Polaris 600 Indy Cross Country 136 Owner's Manual

To break in the engine, operate at varying speeds and throttle positions for the first 10 hours. Avoid prolonged operation at constant speeds and full throttle.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil and coolant levels every ride, inspecting the drive belt and chaincase every 500 miles, and a comprehensive inspection annually or every 1,000 miles.
Check the battery charge, inspect the spark plugs for wear, ensure fuel is reaching the engine, and verify the kill switch is in the correct position.
Stop the engine immediately to let it cool. Check for coolant leaks and ensure the coolant level is adequate. Inspect the radiator and cooling fan for obstructions.
Maintain the engine by keeping it well-tuned, ensure tires are properly inflated, and avoid aggressive acceleration and high-speed riding.
Use Polaris VES Full Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil for optimal performance and protection. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific oil recommendations.
Adjust the suspension by changing the preload settings on the shocks. Refer to the owner's manual for guidance on specific settings for various terrain types.
Inspect the drive belt for wear, check the exhaust system for leaks, and examine the suspension components for damage. Unusual noises can also be caused by loose bolts or fittings.
Remove the clutch cover, loosen the belt tensioner, slide off the old belt, and fit the new belt while ensuring proper alignment. Tighten the tensioner and replace the cover.
The recommended tire pressure is typically around 8 psi for optimal performance. Always check the owner's manual for the exact specifications for your model.
