MAINTENANCE

Exhaust System

Check the exhaust system for wear or damage at the intervals outlined in

CAUTION! Hot exhaust system parts can cause burns. Allow adequate time for

the exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine

running.

1. Allow the engine and exhaust system to cool completely.

2. Open the hood.

3. Inspect the muffler and pipes for cracks or damage. Check for weak

or missing retaining springs or damper/support grommets.

4. Replace any damaged or missing components.

5. Clean the plastic surfaces next to the muffler with aerosol Carbure-

tor and Throttle Body Cleaner. See page 135 for the part numbers of
POLARIS products.
