BTDC: Before top dead center. CC: Cubic centimeters. Center Distance: Distance between center of crankshaft and center of driven clutch shaft. Chain Pitch: Distance between chain link pins (No. 35 = 3/8" or 1 cm). Polaris measures chain length in number of pitches. CI: Cubic inches. Clutch Buttons: Plastic bushings which aid rotation of the movable sheave in the drive and driven clutch. Clutch Offset: Drive and driven clutches are offset so that drive belt will stay nearly straight as it moves along the clutch face. Clutch Weights: Three levers in the drive clutch which relative to their weight, profile and engine RPM cause the drive clutch to close and grip the drive belt. Crankshaft Run-Out: Run-out or "bend" of crankshaft measured with a dial indicator while crankshaft is supported between centers on V blocks or resting in crankcase. Measure at various points especially at PTO. DCV: Direct current voltage CVT: Centrifugal Variable Transmission (Drive Clutch System) DCV: Direct current voltage. Dial Bore Gauge: A cylinder measuring instrument which uses a dial indicator. Good for showing taper and out-of-round in the cylinder bore. Electrical Open: Open circuit. An electrical circuit which isn't complete. Electrical Short: Short circuit. An electrical circuit which is completed before the current reaches the intended load. (i.e. a bare wire touching the chassis). End Seals: Rubber seals at each end of the crankshaft. Engagement RPM: Engine RPM at which the drive clutch engages to make contact with the drive belt. ft.: Foot/feet. Foot Pound: Ft. lb. A force of one pound at the end of a lever one foot in length, applied in a rotational direction. g: Gram. Unit of weight in the metric system. gal.: Gallon. ID: Inside diameter. in.: Inch/inches. Inch Pound: In. lb. 12 in. lbs. = 1 ft. lb. kg/cm²: Kilograms per square centimeter. kg-m: Kilogram meters. Kilogram/meter: A force of one kilogram at the end of a lever one meter in length, applied in a rotational direction. l or ltr: Liter. lbs/in²: Pounds per square inch. Left or Right Side: Always referred to based on normal operating position of the driver. m: Meter/meters. Mag: Magneto. Magnetic Induction: As a conductor (coil) is moved through a magnetic field, a voltage will be generated in the windings. Mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy in the stator. mi.: Mile/miles. mm: Millimeter. Unit of length in the metric system. 1 mm = approximately .040". Nm: Newton meters. OD: Outside diameter. Ohm: The unit of electrical resistance opposing current flow. oz.: Ounce/ounces. Piston Clearance: Total distance between piston and cylinder wall. psi.: Pounds per square inch. PTO: Power take off. PVT: Polaris Variable Transmission (Drive Clutch system) qt.: Quart/quarts. Regulator: Voltage regulator. Regulates battery charging system output at approx. 14.5 DCV as engine RPM increases. Reservoir Tank: The fill tank in the liquid cooling system. Resistance: In the mechanical sense, friction or load. In the electrical sense, ohms, resulting in energy conversion to heat. RPM: Revolutions per minute. Seized Piston: Galling of the sides of a piston. Usually there is a transfer of aluminum from the piston onto the cylinder wall. Possible causes: 1) improper lubrication; 2) excessive temperatures; 3) insufficient piston clearance; 4) stuck piston rings. Stator Plate: The plate mounted under the flywheel supporting the battery charging coils. TDC: Top dead center. Piston's most outward travel from crankshaft. Volt: The unit of measure for electrical pressure of electromotive force. Measured by a voltmeter in parallel with the circuit. Watt: Unit of electrical power. Watts = amperes x volts.

Overview 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 Pure Polaris parts available from your Polaris dealer. NOTE: Service and adjustments are critical. If you’re not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these operations. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10 miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and serviced more frequently. Severe Use Definition • 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 crankcase. 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. Break-In Period The break-in period consists of the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use 14 gallons (53 liters) of fuel. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components. • Drive vehicle slowly at first while varying the throttle position. Do not operate at sustained idle. • Pull only light loads. • Perform regular checks on fluid levels and other areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. • Change both the engine oil and filter after 25 hours or one month. • See “Owner’s Manual” for additional break-in information.

MAINTENANCE Air Intake Exploded View P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 2 2.13 MAINTENANCE ENGINE Compression and Leakdown Test NOTE: 4-Stroke 500 engines are equipped with an automatic decompressor. Compression readings will vary in proportion to cranking speed during the test. Average compression (measured) is about 60-90 psi during a compression test. Breather Hose Be sure breather line is routed properly and secured in place. CAUTION: Make sure line(s) are not kinked or pinched. Flywheel Housing Drain Plug • Drain the flywheel housing periodically to remove moisture. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Smooth idle generally indicates good compression. Low engine compression is rarely a factor in running condition problems above idle speed. Abnormally high compression can be caused by a decompressor malfunction, or worn or damaged exhaust cam lobes. Inspect camshaft and automatic decompression mechanism if compression is abnormally high. NOTE: In-line breather filter service life is extended when the engine air intake baffle box filter element is in place and maintained properly. Never operate the engine without the filter element in the baffle box. A cylinder leakage test is the best indication of engine condition on models with automatic decompression. Follow manufacturer’s instructions to perform a cylinder leakage test (never use high pressure leakage testers as crankshaft seals may dislodge and leak). • Drain the flywheel housing after operating the vehicle in very wet conditions. This should also be done before storing the vehicle. The drain screw is located at the bottom of the flywheel housing. Remove the plug to drain. Reinstall the plug after the housing has been completely drained. Cylinder Compression Standard 60-90 PSI Cylinder Leakage Service Limit: 10% (Inspect for cause if leakage exceeds 10%) Breather Filter Inspection This engine is equipped with a breather filter. The in-line filter is similar in appearance to a fuel filter, and is visible on the left side (A) of the engine. Follow right hand breather line out of the side of the airbox and locate filter. Remove the filter and blow through it gently in the direction of the arrow on filter to check for clogging. Replace as needed. A In-line breather filters should be installed with the arrow pointing toward the engine (away from the air box). 2.14 IMPORTANT: Do not operate the vehicle with the flywheel housing drain plug removed. • After traveling through wet conditions, the flywheel housing and starter should always be drained completely by removing the housing. MAINTENANCE Engine Oil Level Engine Oil and Filter Change The oil tank is located on the left side of the vehicle under the seat. To check the oil level: 1. Set machine on a level surface. 2. Start and run engine for 20-30 seconds. This will return oil to its true level in the oil tank. 3. Stop engine, remove the bench seat. 4. The oil tank is located on the driver side.

MAINTENANCE STEERING • If abnormal movement is detected, inspect the hub and wheel assembly to determine the cause (loose wheel nuts or loose front hub nut). Steering The steering components should be checked periodically for loose fasteners, worn tie rod ends, and damage. Also check to make sure all cotter pins are in place. If cotter pins are removed, they must not be re-used. Always use new cotter pins. 2 Wheel Toe Alignment Inspection 1. Place machine on a smooth level surface and set steering wheel in a straight ahead position. Secure the steering wheel in this position. 2. Place a chalk mark on the center line of the front tires approximately 10” (25.4 cm) from the floor or as close to the hub/axle center line as possible. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Replace any worn or damaged steering components. Steering should move freely through entire range of travel without binding. Check routing of all cables, hoses, and wiring to be sure the steering mechanism is not restricted or limited. • Refer to the Body/Steering or Final Drive chapter for more information. NOTE: Whenever steering components are replaced, check front end alignment. Use only genuine Polaris parts. WARNING Due to the critical nature of the procedures outlined in this chapter, Polaris recommends steering component repair and adjustment be performed by an authorized Polaris MSDcertified technician when replacing worn or damaged steering parts. Use only genuine Polaris replacement parts. Tie Rod End / Steering Inspection • To check for play in the tie rod end, grasp the steering tie rod, pull in all directions feeling for movement. • Replace any worn steering components. Steering should move freely through entire range of travel without binding. NOTE: It is important the height of both marks be equally positioned to get an accurate measurement. 3. 4. 5. • Elevate front end of machine so front wheels are off the ground. Check for any looseness in front hub/wheel assembly by grasping the tire firmly at top and bottom first, and then at front and rear. Try to move the wheel and hub by pushing inward and pulling outward. Measure the distance between the marks and record the measurement. Call this measurement “A”. Rotate the tires 180° by moving the vehicle forward. Position chalk marks facing rearward, even with the hub/ axle center line. Again measure the distance between the marks and record. Call this measurement “B”. Subtract measurement “B” from measurement “A”. The difference between measurements “A” and “B” is the vehicle toe alignment. The recommended vehicle toe tolerance is 1/8”, to 1/4”, (.3 to .6 cm) toe out. This means the measurement at the front of the tire (A) is 1/8”, to 1/4”, (.3 to .6 cm) wider than the measurement at the rear (B). = In. / mm. Wheel Toe-Out: (A) - (B) = 1/8 - 1/4" (.3 to .6 cm) 2.31 MAINTENANCE Toe Adjustment If toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance between vehicle center and each wheel. This will tell you which tie rod needs adjusting. • IMPORTANT: When tightening the tie rod end jam nuts, the rod ends must be held parallel to prevent rod end damage and premature wear. Damage may not be immediately apparent if done incorrectly. • After alignment is complete, torque jam nuts to 12-14 ft. lbs. (16-19 Nm). =T P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Tie Rod Jam Nut Torque: 12-14 ft. lbs. (16-19 Nm) SUSPENSION Suspension Inspection Compress and release the suspension. Damping should be smooth throughout the range of travel. • Check all suspension components and mounting fasteners for wear or damage. • Inspect each shock body for leakage. Spring Pre-Load Adjustment The front and rear shock absorber springs are adjustable. Rotate the adjuster cam either direction to increase or decrease spring tension. Always adjust both sides equally. NOTE: Be sure steering wheel is straight ahead before determining which tie rod needs adjustment. CAUTION During tie rod adjustment, it is very important that the following precautions be taken when tightening tie rod end jam nuts. If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it will not pivot, and may break. To adjust toe alignment: • Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating. • Loosen jam nuts at both end of the tie rod. • Shorten or lengthen the tie rod until alignment is as required to achieve the proper toe setting as specified in “Wheel Toe Alignment”. Vehicle loads effect suspension spring pre-load requirements. Use Spanner Wrench (PN 2870872) to adjust pre-load as necessary to avoid bottoming of the shocks. Shock Spanner Wrench (PN 2871095) 2.32 MAINTENANCE Shock Position Adjustment BRAKE SYSTEM The front and rear shock position may be adjusted to provide a stiffer suspension if necessary. Brake Fluid Inspection 1. Remove the top shock mounting bolts on each side. 2. Reposition the shocks to the outside mounting holes. Always check the brake pedal travel and inspect the brake fluid reservoir level before each operation. If the fluid level is low, add DOT 4 brake fluid only. Brake fluid should be changed every two years. The fluid should also be changed anytime the fluid becomes contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum level, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir is unknown. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m The brake master cylinder reservoir can be accessed through the front left wheel well. Rear Shock Position Adjustment 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Place the transmission in Neutral (N) and set the parking brake. 3. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should be between the MAX and MIN level lines. 4. If the fluid level is lower than the MIN level line, add brake fluid until it reaches the MAX level line. 5. Install the reservoir cap and apply the brake pedal forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the master cylinder fittings and the brake caliper fittings. Outside (Stiff) Inside Master Cylinder (soft) 3. Reinstall the shock mounting bolts and torque to specification. =T Brake Hose and Fitting Inspection Check brake system hoses and fittings for cracks, deterioration, abrasion, and leaks. Tighten any loose fittings and replace any worn or damaged parts. Shock Mounting Bolts: 30 ft. lbs. (41 Nm) 2.33 2 MAINTENANCE Brake Pad / Disc Inspection Check the brake pads for wear, damage, or looseness. 2. Inspect the brake pad wear surface for excessive wear. 3. Pads should be changed when the friction material is worn to .040” (1 mm). 1. Pull back on the parking brake lever (located in the dash). 2. After 2 to 3 clicks the “BRAKE” light should illuminate on the indicator panel and the wheels of the vehicle should not rotate when turning by hand. After 8 full clicks of lever travel, the vehicle should not roll while parked. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 1. Loss of tension in the parking brake cable will cause illumination of the parking brake light and activation of the limiting feature. If this occurs, inspect and adjust parking brake cable tension. If performing this service is difficult due to conditions or location, open the hood and temporarily disconnect the parking brake connector. Reconnect the connector as soon as practicable and adjust the parking brake cable to proper tension. Measure Pad Material Thickness Service Limit: .040" (1 mm) 3. If the vehicle moves, adjustment is necessary. 4. Adjust the parking brake cable where the cable attaches to the caliper mount bracket located on the rear gearcase. Adjustment Procedure: Refer to “Chapter 9 - Brakes” for complete adjustment procedure. 4. Check surface condition of the brake discs. 5. Measure the thickness of the front and rear brake discs. Parking Brake Pad Inspection 6. The disc(s) should be replaced if thickness is less than the specified service limit (see Chapter 9 for specifications). Measure the thickness of the rear caliper parking brake pads. Replace assembly as needed. See illustration below for proper readings. Measure Brake Disc Thickness Front Disc Rear Disc Inboard Pad Thickness New .304” (7.72 mm) Limit: 0.24” (6.1 mm) Inboard Pad Outboard Pad Outboard Pad Thickness New 0.360” (9.14 mm) Limit: 0.31” (7.87 mm) Parking Brake Cable Adjustment When the parking brake is fully engaged and the parking brake indicator is illuminated, engine speed is limited to 1300 RPM in all gears, including neutral. If throttle is applied, this limiting feature prevents operation, which protects the parking brake pads from excessive wear. NOTE: Inspect the parking brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours of operation afterwards to ensure proper cable tension. 2.34 Installed Disc to Park Brake 0.375”

If the crank rod pin location is 180o from the dial indicator, it will be necessary to spread the crankshaft at position A as shown in the following illustration. When rebuilding and straightening a crankshaft, runout must be as close to zero as possible. HIGH .002 (.05 mm) The chart on Page 3.10 describes the flow of oil through the EH50PL engine. Beginning at the oil tank, the oil flows through a screen fitting in the bottom of the tank and into the oil supply hose. The feed side of the oil pump draws oil through the hose and into the crankcase oil gallery, and then pumps the oil through another passage to the one way valve. When the engine is off, the one way valve closes to prevent oil in the tank from draining into the crankcase. The oil is pumped through a delivery pipe to the oil filter. If the oil filter is obstructed, a bypass valve contained in the filter allows oil to bypass the filter element.

Remove blind plug on front left cylinder head. 2. Insert a 1/8 NPT oil pressure gauge adaptor into the cylinder head and attach the gauge. 3. Start engine and allow it to reach operating temperature, monitoring gauge indicator. NOTE: Use Polaris PS-4 Plus Synthetic Engine Lubricant (PN 2876244). Oil Pressure at 5500 RPM (Engine Hot): Standard: 20 PSI Minimum: 12 PSI At this point, the oil is diverted in two directions: Oil is supplied to the camshaft through the left front cylinder stud, and an oil passage in the head. Oil enters the camshaft through the PTO (L) journal. The camshaft journals, cam lobes, and rocker arms are lubricated through holes in the camshaft. The oil lubricates the cam chain and sprocket and drains to the sump. The other oil path from the filter leads through a delivery pipe to the crankcase main oil gallery, which leads to the stator plate oil passage. Here it passes through the slotted friction bearing (located in the stator plate) into the crankshaft. An oil seal on the stator plate prevents oil from entering the stator/flywheel area. Oil travels through the crankshaft to the crank pin, lubricating the connecting rod large end bearing directly. Oil also passes through an oil jet (drilled orifice) in the end of the crank pin to the PTO end main bearings and counterbalancer gears. Residual oil from the lubrication of the crankshaft and connecting rod indirectly lubricates the cylinder wall, piston, rings, connecting rod small end bearing, piston pin, oil/water pump drive gears, cam chain and drive sprocket, and Magneto end crankshaft main bearing. The one-way valve is located on the front left (PTO) side of the crankcase. The valve prevents oil in the tank from draining into the engine sump when the engine is off. The valve mechanism consists of a plunger, return spring, guide plug, and sealing washer. When the engine is running, oil pressure lifts the plunger off the seat, allowing oil flow. When the engine is off, spring pressure forces the plunger against the oil passage seat, preventing oil flow from the tank to the sump. The one-way valve requires very little maintenance. If engine oil drains into the sump when the engine is off, inspect the valve sealing surface for debris or damage. Inspect the return spring for distortion or damage. 3.9 3 ENGINE EH50PL Oil Flow Diagram Internal passage to camshaft (front left head bolt) Oil filter P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Oil feed to filter From filter to crankshaft One way valve Bottom fitting is oil exhaust or return to tank Oil Tank Top fitting is oil feed or intake from bottom of tank Oil Flow Chart Top of Oil Tank Oil Tank Union Fitting (Upper) Oil Hose Oil Hose Union Fitting (Lower) Crankcase Oil Gallery Oil Pump (Scavenging) Screen Fitting (Bottom of tank) Crankcase Oil Gallery Oil Pump (Feed) Prevents oil from draining into crankcase with engine off One Way Valve Oil Strainer Crankcase Chain Room Cam Shaft Journal Sprocket Chain Rocker Arm Rocker Shaft Small End Bearing Cylinder Sleeve Indirect Lubrication Main Bearing (PTO) Cam Lobe Delivery Pipe Cam Shaft Journal Bypass Metal Oil Jet Oil Filter Through Cylinder Stud Front Left Delivery Pipe Delivery Pipe 3.10 Large End Bearing Crank Pin Crankshaft Crankcase Oil Gallery ENGINE EH50PL Engine Exploded View Crankcase Cylinder and Cylinder Head P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 3 Crankshaft and Piston Valve Train 3.11 ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM 2.

Refer to the “Valve Seat Reconditioning” procedure. Combustion Chamber Clean all accumulated carbon deposits from combustion chamber and valve seat area with a soft wire brush. ENGINE Valve Seat Reconditioning Valve Seat Inspection Inspect valve seat in cylinder head for pitting, burnt spots, roughness, and uneven surface. If any of the above conditions exist, the valve seat must be reconditioned. If the valve seat is cracked the cylinder head must be replaced. Cylinder Head Reconditioning 1. When thoroughly heated, place cylinder head on blocks of wood which will allow the old guides to be removed. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m NOTE: Servicing the valve guides and valve seats requires special tools and a thorough knowledge of reconditioning techniques. Follow the instructions provided in the cylinder head service tool kit. NOTE: Valve seat width and point of contact on the valve face is very important for proper sealing. The valve must contact the valve seat over the entire circumference of the seat, and the seat must be the proper width all the way around. If the seat is uneven, compression leakage will result. If the seat is too wide, seat pressure is reduced, causing carbon accumulation and possible compression loss. If the seat is too narrow, heat transfer from valve to seat is reduced and the valve may overheat and warp, resulting in burnt valves. CAUTION Wear eye protection when performing cylinder head service. Valve guide replacement will require heating of the cylinder head. Wear gloves to prevent burns. 1. Remove all carbon deposits from the combustion chamber, valve seat and valve guide area before attempting to remove valve guides. CAUTION: Carbon deposits are extremely abrasive and may damage the valve guide bore when guides are removed. 2. Place new valve guides in a freezer for at least 15 minutes while heating cylinder head. 3. Heat cylinder head in an oven or use a hot plate to bring cylinder head temperature to 212° F (100° C). CAUTION: Do not use a torch to heat cylinder head or warpage may result from uneven heating. Head temperature can be checked with a pyrometer or a welding temperature stick. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions provided with the valve seat cutters in commercially available valve seat reconditioning kits. Abrasive stone seat reconditioning equipment can also be used. Keep all valves in order with their respective seat. Uneven Good Using valve guide driver, drive guides out of the cylinder head from the combustion chamber side. Be careful not to damage guide bore or valve seat when removing guides. 3. Place cylinder head on cylinder head table. NOTE: Be sure cylinder head is still at 212° F (100° C) before installing new guides. 4. Valve Guide Removal / Installation Too Wide 2. Place a new guide in the valve guide installation tool and press guide in to proper depth. Check height of each guide above the cylinder head (A). Valve Guide Installed Height Valve Guide Height: .689 - .709” (17.5 - 18.0 mm) NOTE: The guide can also be driven in to the proper depth. Inspect the guide closely for cracks or damage if a driver is used. Too Narrow 3.21 3 ENGINE Reaming The Valve Guide 6. Allow cylinder head to cool to room temperature. Apply cutting oil to the reamer. Guides should be reamed from the valve spring side of the cylinder head. Ream each guide to size by turning the reamer clockwise continually. Continue to rotate reamer clockwise during removal of the tool. NOTE: Remove only the amount necessary to repair the seat surface. Clean guides thoroughly with hot soapy water and a nylon brush. Rinse and dry with compressed air. Apply clean engine oil to guides. 7. Install pilot into valve guide. 8. Apply cutting oil to valve seat and cutter. 9. Place 46o cutter on the pilot and make a light cut. of material 11. To check the contact area of the seat on the valve face, apply a thin coating of Prussian Blue™ paste to the valve seat. If using an interference angle (46o) apply black permanent marker to the entire valve face (A). P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 5. • If the contact area of the initial cut is greater than 75%, continue to cut the seat until all pits are removed and a new seat surface is evident. A 12. Insert valve into guide and tap valve lightly into place a few times. 13. Remove valve and check where the Prussian Blue™ indicates seat contact on the valve face. The valve seat should contact the middle of the valve face or slightly above, and must be the proper width. • If the indicated seat contact is at the top edge of the valve face and contacts the margin area it is too high on the valve face. Use the 30o cutter to lower the valve seat. • If too low use the 60o or 75o cutter to raise the seat. When contact area is centered on the valve face, measure seat width. • If the seat is too wide or uneven, use both top and bottom cutters to narrow the seat. 10. Inspect the cut area of the seat. • If the contact area is less than 75% of the circumference of the seat, rotate the pilot 180o and make another light cut. • If the cutter now contacts the uncut portion of the seat, check the pilot. Look for burrs, nicks, or runout. If the pilot is bent it must be replaced. • If the contact area of the cutter is in the same place, the valve guide is distorted from improper installation and must be replaced. Be sure the cylinder head is at the proper temperature and replace the guide. 3.22 • If the seat is too narrow, widen using the 45o cutter and re-check contact point on the valve face and seat width after each cut.

Dip valve spring and retainer in clean engine oil and install spring with closely spaced coils toward the cylinder head. NOTE: When using an interference angle, the seat contact point on the valve will be very narrow, and is a normal condition. Look for an even and continuous contact point on the black marked area, all the way around the valve face. 14. Clean all filings from the area with hot soapy water, rinse, and dry with compressed air. 15. Lubricate the valve guides with clean engine oil, and apply oil or water based lapping compound to the face of the valve. Lapping is not required with an interference angle. 16. Insert the valve into its respective guide and lap using a lapping tool or a section of fuel line connected to the valve stem. 17. Rotate the valve rapidly back and forth until the cut sounds smooth.

Inspect cylinder for wear, scratches, or damage. 1/2” Down From Top of Cylinder X X X Cylinders may be wet or dry honed depending upon the hone manufacturer’s recommendations. Wet honing removes more material faster and leaves a more distinct pattern in the bore. Y NOTE: See next page for more information on honing. Y Inspect cylinder for taper and out of round with a telescoping gauge or a dial bore gauge. Measure in two different directions, front to back and side to side, on three different levels (1/2" down from top, in the middle, and 1/2" up from bottom). 3.26 Selecting a hone which will straighten as well as remove material from the cylinder is very important. Using a common spring loaded finger type glaze breaker for honing is never advised. Polaris recommends using a rigid hone or arbor honing machine which also has the capability of oversizing. Y 1/2” Up From Bottom 4. CAUTION ENGINE Honing to Oversize • Release the hone at regular intervals and inspect the bore to determine if it has been cleared, and to check piston fit. NOTE: Do not allow cylinder to heat up during honing. The thinner areas of the liner around the ports will expand causing uneven bore. CAUTION If cylinder wear or damage is excessive, it will be necessary to oversize the cylinder using a new oversized piston and rings. This may be accomplished by either boring the cylinder and then finish honing to the final bore size, or by rough honing followed by finish honing. 3 Cleaning the Cylinder After Honing P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m CAUTION • After honing has been completed inspect all port opening areas for rough or sharp edges. Apply a slight chamfer to all ports to remove sharp edges or burrs, paying particular attention to the corners of the intake and exhaust ports. For oversize honing always wet hone using honing oil and a coarse roughing stone. Measure the piston (see piston measurement) and rough hone to the size of the piston. Always leave .002 - .003" (.05 - .07 mm) for finish honing. Refer to piston-to-cylinder clearance specifications on Page 3.5 before honing. Complete the sizing with fine grit stones to provide the proper cross-hatch finish and required piston clearance. It is very important that the cylinder be thoroughly cleaned after honing to remove all grit material. Wash the cylinder in a solvent, then in hot, soapy water. Pay close attention to areas where the cylinder sleeve meets the aluminum casting (transfer port area). Use electrical contact cleaner if necessary to clean these areas. Rinse thoroughly, dry with compressed air, and oil the bore immediately with Polaris 2 Cycle Lubricant. Piston-to-Cylinder Clearance 1. Measure piston outside diameter at a point 40 mm down from the top of the piston at a right angle to the direction of the piston pin. Piston 40 mm EXAMPLE OF CROSS HATCH PATTERN Piston Pin A finished cylinder should have a cross-hatch pattern to ensure piston ring seating and to aid in the retention of the fuel/oil mixture during initial break in. Hone cylinder according to hone manufacturer’s instructions, or these guidelines: • Use a motor speed of approximately 300-500 RPM, run the hone in and out of the cylinder rapidly until cutting tension decreases. Remember to keep the hone drive shaft centered (or cylinder centered on arbor) and to bring the stone approximately 1/2" (1.3 cm) beyond the bore at the end of each stroke. 2. Subtract this measurement from the maximum cylinder measurement obtained in Step 5 above.

Digital Wrench™ - Diagnostic Connector (Located under the hood as shown below) 4.3 ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION EFI SERVICE NOTES General Service Information • For more convenient and accurate testing of EFI components, it is recommended dealers utilize the Digital Wrench™ Diagnostic Software (dealer only), or limited testing may be done manually using the procedures provided. • 80% of all EFI problems are caused by wiring harness connections. Follow a common sense approach when diagnosing a potential EFI issue: Disconnect the harness at the suspected sensor connector. Inspect the connector ends for damage or contamination. If damaged, repair; if contaminated, clean. Reconnect and check function. If the problem persists, perform a sensor bench test according to the specific sensor requirements. If the sensor bench tests pass, disconnect the connector at the ECU and perform a continuity check between the sensor connector and the appropriate pin at the ECU connector (all connections for that sensor). Wiring resistance should be less than five (5) ohms. If the resistance is high (or open), a wiring harness inspection is dictated (including a thorough inspection of the ECU connector for contamination or damage). If the sensor passes and the wiring passes inspection, and reconnecting the ECU does not resolve the issue, then at that point a known-good ECU (from another 500 EFI) could be connected and tested for problem resolution. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. • For the purpose of troubleshooting difficult running issues, a known-good ECU from another Polaris RANGER 500 EFI system may be used without damaging system or engine components. • Do not use dielectric grease on sealed connectors (connectors with a rubber grommet), as it may displace the rubber seal and allow contaminants to enter the connector. • Never attempt to service any fuel system component while engine is running or ignition switch is turned to "on". • USE CARE when removing or installing the ECU connector, as well as all other harness connections on the unit. Dirt, even in small quantities, can cause significant problems. Clean connectors thoroughly before opening to prevent dirt from entering. Properly connect and disconnect the ECU harness to minimize damage to the connector pins and locking mechanism. • Do not use compressed air if the EFI system is open. Cover any parts removed and wrap any open joints with plastic if they will remain open for any length of time. New parts should be removed from their protective packaging just prior to installation. • Although every precaution has been taken to prevent water intrusion failure, avoid direct water or spray contact with system components. • Do not disconnect or reconnect the wiring harness connector to the ECU or any individual components with the ignition "on." This can send a damaging voltage spike through the ECU. • Do not allow the battery cables to touch opposing terminals. When connecting battery cables attach the positive (+) cable to positive (+) battery terminal first, followed by negative (-) cable to negative (-) battery terminal. • Never start the engine when the cables are loose or poorly connected to the battery terminals. • Never disconnect battery while engine is running. • Never use a quick-start battery charger to start the engine. • 4.4 Always unplug ECU from the wire harness before performing any welding on the unit.

This system contains the following principal components: The ECU controls the amount of fuel being injected and the ignition timing by monitoring the primary sensor signals for air temperature, manifold absolute pressure, engine temperature, engine speed (RPM), and throttle position (load). These primary signals are compared to the programming in the ECU computer chip, and the ECU adjusts the fuel delivery and ignition timing to match the values. • Fuel Pump • Fuel Rail • Fuel Line(s) • Fuel Filter(s) During certain operating periods such as cold starts, warm up, acceleration, etc., a richer air/fuel ratio is automatically calculated by the ECU. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m • Fuel Injector During operation, the ECU has the ability to re-adjust temporarily; providing compensation for changes in overall engine condition and operating environment, so it will be able to maintain the ideal air/fuel ratio. • Pressure Regulator • Throttle Body / lntake Manifold • Electronic Control Unit (ECU) • Ignition Coil Initial Priming / Starting Procedure • Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT) NOTE: The injection system must be purged of all air prior to the initial start up, and/or any time the system has been disassembled. • Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) • Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) • Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP) • Idle Air Control (IAC) • Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IAT) • Wire Harness Assembly If the EFI system is completely empty of fuel or has been disassembled and repaired: 1. • Check Engine Light (MIL) EFI Operation Overview The EFI system is designed to provide peak engine performance with optimum fuel efficiency and lowest possible emissions. The ignition and injection functions are electronically controlled, monitored and continually corrected during operation to maintain peak performance. The central component of the system is the Visteon Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which manages system operation, determining the best combination of fuel mixture and ignition timing for the current operating conditions. 2. 3. Cycle the key switch from “OFF” to “ON” 6 times, waiting for approximately 3 seconds at “ON” and 5 seconds at “OFF” in sequence to allow the fuel pump to cycle and shut down. Once step 1 is completed, turn the key switch to “START” until the engine starts or 5 seconds has passed. If the engine failed to start, repeat step 1 for 2 more cycles and attempt to start the engine. If the engine fails to start, a problem may still exist, and should be diagnosed. NOTE: Accurate testing of EFI components is recommended utilizing the Digital Wrench™ Diagnostic Software (dealer only). An in-tank electric fuel pump is used to move fuel from the tank through the fuel line and in-line fuel filter. The in-tank fuel pressure regulator maintains a system operating pressure of 39 psi and returns any excess fuel to the tank. At the engine, fuel is fed through the fuel rail and into the injector, which injects into the intake port. The ECU controls the amount of fuel by varying the length of time that the injectors are "on." This can range from 1.5-8.0 milliseconds depending on fuel requirements. The controlled injection of the fuel occurs every other crankshaft revolution, or once for each 4-stroke cycle. The total amount of fuel needed for one firing of a cylinder is injected during each cycle. When the intake valve opens, the fuel/air mixture is drawn into the combustion chamber, ignited and burned. 4.9 4 ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION FUEL LINES ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) Quick Connect Removal / Installation Operation Overview CAUTION Verify fuel system has been depressurized before performing this procedure. The ECU compares the input signals to the programmed maps in its memory and determines the appropriate fuel and spark requirements for the immediate operating conditions. The ECU then sends output signals to set the injector duration and ignition timing. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m RANGER 500 EFI models use quick connect fuel lines. Refer to the steps for fuel line removal / installation: The ECU is the brain or central processing computer of the entire EFI fuel / ignition management system. During operation, sensors continuously gather data which is relayed through the wiring harness to input circuits within the ECU. Signals to the ECU include: ignition (on/off), crankshaft position and speed (RPM), throttle position, engine coolant temperature, air temperature, intake manifold air pressure and battery voltage. 1. Thoroughly clean the connector and place a shop towel around the fuel line to catch any dripping fuel. 2. Squeeze the connector tabs together and slide the green retainer forward. ECU Squeeze Connector Tabs 3. Lift up on the fuel line to remove from the fuel pump outlet. 4. To install the line, verify the connector and fuel pump outlet are clean and free of debris. 5. Place the connector end over the fuel pump outlet and push the green retainer and tabs back into place. 6. Repeat this process to remove the fuel line from the fuel rail. During operation, the ECU continually performs a diagnostic check of itself, each of the sensors, and system performance. If a fault is detected, the ECU turns on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) (Check Engine Light) on the speedometer and stores the fault code in its fault memory. A technician can access the stored fault codes manually using a “blink code” diagnosis flashed out through the instrument cluster or using the Digital Wrench™ Diagnostic Software. The ECU requires a minimum of 7.0 volts to operate. The memory in the ECU is operational the moment the battery cables are connected. Depending on the significance or severity of the fault, normal operation may continue, or a "Fail-Safe" operation may be initiated. In the event a “Fail-Safe” mode occurs, a base fueling table is used to determine the injector pulse width. This strategy will not compensate for engine temperature, intake air temperature, or altitude change, but instead operates based on the latest valid information taken from those sensors. To prevent engine over-speed and possible failure, an RPMlimiting feature is programmed into the ECU. If the maximum RPM limit (7000) is exceeded, the ECU will suppress the ignition signal or injection signal. This process repeats itself in rapid succession, limiting operation to the preset maximum. 4.10 ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION RANGER 500 EFI RPM Limit: ECU Service This EFI system utilizes 2 methods - Never attempt to disassemble the ECU. It is sealed to prevent damage to internal components. Warranty is void if the case is opened or tampered with in any way. “Hard” Limit - Ignition suppression occurs when RPM peaks rapidly: • High: 7000 RPM • Returns: 6900 RPM “Soft” Limit - Injector suppression occurs when RPM reaches peak gradually: The relationship between the ECU and the throttle position sensor (TPS) is very critical to proper system operation. If the TPS is faulty, or the mounting position of the TPS is altered, the TPS must be adjusted. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m • High: 7000 RPM All operating and control functions within the ECU are pre-set. No internal servicing or readjustment may be performed. If a problem is encountered, and you determine the ECU to be faulty, contact the Polaris Service Department for specific handling instructions. Do not replace the ECU without factory authorization. • Returns: 6900 RPM RPM limits may vary slightly under operating conditions. ECU Replacement 1. Remove the lower seat base. 2. With the ignition turned off, disconnect the wire harness by pulling the black slider away from the ECU. Once the slider is fully extended, pull the connector from the ECU, using great care not to damage the harness connector or locking mechanism. 3. Remove the (4) screws retaining the ECU and remove it from the vehicle. For the purpose of troubleshooting, a known-good ECU from another Polaris RANGER 500 EFI may be used without system or engine component damage. NOTE: Should the black slider become broken, replacement parts are available. 4. To install, reverse the procedures, DO NOT apply dielectric grease to the connector, as it is a sealed connector. Install the upper-left retaining screw spacer and screws. Tighten screws to 10 in. lbs. (1.1 Nm). 4.11 4 ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY Operation Disconnect the fuel pump / sending unit connection and measure the resistance between the Purple and Brown wires (see chapter 10 for further details).

Fuel Pump Regulator NOTE: The fuel pump/tank assembly is a nonserviceable assembly and must be replaced if determined to be faulty. If a fuel delivery problem is suspected, make certain the pump is being activated by the ECU and fuel pump relay, all electrical connections are properly secured, the fuses are good, and a minimum of 7.0 volts is being supplied. If during starting, the battery voltage drops below 7.0 volts, a reduction of fuel pressure may occur resulting in a lean starting condition. Internal 60 Micron Strainer (Bottom) CAUTION Fuel is extremely flammable and may cause severe burns, injury, or death. Do not use any device that produces a flame or electrical devices that may spark around fuel or fuel vapors. When the key switch is turned to "ON", the ECU activates the fuel pump, which pressurizes the system for start-up. The ECU switches off the pump preventing the continued delivery of fuel in these instances: • If the key switch is not promptly turned to the "start" position. • If the engine fails to start. 1. Cover the fuel line connection with a shop towel and disconnect the fuel line from the fuel pump. 2. Install the Fuel Pressure Gauge Adaptor (PV-48656) in-line between the fuel pump outlet and fuel line. PV-48656 • If the engine is stopped with the key switch "ON" (as in the case of an accident). In these situations, the “check engine” light will go on, but will turn off after 4 cranking revolutions if system function is OK. Once the engine is running, the fuel pump remains on. Fuel Sender Test If the fuel gauge reading on the instrument cluster is not working, or if the display reading differs in large comparison to the fuel in the tank, perform a resistance test on the fuel sender. 4.12 PU-43506-A ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION 3. 4. Connect the hose from the Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit (PU43506-A) to the test valve on the Fuel Pressure Gauge Adaptor. Route the clear hose into a portable gasoline container or the vehicle’s fuel tank. Fuel Pump / Tank Assembly Replacement Turn on the key switch to activate the pump and check the system pressure on the gauge. If system pressure of 39 psi ± 3 is observed, turn the key switch “off” and depress the valve button on the tester to relieve the system pressure. Always wear safety goggles when working with high pressure or flammable fluids. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or complications. NOTE: The fuel pump cannot be replaced as an individual part. The entire fuel pump and fuel tank must be replaced as an assembly. Refer to your parts book for the proper part number. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Fuel Pump Pressure - 39 psi ± 3 WARNING NOTE: If the pressure is too high or too low, replace the fuel pump / tank assembly. 1. Open hood and disconnect the negative (-) battery cable. 2. Remove the lower seat base. 5. 3. Disconnect the fuel line and electrical harness from the fuel pump. If the pump did not activate (Step 4), disconnect the plug from the fuel pump. Connect a DC voltmeter across terminals “A” and “C” in the plug on the vehicle harness side. Turn on the key switch and observe voltage to ensure a minimum of 7 volts is present. Harness NOTE: If the voltage was below 7 VDC, test battery, ignition switch, fuel pump relay and wiring harness. 6. If the reading is between 7 and 14 volts, turn key switch off and connect an ohmmeter between the terminals “A” and “C”' in the plug on the pump harness to check for continuity within the fuel pump. NOTE: If there was no continuity between the pump terminals, replace the fuel pump / tank assembly. 7. If voltage at the plug was within the specified range, and there was continuity across the pump terminals, reconnect the plug to the pump, making sure you have clean connections. Turn on the key switch and listen for the pump to activate. NOTE: If the pump starts, verify you have the correct amount of fuel pressure. 8. Fuel Line Vent Hose NOTE: A small amount of fuel may come out of the fuel line or tank. Plug the fuel line and tank inlet or use a shop towel during removal. 4. Remove the fuel tank vent hose. 5. Remove the right rear fender/rocker panel assembly and the fuel cap. Reinstall the fuel cap after the fender/rocker panel has been removed. If the pump still does not operate, check ECU operation by plugging in a known-good ECU of the same model.

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR General Information 7. Remove the (2) screws retaining the rear engine air intake baffle box and allow the box to hang down out of the way. The fuel pressure regulator maintains the required operating system pressure of 39 psi ± 3 psi. A rubber-fiber diaphragm divides the regulator into two separate sections: the fuel chamber and the pressure regulating chamber. The pressure regulating spring presses against the valve holder (part of the diaphragm), pressing the valve against the valve seat. The combination of atmospheric pressure and regulating spring tension equals the desired operating pressure. Any time the fuel pressure against the bottom of the diaphragm exceeds the desired (top) pressure, the valve opens, relieving the excess pressure, returning the excess fuel back to the tank. Fuel Pressure Regulator Test Refer to the “FUEL PUMP TEST” procedure. Fuel Pressure Regulator Replacement The regulator is a sealed, non-serviceable assembly. If it is faulty, the pump/tank assembly must be replaced. Refer to the Fuel Pump / Tank Assembly Replacement procedure. 8. Carefully remove the fuel tank out the RH side of the frame. NOTE: Properly drain fuel into a suitable container. 4.14 ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION FUEL INJECTOR Fuel Injector Service General Information Injector problems typically fall into three general categorieselectrical, dirty/clogged, or leakage. An electrical problem usually causes the injector to stop functioning. The fuel injector mounts into the intake manifold, and the fuel rail attaches at the top end. O-rings on both ends ofWKHLQMHFWRU prevent external fuel leakage and also insulate itIURPKHDW and vibration. If an injector is not operating, it can indicate either a bad injector, or a wiring/electrical connection problem. Check as follows: P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Fuel Injector NOTE: Do not apply voltage directly to the fuel injector(s). Excessive voltage will burn out the injector(s). Do not ground the injector with the ignition “on”. lnjector will open/turn on if relay is energized. Injector leakage is very unlikely, but in rare instances it can be internal (past the tip of the valve needle), or external (weeping around the injector body). The loss of system pressure from the leakage can cause hot restart problems and longer cranking times. When the key switch is on, the fuel rail is pressurized. During engine operation, the ECU completes the ground circuit, and the ECU relay energizes the injector. The valve needle in the injector is opened electromagnetically, and the pressure in the fuel rail forces fuel down through the inside. The “director plate” at the tip of the injector contains a series of calibrated openings which directs the fuel into the intake port in a cone-shaped spray pattern. The injector is opened and closed once every other crankshaft revolution. The total amount of fuel needed for one firing is injected during each opening. The amount of fuel injected is controlled by the ECU and determined by the length of time the valve needle is held open, also referred to as the “injection duration” or “pulse width”. It may vary in length from 1.5-8 milliseconds depending on the speed and load requirements of the engine. Injector problems due to dirt or clogging are unlikely due to the design of the injectors, the high fuel pressure, the use of filters and the detergent additives in the gasoline. However, symptoms that could be caused by dirty/clogged injectors include rough idle, hesitation/stumble during acceleration, or triggering of fault codes related to fuel delivery. Injector clogging is usually caused by a buildup of deposits on the director plate, restricting the flow of fuel, resulting in a poor spray pattern. Some contributing factors to injector clogging include; dirty air filters, higher than normal operating temperatures, short operating intervals and dirty, incorrect, or poor quality fuel. Cleaning of clogged injectors is not recommended; they should be replaced. Additives and higher grades of fuel can be used as a preventative measure if clogging has been a problem. Fuel Injector Test If an injector is not operating, it can indicate either a bad injector, or a wiring/electrical connection problem. Check as follows: • Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity by placing the test leads on each pin of the injector. • Resistance specification is 12 Ω ± 0.4 Ω (20°C, 68°F) 4.15 4 ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION CRANK POSITION SENSOR (CPS) Fuel Injector Replacement Engine must be cool. 2. Thoroughly clean the area around and including the throttle body/manifold and the injector. 3. Disconnect the fuel injector harness. 4. Place a catch-container below the fuel line fitting at the fuel rail and remove the fuel line. 5. Remove the fuel rail mounting screws, doubler plate and carefully loosen / pull the rail away from the injector. 6. Reverse the procedures to install the new injector and reassemble. Lubricate the upper O-ring lightly with soapy water to aid installation. The lower seal should remain dry. Torque the fuel rail mounting screws to 5~7 ft. lbs. (6-9 Nm). Install the doubler plate and torque to 8~9.5 ft. lbs. (11-13 Nm). General Information The engine speed sensor is essential to engine operation, constantly monitoring the rotational speed (RPM) of the crankshaft. Interrupt P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 1. O-Ring Grommet Injector Injector Seal CPS A ferromagnetic 36-1 ring gear is cast onto the flywheel. The inductive crankshaft sensor is mounted 0.4 - 1.2 mm (0.015 .047 in.) away from this ring gear. During rotation, an AC pulse is created within the sensor for each passing tooth. The tooth gap creates an “interrupt” input signal, corresponding to specific crankshaft position for PTO cylinder. This signal serves as a reference for the control of ignition timing by the ECU. Within one (1) revolution at start-up, the ECU calculates crankshaft position from the time interval between the consecutive pulses. Synchronization of the CPS, ECU and MAP sensor takes place during the first two (2) revolutions each time the engine is started. Once the engine is started, the ECU monitors the MAP sensor for the engine intake stroke. The CPS must be properly connected at all times. If the sensor fails or becomes disconnected for any reason, the engine will quit operating. CPS Test The crankshaft position sensor is a sealed, non-serviceable assembly. If fault code diagnosis indicates a problem within this area, test and correct as follows: 4.16 1. Disconnect main harness connector from ECU. 2. Connect an ohmmeter between the pin terminals. A resistance value of 185 Ω ± 20% at room temperature (20° C, 68° F) should be obtained. If resistance is correct, check the mounting, air gap, toothed ring gear (damage, runout, etc.), and flywheel key. 3. Disconnect crankshaft sensor connector from wiring harness. Test resistance between the terminals. A reading of 185 Ω ± 20% at room temperature (20° C, 68° F) should again be obtained. ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION NOTE: If resistance reading is incorrect, replace the sensor. If resistance in step 2 was incorrect, but resistance of the sensor alone was correct, test the main harness circuit between the sensor connector terminals and the corresponding pin terminals in the main connector. Correct any observed problem, reconnect the sensor, and perform step 2 again. CPS Replacement Remove the (2) screws retaining the rear engine air intake baffle box and allow the box to hang down out of the way to gain access to the flywheel housing. General Information Mounted on the throttle body intake, the manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP) measures air passing and provides the ECU with the manifold pressure during engine operation. This allows the ECU to adjust fueling according to actual engine load as well as identify which stroke is the intake stroke. The MAP sensor also provides the ECU with the ability to compensate for high altitude operation without any recalibration. During initial start-up, the ECU is in a “waste spark - waste fuel” mode until the MAP sensor sends a negative pressure reading, indicating that the engine is on the intake stroke. Once this has been ‘learned’, the ECU will then monitor the MAP sensor and cease the initial start-up program. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 1. MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR (MAP) 2.

Remove the flywheel (refer to procedure in Chapter 3). 5. Remove the screws securing the CPS and stator and replace them as a set, routing harness wires through the top of the case housing as was previously installed. 6. Reinstall the flywheel and torque nut to specification (see Chapter 3). Set the air gap of the new sensor to 0.015 0.047 in. (0.4 - 1.2 mm). Torque the retaining screws to 26-34 in. lbs. (2.9 - 3.92 Nm) and verify the air gap. MAP Sensor Test The MAP sensor is a non-serviceable item. If faulty, it must be replaced. This sensor requires a 5 Vdc input to operate, therefore the MAP sensor should only be tested using the Digital Wrench™ Diagnostic Software (dealer only). MAP Sensor Replacement 0.4 - 1.2 mm (.015 - .047 in) 1. Disconnect sensor from engine harness. 2. Using a suitable tool, remove the retaining screw and replace the sensor, using a light coating of soapy water on the grommet to aid installation. NOTE: Replacement MAP sensors may have an O-ring installed that must be removed prior to installing the grommet. 7. Reinstall the flywheel cover and reassemble the vehicle. 3. Install the sensor by inserting it with a twisting motion to properly seat the grommet. Verify the connector center line is aligned with the throttle body centering. 4. Install the retaining bracket. NOTE: Do not allow the retaining bracket to contact the MAP body. Torque the retaining screw to 29 in. lbs. (3.3 Nm). 4.17 4 ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (IAT) IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) General Information The Idle Air Control (IAC) is used to stabilize the idle quality of the engine at cold start-up and after warm-up operations. The intake air temperature sensor (IAT) is used to indicate intake air temperatures to the ECU. Mounted on the throttle body, the IAC contains 1 stepper motor which receives varying voltage signal pulses from the ECU. These pulses determine the IAC plunger setting, thereby controlling the amount of air bypassing the closed throttle body for idle control. If the IAC is disconnected or inoperative, it will remain at it’s last operated position. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Mounted in the air box boot, the IAT sends a varying voltage signal to the ECU in direct correlation to the ambient air temperature. This signal is processed by the ECU and compared to the internal pre-programmed maps to determine the required fuel and ignition settings for the amount of engine load. General Information Intake Air Temperature Sensor Test The IAT sensor is a non-serviceable item. If it is faulty, it must be replaced. It can be tested using the following method: • With the test leads connected and the meter set to the ohms scale, observe the reading at room temperature (20°C, 68°F). IAC Test The IAC is a non-serviceable item. If it is faulty, it must be replaced. It can be ‘bench tested’ using the following method: With the test leads connected and the meter set to the ohms scale, observe the reading at the following pin locations of the IAC: IAC Sensor Connector • The reading should be: 2.45±0.24Ω (New) 2.45±0.36Ω (Used) • If the sensor does not read correctly, replace it. 4 5 6 1 2 3 Intake Air Temperature Sensor Replacement 1.

ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) TPS Tester Kit General Information The throttle position sensor (TPS) reading can be checked by using the TPS Tester Kit (2201519). The throttle position sensor (TPS), mounted to the throttle body, is used to indicate throttle plate angle to the ECU. TPS Tester P/N - 2201519 P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Mounted on the throttle body and operated directly off the end of the throttle shaft, the TPS works like a rheostat, varying the voltage signal to the ECU in direct correlation to the angle of the throttle plate. This signal is processed by the ECU and compared to the internal pre-programmed “maps” to determine the required fuel and ignition settings for the amount of engine load. Set-up the TPS Tester Kit (2201519), according to the instructions that accompanied the tester. Make sure the 9 volt battery is new. The correct position of the throttle body stop screw is established and set at the factory. DO NOT loosen the throttle body stop screw or alter its position in any manner. The stop screw controls the air flow calibration of the throttle body. If the stop screw is repositioned or adjusted, the throttle body assembly must be replaced. 4 Use a New 9V Battery TPS Resistance Tests The throttle position sensor (TPS) is a non-serviceable item. If it is faulty, it must be replaced. It can be tested using the following method: Using an Ohm Meter: With the test leads connected and the meter set to the ohms scale, observe the reading at the following pin locations of the TPS: TPS Connector 1 2 3 TPS Resistance Readings Pins Throttle Position Resistance d-GND ----- ∞ c-d Closed 3kΩ - 4kΩ (reference) c-d Open 720Ω - 820Ω (reference) c-e ----- 4kΩ − 6kΩ 4.19 ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION Verify TPS Tester Reference Voltage Checking TPS Reading A 5 volt reference voltage signal from the TPS Tester harness is required for the TPS test to be accurate. Refer to the instructions provided with the TPS Tester Kit (2201519) or follow the bullet point steps below to check reference voltage. 1. Remove the lower seat base and disconnect the vehicle harness from the TPS. Reference Voltage Test: • Insert black voltmeter probe into the “Bk” test port. • Connect the red voltmeter probe into the “R” test port and verify the voltage is 4.99-5.01 Vdc. If this reading is low, verify the 9 volt battery is good or try a new 9 volt battery. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Disconnect 2. Assemble the TPS Tester according to the instructions. Refer to “TPS Tester Kit” for proper set-up and testing. Verify the 9 volt tester battery is new. 3. Plug the TPS Tester harness into the TPS. 4. Set your voltmeter to read Vdc. Connect the red voltmeter probe into the “R” test port and the black voltmeter probe into the “Y” test port (see Figure 4-21). 5. Move the throttle open and closed slowly while reading the display. The voltage should increase and decrease smoothly without any “jumps” when the throttle is applied. 6. If voltage varies with throttle movement, continue on to the next step. If the sensor did not function correctly, replace it. 7. Allow the throttle lever to rest in the idle position. The voltmeter should read 1.12 ± .02 volts. 2201519 Tester Black Probe TPS Reference Voltage 5 Vdc Input Should Read 1.12 ± .02 Vdc Red Pink 1.12 IMPORTANT: Always use a fresh 9 Volt battery.

Refer to “TPS Adjustment” for setting the TPS voltage. 4.21 ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION ENGINE TEMPERATURE SENSOR IGNITION COIL General Information Operation Overview Mounted on the cylinder, the engine temperature sensor measures coolant temperature. The engine temperature sensor is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) type sensor, as the temperature increases the resistance decreases. The ignition coil is used to provide high voltage to fire the spark plug. When the ignition key is on, DC voltage is present in primary side of the ignition coil windings. During engine rotation, an AC pulse is created within the crankshaft position sensor for each passing tooth on the flywheel. The two-tooth gap creates an “interrupt” input signal, corresponding to specific crankshaft position. This signal serves as a reference for the control of ignition timing. The ECU then calculates the time interval between the consecutive pulses, and determines when to trigger the voltage spike that induces the voltage from the primary to the secondary coil windings to fire the spark plug. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Coolant passes through the cylinder and by the sensor probe, varying a resistance reading which is relayed to the ECU. This signal is processed by the ECU and compared to its programming for determining the fuel and ignition requirements during operation. The ECU also uses this signal to determine when to activate the fan during operation. If for any reason the engine temperature sensor circuit is interrupted, the fan will default to “ON”. Ignition Coil Oil Tank ECT Sensor Ignition Coil Tests Engine Temperature Sensor Test Polaris dealers can test the sensor by using the Digital Wrench™ Diagnostic Software (dealer only).

The side panels, front and rear fender cabs are plastic polyethylene material. Therefore, they must be “flame treated” prior to installing a decal to ensure good adhesion. A bonus of the flame treating procedure is it can be used to reduce or eliminate the whitish stress marks that are sometimes left after a fender or cab is bent, flexed, or damaged. To flame treat the decal area: 1. Pass the flame of a propane torch back and forth quickly over the area where the decal is to be applied until the surface appears slightly glossy. This should occur after just a few seconds of flame treating. Do not hold the torch too close to the surface (2-3 inches from the flame tip is recommended). Keep the torch moving to prevent damage. 2. Apply the decal on one edge first. Slowly lay down remainder of the decal while rubbing lightly over the decal surface to eliminate any air bubbles during the application. Shock Replacement 1. Using a spring compressor, compress the shock spring far enough to remove the spring retainer. Shock Spring Compressor Tool 2870623 2.

Because of the critical nature and precision balance incorporated into the PVT components, it is absolutely essential that no disassembly or repair be made without factory authorized special tools and service procedures. 3) The Drive Belt SPECIAL SUPPLIES PART NUMBER Loctite™ 680 N/A RTV Silicone Sealer 8560054 TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS PVT System Fastener Torques The internal components of the drive clutch and driven clutch control engagement (initial vehicle movement), clutch upshift and backshift. During the development, the PVT system is matched first to the engine power curve; then to average riding conditions and the vehicle’s intended usage. Therefore, modifications or variations of components at random are never recommended. Proper clutch setup and careful inspection of existing components must be the primary objective when troubleshooting and tuning. ITEM TORQUE VALUE ft. lbs.

(16 Nm) PVT Outer Cover Bolts 45-50 in.lbs (5-5.6 Nm) Drive Clutch Spider 200 ft. lbs. (271 Nm) Drive Clutch Cover Plate 90 in. lbs. (10 Nm) Drive clutches primarily sense engine RPM. The two major components which control its shifting function are the shift weights and the coil spring. Whenever engine RPM is increased, centrifugal force is created, causing the shift weights to push against rollers on the moveable sheave, which is held open by coil spring preload. When this force becomes higher than the preload in the spring, the outer sheave moves inward and contacts the drive belt. This motion pinches the drive belt between the spinning sheaves and causes it to rotate, which in turn rotates the driven clutch. At lower RPM, the drive belt rotates low in the drive clutch sheaves. As engine RPM increases, centrifugal force causes the drive belt to be forced upward on drive clutch sheaves. 6.2 CLUTCHING Driven Clutch Operation Maintenance / Inspection Driven clutches primarily sense torque, opening and closing according to the forces applied to it from the drive belt and the transmission input shaft. If the torque resistance at the transmission input shaft is greater than the load from the drive belt, the drive belt is kept at the outer diameter of the driven clutch sheaves. Under normal use the PVT system will provide years of trouble free operation. Periodic inspection and maintenance is required to keep the system operating at peak performance. The following list of items should be inspected and maintained to ensure maximum performance and service life of PVT components. Refer to the troubleshooting checklist at the end of this chapter for more information. 1. Belt Tension, Drive to Driven Clutch Alignment/Offset, and Belt Inspection. 2. Drive and Driven Clutch Buttons and Bushings, Drive Clutch Shift Weights and Pins, Drive Clutch Spider Rollers and Roller Pins, Drive and Driven Clutch Springs. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m As engine RPM and horsepower increase, the load from the drive belt increases, resulting in the belt rotating up toward the outer diameter of the drive clutch sheaves and downward into the sheaves of the driven clutch. This action, which increases the driven clutch speed, is called upshifting. Should the throttle setting remain the same, and the vehicle is subjected to a heavier load, the drive belt rotates back up toward the outer diameter of the driven clutch and downward into the sheaves of the drive clutch. This action, which decreases the driven clutch speed, is called backshifting. In situations where loads vary (such as uphill and downhill), and throttle settings are constant, the drive and driven clutches are continually shifting to maintain optimum engine RPM. At full throttle a perfectly matched PVT system should hold engine RPM at the peak of the power curve. This RPM should be maintained during clutch upshift and backshift. In this respect, the PVT system is similar to a power governor. Rather than vary throttle position, as a conventional governor does, the PVT system changes engine load requirements by either upshifting or backshifting. 3. Sheave Faces. Clean and inspect for wear. 4. PVT System Sealing. Refer to appropriate illustrations on the following pages. The PVT system is air cooled by fins on the drive clutch stationary sheave. The fins create a low pressure area in the crankcase casting, drawing air into the system through an intake duct. The opening for this intake duct is located at a high point on the vehicle (location varies by model). The intake duct draws fresh 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 is being used for cooling the PVT system and also to prevent water and other contaminants from entering the PVT area. This is especially critical on units subjected to frequent water forging. PVT Break-In (Drive Belt / Clutches) A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. Break in the clutches and drive belt by operating at slower speeds during the 10 hour break-in period as recommended (see Chapter 3 “Engine Break-In Period” for break-in example). Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period. 6.3 6 CLUTCHING Overheating / Diagnosis During routine maintenance, or whenever PVT system overheating is evident, it’s important to check the inlet and outlet ducting for obstructions. Obstructions to air flow through the ducts will significantly increase PVT system operating temperatures. The vehicle should be operated in Low when plowing or pulling heavy loads, or if extended low speed operation is anticipated.

Belt slippage from water or snow ingestion into the PVT system. Shift the transmission to neutral. Using the throttle, vary the engine rpm from idle to full throttle. Repeat several times as required. During this procedure, the throttle should not be held at the full position for more than 10 seconds. Clutch seals should be inspected for damage if repeated leaking occurs. Clutch malfunction. For inspection of clutch components, please contact your Polaris dealer. Shift transmission to Low during loading of the vehicle to prevent belt burning. Poor engine performance. Fouled plugs, foreign material in gas tank, fuel lines, or carburetor. Contact you dealer for further service information. GENERAL RANGE OPERATION GUIDELINES: Low: Heavy pulling, basic operational speeds less than 7 MPH, riding through rough terrain (swamps, mountains, ect.), low ground speeds. High: High ground speeds, speeds above 7 MPH. Operating in Low Gear Low gear is the primary driving gear range for RANGERs. Low should be used in ALL driving applications except for driving on hard packed level surfaces with light loads. In this circumstance, High range may be used. IMPORTANT: Using High range for heavy loads, hilly terrain, or in wet, muddy conditions will increase the chance of drive belt burning. 6.4 CLUTCHING PVT SYSTEM SERVICE PVT Sealing, Guard, and Ducting Components SEALING AND DUCTING COMPONENTS Clutch Outlet Duct Inner Cover P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Clamps Inner Cover Seal Retainer Outer Cover Seal Cover Bolts 6 PVT Outer Cover Disassembly Some fasteners and procedures will vary.

Mark the drive belt direction of rotation so that it can be installed in the same direction. Inspect belt for hour glassing (extreme circular wear in at least one spot and on both sides of the belt). Hour glassing occurs when the drive train does not move and the drive clutch engages the belt. 2. Inspect belt for loose cords, missing cogs, cracks, abrasions, thin spots, or excessive wear. Compare belt measurements with a new drive belt. Replace if necessary. 3. Belts with thin spots, burn marks, etc., should be replaced to eliminate noise, vibration, or erratic PVT operation. See the Troubleshooting Chart at the end of this chapter for possible causes. NOTE: Belt is normally positioned so that part numbers are easily read. To remove drive belt, put transmission in gear, apply brake, pull upward and rearward on belt to open driven clutch sheaves. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 3. Belt Installation 4. 1. Loop belt over the drive clutch and over top of the driven sheave. 2. While pushing down on top of belt, turn the back or moveable driven sheave clockwise. 3. The belt then should be able to be pushed down into and between the sheaves. Pull out and down on the drive belt to slip over the driven clutch outer sheave. NOTE: Be sure to position the drive belt so part number is easily read. PVT Break-In (Drive Belt / Clutches) 5. Slip belt over the drive clutch outer sheave and remove the belt from the vehicle. 6.8 A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. Break in the clutches and drive belt by operating at slower speeds during the 10 hour break-in period as recommended (see Chapter 3 “Engine Break-In Period” for break-in example). Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.

The springs, which have a higher rate when the clutch is in neutral, will increase clutch engagement RPM. 2. To control the rate at which the drive belt moves upward in the drive clutch sheaves. This is referred to as drive clutch upshift. Red/White 7043349 Red/Blue 7043372 P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 1. There are other components which control upshift, but the spring is one of the primary components in insuring optimum performance. It is very important that the spring is of the correct design and is in good condition. Red/Green 7043382 CAUTION Never shim a drive clutch spring to increase its compression rate. This may result in complete stacking of the coils and subsequent clutch cover failure. The drive clutch spring is one of the most critical components of the PVT system. It is also one of the easiest to service. Due to the severe relaxation the spring is subject to during operation, it should always be inspected for tolerance limits during any clutch operation diagnosis or repair. With the spring resting on a flat surface, measure its free length from the outer coil surfaces as shown. Refer to the spring specification chart for specific free length measurements and tolerances. Also check to see that spring coils are parallel to one another. Distortion of the spring indicates stress fatigue, requiring replacement.

Once the AWD is enabled, it remains enabled until the switch is turned off. Rollers Ring Gear Engage the AWD switch before getting into conditions where the front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to AWD. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m CAUTION Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning may cause severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch to AWD while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest. With the AWD switch off, the vehicle drives through the rear wheels only (2 wheel drive). When the AWD is enabled, the front drive acts as an on-demand AWD system. This means, the front drive will engage once the rear wheels have lost traction, and will remain engaged until the torque requirement goes away (i.e. rear wheels regain traction). Roll Cage Ring Gear Output Hubs Armature Plate Roll Cage CAUTION If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before turning the AWD switch on. If AWD is engaged while the wheels are spinning, severe drive shaft and clutch damage could result. AWD Disengagement: Once the rear wheels regain traction, the front wheels will return to the “over-running” condition. The vehicle is now back to rear wheel drive until the next loss of rear wheel traction occurs. 7 Magnetic Coil AWD Engagement: When the AWD switch is activated, the AWD coil is powered by a 12 Vdc input which creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts an armature plate that is keyed to the roll cage. When the ring gear and roll cage are spinning (vehicle is moving), the energized coil and armature plate will apply drag to the roll cage that indexes the rollers inside the ring gear to an engagement position. While in the engagement position, the front drive will be in an “overrunning” condition (not engaged), until the rear wheels lose traction. Once the rear wheels begin to lose traction, the front drive will engage by coupling the output hubs to the ring gear via the rollers. The front drive will remain engaged until the torque requirement goes away (i.e. rear wheels regain traction). 7.11 FINAL DRIVE AWD Diagnosis 5. Symptom: AWD Will Not Engage 1. Check the gearcase coil resistance. To test the coil resistance, measure between the Grey and Brown/White wires. The measurement should be within specification. Check to make sure the coil is seated in the U-shaped insert that is pressed into the gearcase cover. The top of the coil should be seated below the U-shaped insert. The U-shaped insert controls the pole gap. If the top of the coil is above the surface of the U-shaped insert it raises the armature plate, thereby increasing pole gap. If the pole gap increases, the coil will not be strong enough to engage the AWD system. If this is found, replace the cover plate assembly. Gearcase Cover Plate Asm. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Coil U-shaped insert Side cutaway view of Centralized Hilliard cover Front Gearcase Coil Resistance: 21.6 - 26.4 Ohms 6. 2. Turn the ignition switch and AWD switch on and place gear selector in High or Low gear. Check for minimum battery voltage at the Gray and Brown/White chassis wires that power the coil. A minimum of 11 Vdc should be present. 3. If electrical tests are within specification, remove gearcase (see “Gearcase Removal”) and inspect components. 4. Inspect the armature plate for a consistent wear pattern. There should be two distinct wear bands (one band inside the other). If only one band of wear is present (or if there is wear between the two bands), inspect the coil area as indicated in Step 5. A wear band with an interrupted wear mark may indicate a warped plate, which may cause intermittent operation. Inspect the rollers for nicks and scratches. The rollers must slide up, down, in and out freely within the roll cage sliding surfaces and H-springs. Roll Cage Assembly Rollers Armature Plate 7. Check for Wear Bands 7.12 Inspect the roll cage assembly for cracks or excessive wear. If damaged, replace the roll cage assembly. FINAL DRIVE Gearcase Removal Disassembly / Inspection 1.

Drive Shaft / CV Joint Handling Tips Care should be exercised during drive shaft removal or when servicing CV joints. Drive shaft components are precision parts. Cleanliness and following these instructions is very important to ensure proper shaft function and a normal service life. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m • The complete drive shaft and joint should be handled by getting hold of the interconnecting shaft to avoid disassembly or potential damage to the drive shaft joints. • Over-angling of joints beyond their capacity could result in boot or joint damage. • Make sure surface-ground areas and splines of shaft are protected during handling to avoid damage. • Do not allow boots to come into contact with sharp edges or hot engine and exhaust components. 3. Clean the grease from the face of the joint. 4. Place the drive shaft in a soft-jawed vise. 5. Using a soft-faced hammer, or brass drift, strike the inner race of the joint to drive the joint off the drive shaft. Be sure to tap evenly around the joint to avoid binding. • The drive shaft is not to be used as a lever arm to position other suspension components. Brass Drift Shown • Never use a hammer or sharp tools to remove or to install boot clamps. • Be sure joints are thoroughly clean and that the proper amount and type of grease is used to refill when joint boots are replaced and when joints are cleaned. Refer to text for grease capacity of CV joints and CV joint boots. Outer CV Joint / Boot Replacement 1. Using a side cutters, cut away and discard the boot clamps. IMPORTANT: Tap on inner race only! 6. Make sure the circlip is on the shaft and not left in the joint. Circlip 7.24 FINAL DRIVE 7. Remove the CV boot from the shaft. CAUTION Complete disassembly of the CV joint is NOT recommended. The internal components are a precision fit and develop their own characteristic wear patterns. Intermixing the internal components could result in looseness, binding, and/or premature failure of the joint. CAUTION The grease provided in the replacement kit is specially formulated for wear resistance and durability. DO NOT use substitutes or mix with other lubricants. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m IMPORTANT: If the grease in the joint is obviously contaminated with water and/or dirt, the joint should be replaced. 13. Grease the joint with the special CV joint grease provided in the boot replacement kit. Fill the cavity behind the balls and the splined hole in the joint’s inner race. Pack the ball tracks and outer face flush with grease. Place any remaining grease into the boot. NOTE: The amount of grease that’s provided is premeasured, so use all the grease. Boot Replacement Grease Requirements: Grease Only Service Kits PN 1350059 - 20g / PN 1350046 - 30g / PN 1350047 - 50g Outer CV Joint Capacity: Front - 74g / Rear - 90g 14. Slide the joint onto the drive shaft splines and align the circlip with the lead-in chamfer on the inner race of the joint. 8.

Locking the rear differential is beneficial in low traction and rough terrain conditions. Unlocking the rear differential makes maneuvering easier and minimizes damage to turf and sensitive terrains. AWD Differential - Lock Differential - Unlock When “Differential-Unlock” is selected on the switch, the rear differential becomes unlocked for tighter turns. An electrical solenoid mounted in the rear gearcase housing actuates the shift yoke. The solenoid plunger extends out to move the shift yoke and slides the clutch gear away from the engagement dogs that are attached to the differential gear assembly. This unlocks the rear differential. When switch position is set to “Unlock”, the solenoid is powered and the plunger extends to disengage the clutch gear and unlock the differential. 7.30 When “Differential-Lock” is selected on the switch, power is removed from the electrical solenoid allowing the solenoid plunger to retract. Spring tension moves the shift yoke back into place and engages the clutch gear into the engagement dogs that are attached to the differential gear assembly, locking the rear differential as a solid rear axle. When switch position is set to “Lock”, power is removed from the solenoid and the plunger retracts to engage the clutch gear and lock the differential. Differential - Lock Clutch Gear Shift Yoke FINAL DRIVE When the clutch gear is unlocked the rear drive shafts are dependent on the differential allowing tighter turns. When it’s locked it becomes a solid rear axle increasing traction. Operation Modes AWD Mode P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Differential Clutch Gear Rear Wheels rotate at same speed.

There are a few things to remember when replacing disc brake pads or performing brake system service to ensure proper system function and maximum pad service life. • Optional pads are available to suit conditions in your area. Select a pad to fit riding style and environment. • Do not over-fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir. • Make sure the brake pedal returns freely and completely. • Adjust stop pin on front caliper after pad service. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m • Check and adjust master cylinder reservoir fluid level after pad service. • Make sure atmospheric vent on reservoir is unobstructed. • Test for brake drag after any brake system service and investigate cause if brake drag is evident. • Make sure caliper moves freely on guide pins (where applicable). • Inspect caliper piston seals for foreign material that could prevent caliper pistons from returning freely. • Perform a brake burnishing procedure after installing new pads to maximize service life. • DO NOT lubricate or clean the brake components with aerosol or petroleum products. Use only approved brake cleaning products. BRAKE NOISE TROUBLESHOOTING Dirt or dust buildup on the brake pads and disc is the most common cause of brake noise (squeal caused by vibration). If cleaning does not reduce the occurrence of brake noise, Permatex™ Disc Brake Quiet (PN 2872113) can be applied to the back of the pads. Follow directions on the package. This will keep pads in contact with caliper piston(s) to reduce the chance of squeaks caused by dirt or dust. Brake Noise Troubleshooting Possible Cause Dirt, dust, or imbedded material on pads or disc Remedy Spray disc and pads with CRC Brakeleen™ or an equivalent non-flammable aerosol brake cleaner. Remove pads and/or disc hub to clean imbedded material from disc or pads. Pad(s) dragging on disc (noise or premature pad wear) because of improper adjustment Master cylinder reservoir overfilled Master cylinder compensating port restricted Master cylinder piston not returning completely Caliper piston(s) not returning Operator error (riding the brake) Adjust pad stop (front calipers) Loose wheel hub or bearings Check wheel and hub for abnormal movement. Brake disc warped or excessively worn Replace disc Brake disc misaligned or loose Inspect and repair as necessary Noise is from other source (axle, hub, disc or wheel) If noise does not change when brake is applied check other sources. Inspect and repair as necessary Wrong pad for conditions Change to a softer or harder pad 9 Set to proper level Clean compensating port Inspect. Repair as necessary Clean piston(s) seal Educate operator 9.3 BRAKES HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION The Polaris brake system consists of the following components or assemblies: brake pedal, master cylinder, hydraulic brake lines, brake calipers, brake pads, and brake discs, which are secured to the drive line. When the foot activated brake lever is applied it applies pressure on the piston within the master cylinder. As the master cylinder piston moves inward it closes a small opening (compensating port) within the cylinder and starts to build pressure within the brake system. As the pressure within the system is increased, the pistons located in the brake calipers move outward and apply pressure to the moveable brake pads. These pads contact the brake discs and move the calipers in their floating bracket, pulling the stationary side pads into the brake discs. The resulting friction reduces brake disc and vehicle speed. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m The friction applied to the brake pads will cause the pads to wear. As these pads wear, the piston within the caliper moves further outward and becomes self adjusting. Fluid from the reservoir fills the additional area 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 and cause the brakes to feel spongy. Too much fluid could cause brakes to drag due to fluid expansion. Located within the master cylinder is the compensating port which is opened and closed by the master cylinder piston assembly. As the temperature within the hydraulic system changes, this port compensates for fluid expansion or contraction. Due to the high temperatures created within the system during heavy braking, it is very important that the master cylinder reservoir have adequate space to allow for fluid expansion. Never overfill the reservoir! Do not fill the reservoir beyond the MAX LEVEL line! When servicing Polaris brake systems use only Polaris DOT 4 Brake Fluid (PN 2872189). WARNING: Once a bottle is opened, use what is necessary and discard the rest in accordance with local laws. Do not store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture. This causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of serious injury.

C Loss of tension in the parking brake cable will cause illumination of the parking brake light and activation of the limiting feature. If this occurs, inspect and adjust parking brake cable tension. If performing this service is difficult due to conditions or location, open the hood and temporarily disconnect the parking brake connector. Reconnect the parking brake connector as soon as it is practical and adjust the parking brake cable to proper tension. 1. Pull back on the parking brake lever (located in the dash). 2. After 3 clicks the “(P)” brake light should illuminate on the instrument cluster and the wheels of the vehicle should not rotate when turning by hand. After 8 full clicks of lever travel, the vehicle should not roll while parked. 3. If the vehicle moves, adjustment is necessary. 4. Adjust the parking brake cable where the cable attaches to the caliper mount bracket located on the rear gearcase. 9.8 Use two open-end wrenches and loosen the outer jam nut (D). Back out the outer jam nut (D) 1 1/2 turns. D Mount Bracket 5. Now hold the outer jam nut (D) and turn in the inner jam nut (C) clockwise, until the jam nut is tight against the bracket. 6.

Follow the steps below as outlined to reduce the chance of damage to electrical components. Do not connect or disconnect the battery cable or ammeter with the engine running. Damage will occur to electrical components. The “break even” point of the charging system is the point at which the alternator overcomes all system loads (lights, etc.) and begins to charge the battery. Depending on battery condition and system load, the break even point may vary slightly. The battery should be fully charged before performing this test. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Connect an ammeter in series with the negative battery cable. Check for current draw with the key off. If the draw is excessive, loads should be disconnected from the system one by one until the draw is eliminated. Check component wiring as well as the component for partial shorts to ground to eliminate the draw. WARNING Current Draw Inspection Key Off 30 Amp Current Draw - Key Off: Maximum of .01 DCA (10 mA) 10.16 Never start the engine with an ammeter connected in series. Damage to the meter or meter fuse will result. Do not run test for extended period of time. Do not run test with high amperage accessories. 1. Connect a tachometer to the engine. 2. Using an inductive amperage metering device, (set to DC amps) connect to the negative battery cable 3. With engine off and the key switch and lights in the “ON” position, the ammeter should read negative amps (battery discharge). Reverse meter lead if a positive reading is indicated. 4. Shift transmission into neutral with the parking brake applied and start the engine. With the engine running at idle, observe meter readings. 5. Increase engine RPM while observing ammeter and tachometer. 6. Note RPM at which the battery starts to charge (ammeter indication is positive). 7. With lights and other electrical loads off, the “break even” point should occur at approximately 1500 RPM or lower. 8. With the engine running, turn the lights on and engage parking brake to keep brake light on. 9. Repeat test, observing ammeter and tachometer. With lights on, charging should occur at or below 2000 RPM. ELECTRICAL Charging System Alternator Tests TEST 2: Resistance Value of Each Stator Leg to Ground Three tests can be performed using a multimeter to determine the condition of the stator (alternator). 1. Measure the resistance value of each of the stator legs to ground: Y1 to Ground, Y2 to Ground, Y3 to Ground. Each test should measure: Open Line (OL) Test Connect Meter Leads To: Ohms Reading Battery Charge Coil Y1, Y2, or Y3 to Ground Open Line (Infinity) P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m NOTE: Any measurement other than Infinity (open) will indicate a failed or shorted stator leg. TEST 3: Measure AC Voltage Output of Each Stator Leg at Charging RPM Y1 Y2 Y3 Perform tests at Stator / Regulator connector 1. Set the selector dial to measure AC Voltage. 2. Start the engine and let it idle. 3. While holding the engine at a specified RPM, separately measure the voltage across each ‘leg’ of the stator by connecting the meter leads to the wires leading from the alternator (Y1 to Y2, Y1 to Y3, Y2 to Y3). 4. Refer to the following table for approximate AC Voltage readings according to RPM. Test each leg at the specified RPM in the table. TEST 1: Resistance Value of Each Stator Leg 1. Measure the resistance value of each of the three stator legs: Y1 to Y2, Y1 to Y3, and Y2 to Y3. Each test should measure: 0.43Ω ± 20% Test Connect Meter Leads To: Ohms Reading Battery Charge Coil Y1 to Y2 0.43Ω ± 20% Battery Charge Coil Y1 to Y3 0.43Ω ± 20% Battery Charge Coil Y2 to Y3 0.43Ω ± 20% NOTE: If there are any significant variations in ohm readings between the three legs it is an indication that one of the three stator legs maybe weak or failed. Example: The alternator current output reading should be approximately 18 VAC at 1300 RPM between each ‘leg’. NOTE: If one or more of the stator leg output AC voltage varies significantly from the specified value, the stator may need to be replaced.

Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes etc. away. Ventilate when charging or using in an enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. WARNING Battery Terminal Block The terminal block is located under the hood next to the battery and fuse box. The terminal block provides easy hookup for accessories. The gases given off by a battery are explosive. Any spark or open flame near a battery can cause an explosion which will spray battery acid on anyone close to it. Should there be contact with battery acid, wash the affected area with large quantities of cool water and seek immediate medical attention. Terminal Block To ensure maximum service life and performance from a new battery, perform the following steps. NOTE: Do not service the battery unless it will be put into regular service within 30 days. After initial service, add only distilled water to the battery. Never add electrolyte after a battery has been in service. NOTE: New Battery: Battery must be fully charged before use or battery life will be significantly reduced 10-30% of the battery’s full potential. =T Terminal Block Nuts: 20-25 in. lbs. (2.3-2.8 Nm) To activate a new battery: 1. Remove all the filling plugs. 2. Remove the sealing tube (red cap) from vent fitting. 3. Place battery on a level surface. Fill battery with electrolyte to upper level marks on the battery case. NOTE: Never activate a battery on the vehicle. Electrolyte spillage can cause damage. 10.20 ELECTRICAL Set battery aside to allow for acid absorption and stabilization for 30 minutes. 5. Add electrolyte to bring the level back to the upper level mark on the battery case. 6. Charge battery for 3 - 5 hours at 1/10 of its amp/hour rating. Examples: 1/10 of 9 amp battery = .9 amp; 1/10 of 14 amp battery = 1.4 amp; 1/10 of 18 amp battery = 1.8 amp (recommended charging rates). 7. Check during initial charging to see if electrolyte level has fallen, and if so, fill with acid to the upper level. After adding, charge for another hour at the same rate. 11. Make sure the battery top is clean and dry. A dirty battery actually discharges across the grime on top of the case. Use a soft brush and a baking soda solution. Make sure plugs are finger tight so cleaning solution doesn’t get into the cells and neutralize the acid. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m 4. NOTE: This is the last time that electrolyte should be added. If the level becomes low after this point, add only distilled water. 8. When charging is complete, install the filling plugs firmly. IMPORTANT: Do not apply excessive pressure. Finger tighten only. Do not over-tighten. 9. Wash off spilled acid with water and baking soda solution, paying particular attention that any acid is washed off the terminals. Dry the battery case. 12. Inspect the battery terminals, screws and cables for breakage, corrosion or loose connections. Clean the terminals and cable ends with a wire brush and coat terminals with Nyogel™. 13. Check the electrolyte level and add distilled water if necessary. Battery Inspection The battery is located under the hood. Battery IMPORTANT: Don’t add acid, use distilled water only! 10. Inspect the battery case for obvious damage such as cracks or leaks. Look for discoloration, warping or raised top, which may indicate the battery has overheated or been overcharged. 14. Check the vent tube. Make sure it’s not kinked, pinched or otherwise obstructed. Battery Removal / Installation See Chapter 2 “Maintenance” for battery service procedures. 10.21 10 ELECTRICAL Conventional Battery Testing Specific Gravity Test Whenever a service complaint is related to either the starting or charging systems, the battery should be checked first. A tool such as a Battery Hydrometer (PN 2870836) can be used to measure electrolyte strength or specific gravity. As the battery goes through the charge/discharge cycle, the electrolyte goes from a heavy (more acidic) state at full charge to a light (more water) state when discharged. The hydrometer can measure state of charge and differences between cells in a multicell battery. Readings of 1.270 or greater should be observed in a fully charged battery. Differences of more than .025 between the lowest and highest cell readings indicate a need to replace the battery. Following are three tests which can easily be made on a battery to determine its condition: OCV Test, Specific Gravity Test and Load Test. OCV - Open Circuit Voltage Test P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Battery voltage should be checked with a digital multimeter. Readings of 12.6 volts or less require further battery testing and charging. See the following chart. Battery Hydrometer (PN 2870836) SPECIFIC GRAVITY State of Charge* NOTE: Lead-acid batteries should be kept at or near a full charge as possible. Electrolyte level should be kept between the low and full marks. If the battery is stored or used in a partially charged condition, or with low electrolyte levels, hard crystal sulfation will form on the plates, reducing the efficiency and service life of the battery. OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE State of Charge YuMicron™ Type 100% Charged 1.275 75% Charged 1.225 50% Charged 1.175 25% Charged 1.135 0% Charged 1.115 or less * At 80° F. NOTE: Subtract .01 from the specific gravity reading at 40° F. YuMicron™ Type 100% Charged 12.70 V 75% Charged 12.50 V 50% Charged 12.20 V 25% Charged 12.0 V 0% Charged 11.9 V or less Load Test A battery may indicate a full charge condition in the OCV test and the specific gravity test, but still may not have the storage capacity necessary to properly function in the electrical system. For this reason, a battery capacity or load test should be conducted whenever poor battery performance is encountered. This is the best test of battery condition under starting load. Use a load testing device that has an adjustable load. Apply a load of three times the ampere-hour rating. At 14 seconds into the test, check battery voltage. A good 12V battery will have at least 10.5 Volts. If the reading is low, charge the battery and retest. 10.22 ELECTRICAL Charging Procedure STARTER SYSTEM 1. Remove the battery to prevent damage from leaking or spilled acid during charging. Troubleshooting 2. Charge the battery with a charging output no larger than 1/ 10 of the battery’s amp/hr rating. Charge as needed to raise the specific gravity to 1.270 or greater. Starter Motor Does Not Run 3. Install battery in vehicle. Coat threads of battery bolt with a corrosion resistant dielectric grease. • Loose or faulty battery cables or corroded connections (see Voltage Drop Tests) • Related wiring loose, disconnected, or corroded • Poor ground connections at battery cable, starter motor or starter solenoid (see Voltage Drop Tests) P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m Dielectric Grease • Battery discharged - Low specific gravity (PN 2871329) 4. Connect battery cables. WARNING • Faulty key switch • Faulty starter solenoid or starter motor • Engine problem - seized or binding (can engine be rotated easily) Starter Motor Turns Over Slowly To avoid the possibility of explosion, connect positive (+) cable first and negative (-) cable last. 5. After connecting the battery cables, install the cover on the battery and attach the hold down strap. 6. Install clear battery vent tube from vehicle to battery vent. WARNING: Vent tube must be free from obstructions and kinks and securely installed. If not, battery gases could accumulate and cause an explosion. Vent should be routed away from frame and body to prevent contact with electrolyte. Avoid skin contact with electrolyte, as severe burns could result. If electrolyte contacts the vehicle frame, corrosion will occur. • Battery discharged - low specific gravity • Excessive circuit resistance - poor connections (see Voltage Drop Test) • Engine problem - seized or binding (can engine be rotated easily) • Faulty or worn brushes in starter motor Starter Motor Turns - Engine Does Not Rotate • Faulty starter drive • Faulty starter drive gears or starter motor gear • Faulty flywheel gear or loose flywheel 7. Route cables so they are tucked away in front and behind battery. Off Season Storage See Chapter 2 “Maintenance” for battery service procedures. 10 10.23 ELECTRICAL Voltage Drop Test 3. Remove brush terminal end of housing while holding other two sections together. The Voltage Drop Test is used to test for bad connections. When performing the test, you are testing the amount of voltage drop through the connection. A poor or corroded connection will appear as a high voltage reading. Voltage shown on the meter when testing connections should not exceed .1 VDC per connection or component. P a 87 rt 7- Sh 99 a r 9- k. 56 co 86 m To perform the test, place the meter on DC volts and place the meter leads across the connection to be tested. Refer to the chart on 10.27 to perform voltage drop tests on the starter system. Voltage should not exceed 0.1 DC volts per connection 4.
