Polaris ATV Service Schedule
On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Tom Roland with Cottonwood Motor Sports
and I am here to tell you about doing service on a Polaris Quad and this
is fairly representative of macho, many of them. On a Polaris there is a lot of
things that need to be looked at. The same with all the different kinds of quads.
It depends if severe usage or regular usage what kind of maintenance needs
to be done. But all of the manufacturers have recommended maintenance intervals
that do need to be followed within reason. On a Polaris, they have a break in
service, have a 50 hour service and a 100 hour service. The 100 hour service is
the big one. The break in service is important also because the break in service
catches problems before they become big problems. The break in service basically
covers engine oil and filter, changes the transmission. We look for metal
chips coming out of the transmission. We check all of the controls to makes sure
they are working okay and we also make sure all the general running of the vehicle
and if there is any customer complaints, we take care of those at the same
time. The tires and the brakes have to work properly. The brakes on the Polaris
are different. The front brakes runs all four wheels. The back brake only runs
two of the wheels. As the motor breaks in, the idle will come up a lot of times
and making shifting difficult and those are all items that have to be addressed
right away.
