery unless it will be putinto regular service within 30 days. After initialservice, add only distilled water to the battery.Never add electrolyte after a battery has been inservice.

NOTE: New Battery: Battery must be fully chargedbefore use or battery life will be significantly reduced10-30% of the battery’s full potential.

To activate a new battery:

1. Remove vent plug from vent fitting. Remove cellcaps.

2. Fill battery with electrolyte to upper level marks oncase.

3. Set battery aside to allow for acid absorption andstabilization for 30 minutes.

4. Add electrolyte to bring level back to upper levelmark on case. NOTE: This is the last time thatelectrolyte should be added. If the level becomeslow after this point, add only distilled water.

5. Charge battery at 1/10 of its amp/hour rating.Examples: 1/10 of 9 amp battery = .9 amp; 1/10of 14 amp battery = 1.4 amp; 1/10 of 18 amp

battery = 1.8 amp (recommended chargingrates).

6. Check specific gravity of each cell with ahydrometer to assure each has a reading of 1.270or higher.

BATTERYTERMINALS/TERMINAL BOLTSUse Polaris corrosion resistant Nyogelt grease (PN2871329) on battery bolts. See Battery Installation onPage 10.19.

BATTERYINSPECTION/REMOVALThe battery is located under the seat.

Inspect the battery fluid level. When the battery fluidnears the lower level, remove the battery and fill withdistilled water to the upper level line. To remove thebattery:

Maintainbetween upperand lower levelmarks

1. Disconnect holder strap and remove cover.



10.19

2. Disconnect battery negative (-) (black) cable first,followed by the positive (+) (red) cable.

CAUTION

Whenever removing or reinstalling the battery,disconnect the negative (black) cable first andreinstall the negative cable last!

3. Remove the battery.4. Remove the filler caps and add distilled water

only as needed to bring each cell to the properlevel. Do not overfill the battery.

Refill using only distilled water. Tap watercontains minerals which are harmful to a battery.

Do not allow cleaning solution or tap water insidethe battery. Battery life may be reduced.

5. Reinstall the battery caps.

BATTERY INSTALLATION1. Clean battery cables and terminals with a stiff wire

brush. Corrosion can be removed using asolution of one cup water and one tablespoonbaking soda. Rinse well with clean water and drythoroughly.

2. Reinstall battery, attaching positive (+) (red) cablefirst and then the negative (-) (black) cable. Coatterminals and bolt threads with Nyogelt Grease(PN 2871329).

3. Install clear battery vent tube from vehicle tobattery vent. WARNING: Vent tube must be freefrom obstructions and kinks and securelyinstalled. If not, battery gases could accumulateand cause an explosion. The vent tube should berouted away from frame and body to preventcontact with electrolyte. Avoid skin contact withelectrolyte, as severe burns could result. Ifelectrolyte contacts the vehicle frame, corrosionwill occur.

4. Route the cables correctly.

5. Reinstall the holder strap.

BATTERY TESTINGWhenever a service complaint is related to either thestarting or charging systems, the battery should bechecked first.

Following are three tests which can easily be made ona battery to determine its condition: OCV Test,Specific Gravity Test and Load Test.

OCV - OPEN CIRCUITVOLTAGE TESTBattery voltage should be checked with a digitalmultitester. Readings of 12.6 volts or less requirefurther battery testing and charging. See charts andLoad Test on below.

NOTE: Lead-acid batteries should be kept at or neara full charge as possible. Electrolyte level should bekept between the low and full marks. If the battery isstored or used in a partially charged condition, or withlow electrolyte levels, hard crystal sulfation will formon the plates, reducing the efficiency and service lifeof the battery.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY TESTA tool such as a Battery Hydrometer (PN 2870836)can be used to measure electrolyte strength orspecific gravity. As the battery goes through thecharge/discharge cycle, the electrolyte goes from aheavy (more acidic) state at full charge to a light (morewater) state when discharged. The hydrometer canmeasure state of charge and differences betweencells in a multi-cell battery. Readings of 1.270 orgreater should be observed in a fully charged battery.Differences of more than .025 between the lowest andhighest cell readings indicate a need to replace thebattery.

LOAD TESTCAUTION: To prevent shock or componentdamage, remove spark plug high tension leadsand connect securely to engine ground beforeproceeding.NOTE: This test can only be performed on machineswith electric starters. This test cannot be performedwith an engine or starting system that is not workingproperly.A battery may indicate a full charge condition in the OCVtest and the specific gravity test, but still may not havethe storage capacity necessary to properly function inthe electrical system. For this reason, a battery capacityor load test should be conducted whenever poor batteryperformance is encountered. To perform this test, hooka multitester to the battery in the same manner as wasdone in the OCV test. The reading should be 12.6 voltsor greater. Engage the starter and observe the batteryvoltage while cranking the engine. Continue the test for15 seconds. During cranking the observed voltageshould not drop below 9.5 volts. If the beginning voltageis 12.6 volts or higher and the cranking voltage dropsbelow 9.5 volts during the test, replace the battery.

OFF SEASON STORAGETo prevent battery damage during extended periodsof non-use, the following basic battery maintenanceitems must be performed:

GRemove the battery from the machineand wash the case and battery traywith a mild solution of baking sodaand water. Rinse with lots of freshwater after cleaning. NOTE: Do notget any of the baking soda into thebattery or the acid will be neutralized.

GUsing a wire brush or knife, remove anycorrosion from the cables andterminals.

GMake sure that the electrolyte is at theproper level. Add distilled water ifnecessary.

GCharge at a rate no greater than 1/10 ofthe battery’s amp/hr capacity untilthe electrolyte’s specific gravityreaches 1.270 or greater.

GStore the battery either in the machinewith the cables disconnected, orstore in a cool place.

NOTE: Stored batteries lose their charge at the rateof 1% per day. Recharge to full capacity every 30 to60 days during a non-use period. If the battery isstored during the winter months, electrolyte will freezeat higher temperatures as the battery discharges.The chart below indicates freezing points by specificgravity.

order of shims on drive end for reassembly.

2. Inspect surface of commutator. Replace ifexcessively worn or damaged.

3. Using a digital multitester, measure the resistancebetween each of the commutator segments. Thereading should be .3 ohms or less.

4. Measure the resistance between eachcommutator segment and the armature shaft.The reading should be infinite (no continuity).

5. Check commutator bars for discoloration. Barsdiscolored in pairs indicate shorted coils,requiring replacement of the starter motor.

6. Place armature in a growler. Turn growler on andposition a hacksaw blade or feeler gaugelengthwise 1/8� (.3 cm) above armature coillaminates. Rotate armature 360�. If hacksawblade is drawn to armature on any pole, thearmature is shorted and must be replaced.

CAUTION:

Use care when handling starter housing. Do not dropor strike the housing as magnet damage is possible.If magnets are damaged, starter must be replaced.

STARTER SYSTEM TESTING FLOW CHARTCondition: Starter fails to turn motor. NOTE: Make sure engine crankshaft is free to turn before proceeding withdynamic testing of starter system. A digital multitester must be used for this test.

With the tester on the VDC position, place the tes-ter’s black lead on the battery negative and the redlead on the battery positive.

Reading should be 12.4 V D. C. or greater.

Remove battery and properly service.Install fully charged shop battery to continuetest.

Disconnect White/Red engagement coil wire fromthe starter solenoid. Connect tester black wire tobattery ground. Connect red tester lead to White/Red harness wire at solenoid. Turn on ignitionswitch and depress the starter button. Testershould read battery voltage.

Check voltage on both sides of circuitbreaker, ignition switch/engine stop switchand starter button. The voltage on bothsides should be the same. NOTE: The igni-tion switch and engine stop switch must beon and the key switch turned to “Start”. Re-place the defective component.

Reconnect the solenoid. Connect the tester blacklead to the battery positive and the red lead to thesolenoid end of the battery-to-solenoid wire. De-press starter button. Reading should be less than.1 V D.C.

Clean the battery-to-solenoid cable ends orreplace the cable.

Connect the black tester lead to solenoid end ofbattery-to-solenoid cable. Connect red tester leadto solenoid end of solenoid-to-starter cable. De-press starter button. Reading should be less than.1 V D.C.

Replace the starter solenoid.

Connect the black tester lead to the solenoid end ofthe solenoid-to-starter cable. Connect the red testerlead to the starter end of the same cable. Depressthe starter button. The reading should be less than.1 V D.C.

Clean the solenoid-to-starter cable ends orreplace the cable.
