Exhaust Pipe
The exhaust pipe must be periodically purged of accumulated
carbon as follows:
1.
Remove the clean out plugs located on the bottom of the
muffler as shown
2.
Place the transmission in neutral and start the engine. Purge
accumulated carbon from the system by momentarily
revving the engine several times.
3.
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.
4.
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. See WARNING in this section.
5.
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. Set the hand brake and block the
wheels. Make sure the machine is in neutral and repeat
Steps 2 and 3. SEE WARNING in this section.
6.
Repeat Steps 2 through 5 until no more particles are
expelled when the engine is revved.
7.
Stop the engine and allow the arrestor to cool.
8.
Reinstall the clean out plugs.
Brake System Inspection
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.
• Keep fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir to the
indicated level inside reservoir (See Chapter 9)
• Use Polaris DOT-approved Brake Fluid.
• Check brake system for fluid leaks, look for dust build
up on lines and connections that may indicate a fluid
leak
• Check brake for excessive travel or spongy feel
• Check friction pads for wear, damage or looseness (see
Chapter 9)
• Check surface condition of the disc (see Chapter 9)
Clean Out Plug
1 ft. (30.5 cm)
WARNING
* Do not perform clean-out immediately after the
engine has been run, as the exhaust system
becomes very hot. Serious burns could result from
contact with hot exhaust components.
* To reduce fire hazard, make sure that there are no
combustible materials in the area when purging the
spark arrestor.
* Wear eye protection.
* Do not stand behind or in front of the vehicle while
purging the carbon from the spark arrestor.Never
run the engine in an enclosed area.
* Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas.
* Do not go under the machine while it is inclined.
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.
