WINCH GUIDE

Winch Maintenance and Service Safety

WARNING! Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to 
SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings 
in this manual.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or 

kinked winch cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including 
mounting hardware.

2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your 

winch.

3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery 

connections to prevent accidental activation of the winch.

4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including 

the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at 
your authorized POLARIS dealer.

5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other 

winches use a specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.

6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade 

polymer rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. 
Although they may look similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer 
rope not designed for winch use will stretch and store excessive 
energy when winching.

WARNING! Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release 
all of the stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or 
DEATH.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

Noise Emission Control System

Do not modify the engine, intake or exhaust components, as doing so 
may affect compliance with U.S.A. EPA noise control requirements (40 
CFR 205) and local noise level requirements.

Operation on Public Lands in the U.S.A.

Your POLARIS vehicle has a spark arrester that was tested and qualified 
to be in accordance with the USFS standard 5100-1C. Federal law 
requires that this spark arrester be installed and functional when the 
vehicle is operated on public lands.

Operation of off-road vehicles on public lands in the U.S.A. is regulated 
by 43 CFR 420. Violations are subject to monetary penalties. Federal 
regulations can be viewed online at www.gpoaccess.gov/ecfr/.

Crankcase Emission Control System

This engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system. Blow-by gases 
are forced back to the combustion chamber by the intake system. All 
exhaust gases exit through the exhaust system.

Exhaust Emission Control System

Exhaust emissions are controlled by engine design. An electronic fuel 
injection (EFI) system controls fuel delivery. The engine and EFI 
components are set at the factory for optimal performance and are not 
adjustable.

The emissions label is located on the left front frame tube of the vehicle.

Electromagnetic Interference

This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.

This vehicle complies with the EMC requirements of European 
directives 97/24/EC and 2004/108/EC.

Non-ionizing Radiation: This vehicle emits some electromagnetic 
energy. People with active or non-active implantable medical devices 
(such as heart monitoring or controlling devices) should review the 
limitations of their device and the applicable electromagnetic standards 
and directives that apply to this vehicle.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance Chart

Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace or repair the 
emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized 
POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for 
your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts for 
emissions-related service, however equivalent parts can be used. 

It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an 
aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle’s 
emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by 
federal law.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance 
identified in this owner’s manual.

Careful periodic maintenance will help keep your vehicle in the safest, 
most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of 
important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.

Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary.  When 
inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, genuine POLARIS 
parts are available from your POLARIS dealer. Equivalent parts may be 
used for emissions-related service.

Service and adjustments are important for proper vehicle operation. If 
you're not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, a 
qualified dealer can perform these operations.

Vehicles subjected to heavy or severe use patterns must be inspected and 
serviced more frequently.

Severe Use Definition

• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
• Frequent or prolonged operation in dusty environments
• 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. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
