MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Periodic Maintenance Schedule

NOTE: Maintenance intervals are based upon average operating conditions. Watercraft operated in saltwater require daily corrosion protection and engine flushing, and more frequent maintenance and lubrication.

Fogging kits should be added to all Polaris watercraft. The engine should be fogged if the watercraft will not be used for more than 48 hours.

Maintenance Schedule Key
