GENERAL INFORMATION
FUEL INFORMATION, USAGE AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Fuel Information / Recommendations

Fuel additives are not recommended. Some fuel


additives may cause poor engine performance.
Ash content must not exceed 0.01% by volume.
Carbon residue content must not exceed 0.35% by
volume. Less than 0.1% is preferred.

CAUTION

Total aromatics content should not exceed 35% by


volume. Less than 30% is preferred.

NEVER use an engine starting aid such as ether.


Engine damage will result.

PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) content


should be below 10% by volume.

NOTE: For the best engine performance, to prevent


engine damage and to comply with EPA/ARB
warranty requirements, use ONLY the recommended
diesel fuels. Use only CLEAN Low Sulfur, Ultra Low
Sulfur #2 or #1 Diesel Fuel containing no more than
5% bio-diesel.
Diesel fuel should comply with the following world-wide
specifications:

Metal content of Na, Mg, Si and Al should be equal


to or lower than 1 mass ppm (test analysis method
JPI-5S-44-95).
Lubricity: Wear mark of WS1.4 should be Max.
0.018 in. (.460 m) at HFRR test.

Bio-Diesel Fuels
NOTE: Never use bio-diesel blended fuel containing
more than 5% bio-diesel in this vehicle.

China

1. The bio-fuels must meet the minimum specifications


for the country in which they are used.

Additional Technical Fuel Requirements


The fuel cetane number should be equal to 45 or
higher.
The sulfur content must not exceed 0.5% by
volume. Less than 0.5% is preferred. Especially in
the U. S. A. and Canada, Low Sulfur (300 to 500
ppm (mg/kg) or Ultra Low Sulfur fuel should be
used.
NEVER mix kerosene, used engine oil or residual
fuels with the diesel fuel.
Water and sediment in the fuel should not exceed
0.05% by volume.
Keep the fuel tank and fuel-handling equipment
clean at all times.
Poor quality fuel can reduce engine performance
and/or cause engine damage.

In Europe and in the United States, as well as some


other countries, non-mineral oil based fuel resources
such as RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester) and SOME
(Soybean Methyl Ester), collectively known as FAME
(Fatty Acid Methyl Esters), are being used as extenders
for mineral oil derived diesel fuels.
YANMAR approves the use of bio-diesel fuels that do not
exceed a blend of 5% (by volume) of FAME with 95% (by
volume) of approved mineral oil derived diesel fuel. Such
bio-diesel fuels are known in the marketplace as B5
diesel fuels.

In Europe, bio-diesel fuels must comply with the


European Standard EN14214
In the United States, bio-diesel fuels must comply
with the American Standard ASTMD-6751.2
2. Bio-fuels should be purchased only from recognized
and authorized diesel fuel suppliers.

Bio-Fuel Precautions
1. Free methanol in FAME may result in corrosion of
aluminum and zinc FIE components.
2. Free water in FAME may result in plugging of fuel
filters and increased bacterial growth.
3. High viscosity at low temperatures may result in fuel
delivery problems, injection pump seizures, and poor
injection nozzle spray atomization.

1.19
9925342 - 2013 - 2014 BRUTUS Service Manual
Copyright 2014

GENERAL INFORMATION
4. FAME may have adverse effects on some
elastomers (seal materials) and may result in fuel
leakage and dilution of the engine lubricating oil.
5. Even bio-diesel fuels that comply with a suitable
standard as delivered, will require additional care
and attention to maintain the quality of the fuel in the
equipment or other fuel tanks. It is important to
maintain a supply of clean, fresh fuel. Regular
flushing of the fuel system, and/or fuel storage
containers, may be necessary.
6. The use of bio-diesel fuels that do not comply with
the standards as agreed to by the diesel engine
manufacturers and the diesel fuel injection
equipment manufacturers, or bio-diesel fuels that
have degraded as per the precautions and concerns
above, may affect the warranty coverage of your
engine.

Engine Warranty
Damages, performance or service concerns determined
to be caused by the use of bio-diesel fuel not meeting the
specifications outlined above are not considered to be
defects in material or factory workmanship and are not
covered under warranty. The same applies to damages
or other concerns induced by not complying with the
recommended operating conditions of YANMAR engines
with bio-diesel fuel.

Cold Weather Operation


Cold weather operation can result in fuel gelling if the
incorrect fuel type is used. Use the fuel blending
guideline table below to prevent this from occurring.

Use of a block heater is recommend if this vehicle is


operated in temperatures in the +15 to +5 F (-9 to -15
C) range. A block heater is required at temperatures
below +5 F (-15 C). Please see your dealer to purchase
a block heater kit.

Bio-diesel fuel blends up to B5 must comply with the


following standards:
EN14214 (European standard) and/or ASTM D6751 (American standard)
All applicable engines may operate with bio-diesel
fuel up to a maximum B5 (5% bio-diesel blend)

MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART

Break-In Period

Periodic Maintenance Overview

The break-in period consists of the first 50 hours of


operation. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive
components will result in more efficient performance and
longer life for these components.

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, use genuine Pure Polaris parts
available from your Polaris dealer.
NOTE: Service and adjustments are critical. If
youre not familiar with safe service and adjustment
procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these
operations.
Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based
upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle
speed of approximately 10 miles per hour. Vehicles
subjected to severe use must be inspected and serviced
more frequently.

Drive vehicle slowly at first while varying the


throttle position. Do not operate at sustained idle.
Pull only light loads.
Perform regular checks on fluid levels and other
areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection
checklist.
Change both the engine oil and filter after initial 50
hours of operation.
Check and adjust alternator V-belt after initial 50
hours of operation.
See Owners Manual for additional break-in
information.

Maintenance Chart Key

Severe Use Definition


Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
Racing or race-style high RPM use
Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
Extended idle

The following symbols denote potential items to be


aware of during maintenance:
= CAUTION: Due to the nature of these
adjustments, it is recommended this service be
performed by an authorized Polaris dealer.
= SEVERE USE ITEM: See information provided
above.

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 or see your dealer.

E = Emission Control System Service (California).


NOTE: Inspection may reveal the need for
replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris
parts.

WARNING
Improperly performing the procedures marked could
result in component failure and lead to serious injury or
death. Have an authorized Polaris dealer perform these
services.

TRAVEL CONTROL (TREADLE)


PEDAL
Description
The travel control (treadle) pedal is used to control the
forward and backward movement of the vehicle. The
farther the pedal is pressed, the faster the travel speed.
The travel direction control system requires regular
inspection. Inspect the travel direction control system to
ensure proper operation. Incorrect adjustment may
cause erratic travel speed conditions.

WARNING
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the
travel control system can result in an accident and lead
to serious injury or death if the travel control pedal or
the engine speed control lever sticks during operation.
Always inspect the travel control pedal for free
movement and return to neutral before starting the
engine and occasionally during operation. Never start
or operate this vehicle if it has a sticking or improperly
operating travel control pedal.

Inspection
1. Position the vehicle on a flat level surface. Position
the gear selector lever in Park and stop the engine.
2. Inspect the travel control pedal (Item 1) for free
movement. Be sure the pedal returns to the neutral
position normally when released.

2.17
9925342 - 2013 - 2014 BRUTUS Service Manual

MAINTENANCE
3. Check the travel control pedal (Item 2) for excessive
freeplay.

4. The correct amount of total free travel on the travel


control pedal is 0.30 in. (7.6 mm).
5. While on flat level ground, with the gear selector
lever in Park, press the travel control pedal to full
forward, the engine speed should be a minimum of
3760 RPM. Repeat with travel control pedal fully in
reverse, the engine speed should be a minimum of
3500 RPM with Type 1 Command Lever and 3600
RPM or greater with Type 2 Command Lever. Refer
to ( Drive Performance Checks Command Lever
Type ) or (Drive Performance Checks Command
Lever Type 2). If the specified RPM is not observed
or if the travel control pedal does not return to neutral
unassisted, reference the Hydrostatic / Treadle
Pedal Adjustments.

MAINTENANCE
Neutral Adjustment
1. Install a tie strap (Item 1) on the hydraulic hose
shown to serve as a pointer on the pump plate.

2. Start the engine, place the AWD / 2WD / TURF


Switch in the TURF mode, the gear selector in HIGH
and engine speed at high idle (3000 RPM). NOTE:
On non HD/HDPTO vehicles, the idle can be
increased by attaching a wire to the engine speed
control lever to manipulate the engine RPM.

4. Slowly rotate the pump plate clockwise until the rear


wheel starts to rotate. Mark the location of the tie
strap on the pump plate (Item 3), using a fine tipped
marker.

5. Slowly rotate the pump plate counterclockwise until


the wheel stops rotating and then starts to rotate in
the opposite direction. Mark the location of the tie
strap on the pump plate (Item 4).

3. Loosen the four pump plate mounting bolts (Item 2).

6. Rotate the pump plate clockwise until the end of the


tie strap rests approximately half way between the
two marks. By centering the pump plate between
clockwise and counterclockwise wheel rotation start
points, the pump is now centered in a neutral
position.
7. The wheels should not be turning.

ENGINE SPEED CONTROL LEVER
(HD / HDPTO MODELS)

FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel System Safety Precautions

Description
The engine speed control lever controls engine RPM.
This is used to set engine RPM separately from the travel
speed when using hydraulic attachments.
The engine speed control lever requires regular
inspection. Inspect the engine speed control system to
ensure proper operation. Incorrect adjustment may
cause erratic engine speed conditions.

Inspection
1. While on flat level ground, with the travel control
pedal in neutral, move the gear select lever to low
and move the engine speed control lever (Item 1) to
high idle. If any vehicle movement is detected, travel
control adjustments must be made (see Hydrostatic
/ Treadle Pedal Adjustments).

WARNING
Diesel fuel is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
Fuel injection components are under high pressure.
Verify system pressure has been relieved before
system disassembly.
NEVER start the engine or let it run in an enclosed
area. Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can
cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time.
Before you operate the engine, check for fuel leaks.
NEVER drain the fuel system when the engine is hot.
Severe burns may result.
When you prime the fuel system, turn the key switch to
the ON position for 10 to 15 seconds to allow the
electric fuel transfer pump to prime the fuel system.
Only use the key switch to start the engine. NEVER
jump-start the engine. Sparks caused by shorting the
battery to the starter motor terminals may cause a fire
or explosion.
NEVER use a shop rag to catch diesel fuel. Vapors
from the rag are flammable and explosive. Wipe up any
fuel spills immediately.
NEVER use diesel fuel as a cleaning agent.

2. While on flat level ground, with the gear selector


lever in Park, move the engine speed control lever
(Item 1) to high idle position. The engine speed
should be a minimum of 3760 RPM. If the specified
RPM is not observed, reference the Engine Speed
Control Cable Adjustment only if NO vehicle
movement was detected during Step 1. If vehicle
movement was detected, reference Hydrostatic /
Treadle Pedal Adjustments.

Always turn off the engine before refueling. Always


refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Do not overfill the tank. The tank is at full capacity when
the fuel reaches the bottom of the filler neck. Leave
room for expansion.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near
the area where refueling is being performed or where
fuel is stored.
If you get fuel in your eyes or if you should swallow fuel,
seek medical attention immediately.
If you spill on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it
off with soap and water and change clothing.

Engine Crankcase Breather Inspection


Proper operation of the crankcase breather system is
required to maintain the emission requirements of the
engine. The EPA / ARB requires that the crankcase
breather system is inspected every 1500 hours.
The Yanmar TNM engine uses a crankcase breather
system that has a spring-backed diaphragm (Item 1) in
the valve cover (Item 2). When the crankcase pressure
reaches a predetermined value, the diaphragm opens a
passage that allows crankcase fumes to be routed to the
intake manifold.

19. Reinstall the dipstick and ensure it seats completely.


NOTE: Make certain the dipstick is inserted all
the way into the dipstick tube to keep the depth
of the dipstick consistent.
20. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
21. Add oil as necessary to bring the oil level within the
SAFE range on dipstick. Do not overfill.

To inspect the diaphragm and spring (Item 3):


1. Remove the bolts retaining the diaphragm cover
(Item 4).
2. Remove the diaphragm cover, spring, diaphragm
plate (Item 5) and diaphragm.
NOTE: Use only the recommended engine oil
(see Engine Oil Recommendations).
22. When finished, reinstall the oil fill cap and oil dipstick.
23. Dispose of used oil and filter properly.

3. Inspect the diaphragm for tears. Inspect the spring


for distortion. Replace components if necessary.
4. Reinstall the diaphragm, diaphragm plate, spring and
diaphragm cover. Tighten the diaphragm bolts.
NOTE: Failure of the diaphragm and / or spring
will cause the loss of pressure control and allow
an excessive amount of crankcase fumes to be
routed to the intake manifold. This could result in
excessive deposits in the intake system, high
engine exhaust smoke levels, excessive engine
oil consumption and / or engine run-on due to
the burning of the engine oil.

Engine Compression Test
NOTE: This engine does NOT have decompression
components. Compression readings will vary in
proportion to cranking speed during the test.

3. Remove the fuel injector (Item 2) from the cylinder to


be measured (see Removing the Fuel Injectors in
Chapter 4).

Compression pressure drop is one of major causes of


increasing blow-by gas or starting failure. The
compression pressure is affected by the following
factors:
Degree of clearance between piston and cylinder
Degree of clearance at intake / exhaust valve seat
Gas leak from nozzle gasket or cylinder head
gasket
The pressure will drop due to increased parts wear.
Pressure drop reduces the durability of the engine.
A pressure drop may also be caused by scratched
cylinder or piston by dust entrance from the dirty air
cleaner element or worn or broken piston ring. Measure
the compression pressure to determine the condition of
the engine.
1. Warm up the engine.
2. Stop the engine. Remove the high-pressure fuel
injection lines (Item 1) as an assembly from the
engine (see Removing the High-Pressure Injection
Lines in Chapter 4).
4. Disconnect the fuel solenoid at the connector (Item
3).

NOTE: Remove and install the high-pressure


fuel injection lines as an assembly whenever
possible. Disassembling the high-pressure fuel
injection lines from the retainers or bending any
of the fuel lines will make it difficult to reinstall
the fuel lines.

MAINTENANCE
5. Crank the engine for a few seconds with the fuel
solenoid disconnected (no injection state) before
installing the compression gauge and adapter, this
will expel any residual fuel from the cylinder.
6. Install one injector gasket at the tip end of the
compression gauge adapter (PU-50529). Install the
compression gauge and the compression gauge
adapter at the cylinder to be measured.

Alternator / Fan / Water Pump Drive Belt


The V-belt will slip if it does not have the proper tension.
This will prevent the alternator from generating sufficient
power. Also, the engine will overheat due to the engine
coolant pump pulley slipping.
NOTE: NEVER get any oil on the belt. Oil on the belt
causes slipping and stretching. Replace the belt if
damaged.
Check and adjust the V-belt tension (deflection) as
follows:
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface, place the
transmission in PARK and stop the engine.
2. Tilt the rear cargo box.
3. Remove the three bolts (Item 1) and belt shield (Item
2) from the vehicle.

Diesel Compression Tester:


PU-50529
7. Crank the engine until the compression gauge
reading is stabilized.
Cylinder Compression
Standard: 470 15 PSI
Limit: 370 15 PSI
8. After performing the compression check, remove the
compression gauge and compression gauge adapter
from the cylinder. Reinstall the fuel injector, highpressure fuel injection lines and reconnect the fuel
solenoid (see Chapter 4 Fuel System).

4. Check the V-belt for cracks, oil or wear. If any of


these conditions exist, replace the V-belt.
NOTE: ALWAYS use the specified V-belt. Using a
non-specified V-belt will cause inadequate
charging and shorten the belt life.

9. Prime the fuel system. Check for leaks. Test the


engine.

COOLING SYSTEM

Coolant Strength / Type

Liquid Cooling System Overview

Test the strength of the coolant using an antifreeze


hydrometer.

NOTE: Use ethylene glycol coolant / anti-freeze


only. Do not mix coolant types.
The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by
the recovery system. The recovery system components
are the recovery bottle, radiator filler neck, radiator
pressure cap and connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the
expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the
radiator past the pressure cap and into the recovery
bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the
contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back from the tank
past the pressure cap and into the radiator.
NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new machines is
normal as the system is purging itself of trapped air.
Observe coolant levels often during the break-in
period.

A 50/50 or 60/40 mixture of antifreeze and distilled


water will provide the optimum cooling, corrosion
protection, and antifreeze protection.
Do not use tap water, straight antifreeze, or
straight water in the system. Tap water contains
minerals and impurities which build up in the
system.
Straight water or antifreeze may cause the system
to freeze, corrode, or overheat.

Overheating of engine could occur if air is not fully


purged from system.
Polaris Premium 60/40 coolant is already premixed and
ready to use. Do not dilute with water.

Recommended Anti-Freeze/Coolant:
Polaris Premium Pre-Mixed Antifreeze
(PN 2871534) (Quart)
(PN 2871323) (Gallon)

MAINTENANCE
Coolant Level Inspection
The recovery bottle (Item 1) and radiator pressure cap
(Item 2) are located under the hood.

4. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, inspect


the coolant level in the radiator.
NOTE: If overheating is evident, allow system to
cool completely and check coolant level in the
radiator and inspect for signs of trapped air in
system.

WARNING
Never remove the pressure cap when the engine is
warm or hot. Escaping steam can cause severe burns.
The engine must be cool before removing the pressure
cap.
5. Remove the pressure cap. Using a funnel, add
coolant to the top of the radiator filler neck.
6. Reinstall the pressure cap.
With the engine at operating temperature, the coolant
level should be between the MAX and MIN marks on
the recovery bottle. If not, perform the following:
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface
2. Remove the hood from the front cab.
3. Check the coolant level in the recovery bottle (Item
1). The coolant level must be maintained between
the MAX and MIN levels indicated on the recovery
bottle

NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will


not allow the recovery system to function
properly.
7. Remove the recovery bottle cap and add coolant
using a funnel.
8. Fill the recovery bottle to the MAX mark with the
recommended pre-mix coolant. You may use a 50/50
or 60/40 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water as
required for freeze protection in your area.

Recommended Anti-Freeze/Coolant:
Polaris Premium Pre-Mixed Antifreeze
(PN 2871534) (Quart)
(PN 2871323) (Gallon)
9. Reinstall the recovery bottle cap.
10. If coolant was required, start engine and check for
leaks. Make sure radiator fins are clean to prevent

MAINTENANCE
STEERING

Tie Rod End / Wheel Hub Inspection

Steering Inspection
Steering system components should be checked
periodically for loose fasteners (Item 1), worn tie rod
ends (Item 2), loose steering shaft U-joints (Item 3), worn
A-arm ball joints and general damage. Also check to
make sure all cotter pins (Item 4) are in place. If cotter
pins are removed, they must be replaced.

To check for play in the tie rod end, grasp the


steering tie rod, pull in all directions feeling for
movement.

Replace any worn or damaged steering components.


While the engine is running, the steering system should
move freely through the entire range of travel without
binding. Check routing of all cables, hoses, and wiring.

Replace any worn steering components. Steering


should move freely through entire range of travel
without binding.
Elevate front end of machine so front wheels are
off the ground. Check for any looseness in front
wheel/hub assembly by grasping the tire firmly at
top and bottom first, and then at front and rear. Try
to move the wheel and hub by pushing inward and
pulling outward.

NOTE: Check front end alignment


steering components are replaced.

whenever

WARNING
Due to the critical nature of the procedures outlined in
this chapter, Polaris recommends steering component
repair and adjustment be performed by an authorized
Polaris MSD certified technician.
If abnormal movement is detected, inspect the hub
and wheel assembly to determine the cause (loose
wheel nuts or loose front hub nut).
Refer to Chapter 11 Final Drive for front hub or
bearing carrier service procedures.

MAINTENANCE
Wheel Toe Alignment Inspection
NOTE: Make sure tire pressures are set the same on
the right and left tires.
1. Place machine on a smooth level surface and set
steering wheel in a straight ahead position. Secure
the steering wheel in this position.

5. Again measure the distance between the marks and


record. Call this measurement B. Subtract
measurement B from measurement A. The
difference between measurements A and B is the
vehicle toe alignment. The recommended vehicle toe
tolerance is 1/8 to 3/16 (3.2 to 4.8 mm) toe out. This
means the front of the tire (A) is 1/8 to 3/16 (3.2 to
4.8 mm) wider than the measurement at the rear (B).

2. Place a chalk mark on the center line of the front tires


approximately 10 (25.4 cm) from the floor or as
close to the hub/axle center line as possible.
Wheel Toe-Out:
(A) - (B) = 1/8" to 3/16" (3.2 to 4.8 mm)

Wheel Toe Adjustment


If toe alignment is incorrect, repeat steps 3-5 of Wheel
Toe Alignment Inspection, but instead measure the
distance between vehicle center and each wheel. This
will tell you which tie rod needs adjusting.

NOTE: It is important the height of both marks


be equally positioned to get an accurate
measurement.
3. Measure the distance between the marks and record
the measurement. Call this measurement A.
4. Rotate the tires 180 by moving the vehicle forward.
Position chalk marks facing rearward, even with the
hub/axle center line.

NOTE: Be sure steering wheel is straight ahead


before determining which tie rod needs adjustment.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
During tie rod adjustment, it is very important that the
following precautions be taken when tightening tie rod
end jam nuts.
If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it will not pivot,
and may break.

SUSPENSION
Suspension Inspection
Compress and release the suspension. Damping should
be smooth throughout the range of travel.
Check all suspension components and mounting
fasteners for wear or damage.
Inspect each shock body for leakage.

To adjust toe alignment:


Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating.
Loosen jam nuts at both end of the tie rod.
Shorten or lengthen the tie rod until alignment is as
required to achieve the proper toe setting as
specified in Wheel Toe Alignment Inspection.
IMPORTANT: When tightening the tie rod end jam
nuts, the rod ends must be held parallel to prevent
rod end damage and premature wear. Damage
may not be immediately apparent if done
incorrectly.
After alignment is complete, torque jam nuts to
specification.

Spring Pre-Load Adjustment


NOTE: DO NOT attempt to adjust the front shock
spring pre-load on BRUTUS HD / HDPTO models.
The factory has pre-set the spring rate for optimal
performance for use with the various attachments
that can be installed on the attachment arm.
The front and rear shock absorber springs are
adjustable. Rotate the adjuster cam either direction to
increase or decrease spring tension. Always adjust both
left and right sides equally.
NOTE: Adjusting all shock cams equally will only
affect ride height as the weight transfer will not be
changed.

Tie Rod Jam Nut:


14 ft-lbs. (19 Nm)

Vehicle loads effect suspension spring pre-load


requirements. Use the recommended Spanner Wrench
to adjust pre-load as necessary to avoid bottoming of the
shocks.
Shock Spanner Wrench:
PV-43507-A

MAINTENANCE
BRAKE SYSTEM

Brake Pad / Disc Inspection

Brake Fluid Inspection

1. Check the brake pads for wear, damage, or


looseness.

Always check the brake pedal travel and inspect the


brake fluid reservoir level before each operation. If the
fluid level is low, add DOT 4 brake fluid only.
Brake fluid should be changed every two years. The fluid
should also be changed anytime the fluid becomes
contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum level,
or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir is
unknown.

2. Inspect the brake pad surface for excessive wear.


3. Pads should be changed when the friction material is
worn to .040 (1 mm).

The brake master cylinder reservoir (Item 1) can be


accessed through the front left wheel well.

4. Check surface condition of the brake discs.


5. Measure the thickness of the front and rear brake
discs.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.


2. Place the gear selector in Park.
3. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level
should be between the MAX and MIN level lines.
4. If the fluid level is lower than the MIN level line, add
brake fluid until it reaches just below the MAX level
line (Item 2).
5. Install the reservoir cap and apply the brake pedal
forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid
leakage around the master cylinder fittings and the
brake caliper fittings.

Brake Hose and Fitting Inspection


Check brake system hoses and fittings for cracks,
deterioration, abrasion, and leaks. Tighten any loose
fittings and replace any worn or damaged parts.

6. The disc (s) should be replaced if thickness is less


than the specified service limit (see Chapter 9 for
specifications).

Cylinder Honing and Boring

Piston and Connecting Rod Installation

If the cylinder walls are scuffed, scored, out-of-round, or


tapered beyond specifications, rebore and hone to
restore cylinders to usable condition. Slight imperfections
can be corrected by honing alone.

NOTE: Proceed slowly. Do not force assemble


unless a pressing operation is required. All parts
must be clean and lubricated when assembled.

Boring

Use new gaskets, seals and O-rings during


assembly. Generously apply clean engine oil to all
internal parts during assembly.

Significant cylinder damage may be corrected by boring


the cylinder to an oversize dimension. See the parts
manual for available oversize pistons and piston rings.
A bored cylinder should always be finished with a
hone to properly prepare the cylinder surface so
the new piston rings will seat properly.
After the cylinder has been bored and honed,
install the appropriate oversize pistons and piston
rings.
Honing
Minor cylinder imperfections may be corrected by using a
rigid cylinder hone. Be sure not to exceed the maximum
cylinder bore specification.

1. If removed, install a new wrist pin bushing using a


press and the appropriate service tool. Be sure to
align the oil holes.
2. Reinstall one snap ring into the piston. Ensure the
snap ring is securely seated in the groove.
NOTE: When correctly assembled, the piston
identification mark (Item 1) stamped on top of the
piston will be on the opposite side of the
connecting rod as the match marks (Item 2)
stamped into the connecting rod and rod cap.
When installed in the cylinder, the embossed
mark (Item 3) cast into the rod will face the
flywheel end of the engine.

Deglazing
A used cylinder that did not require boring or honing,
should always be deglazed with a ball hone before
installing new piston rings. This will properly prepare the
cylinder surface to allow new piston rings to seat
properly.
NOTE: When honing a cylinder, with either a ridged
hone or a ball hone, move the rotating hone up and
down in the cylinder bore to accomplish a 30 - 40
crosshatch pattern. This will provide the ideal
surface for the proper seating of new piston rings.
Do not allow the honing tool to operate in one
position for any length of time. Damage to the
cylinder wall will occur.
Use a 50:50 mixture of diesel fuel and engine
oil as a honing fluid.
Use a 300-grit hone at 300 - 1200 rpm.
When honing is completed, wash the cylinder
block with hot water and soap.
Solvents will not adequately remove honing residue,
resulting in premature piston and ring wear. Always
wash cylinders using hot, soapy water. The cylinder
wall is adequately cleaned when a white rag wiped in
cylinder comes out clean. Rinse with hot water and
dry with compressed air. Apply clean engine oil to all
steel surfaces to prevent rusting.
The actual appearance of match marks will vary
but they will always be in the same locations.

3. Place the connecting rod into the piston. The match
marks on the connecting rod and cap must be on the
opposite side as the piston identification mark on the
top of the piston.
4. Lubricate and install the wrist pin through the piston
and connecting rod.

6. Install the oil ring expander (Item 5). Install the oil
ring (Item 6).
NOTE: The oil ring expander end gap must be
located 180 from the oil ring end gap.

5. Install the second snap ring and ensure it is securely


seated in the groove.
NOTE: If installing new piston rings the end gap
must be checked and adjusted as necessary. Use
a piston ring end gap filing tool to adjust the
piston ring end gap on new piston rings.

Reinstall the top and second piston rings with


the stamped makers mark (Item 4) facing the
top of the piston. The makers mark may vary in
appearance but will always be located on the top
surface of the piston ring adjacent to the piston
ring gap. The oil ring and oil ring expander can
be installed either side up.

7. Install the second compression ring (Item 7). This


ring is identified by its dark color and tapered face
profile.
8. Install the top compression ring (Item 8). This ring is
identified by its silver color and barrel-shaped face
profile.
9. Stagger the piston ring end gaps at 120 apart. Do
not position the top piston ring end gap in line with
the wrist pin.
NOTE: Do not allow the connecting rod to
contact the crankshaft journal during piston
installation. Damage to the crankshaft bearing
journal may result.
Always use a piston ring expander when
installing piston rings. Never attempt to install
piston rings by hand.

10. Lubricate piston, piston rings and cylinder with clean


engine oil or assembly lubricant.

Step 1: 9 ft-lbs (12 Nm)
Step 2: 17-20 ft-lbs (23-28 Nm)
17. Reinstall the remaining pistons in their respective
cylinders.

12. Using a piston ring compressor, compress the piston


rings.
13. Carefully install the piston and rod assembly. Match
marks stamped on the connecting rod and cap are
facing the fuel injection pump side of the cylinder
block, and the piston identification mark is facing the
camshaft side. The mark cast into the connecting rod
will be facing the flywheel end of the engine.
NOTE: The piston and connecting rod must be
installed with the correct orientation. When
installed correctly, the identification mark
stamped into the top of the piston will be on the
same side of the engine as the fuel injection
pump and the embossed mark cast into the
connecting rod beam will face the flywheel end
of the engine.

Crankshaft and Bearings Removal

1. Ensure that oil passages are clear and unobstructed.

1. Remove the flywheel (Item 1) from the crankshaft.

2. Check for discoloration or evidence of cracks. If a


fracture is suspected, use the color check method or
the MAGNAFLUX method to determine if the
cylinder block is fractured.
3. Measure cylinders for roundness, taper, and inspect
for evidence of scoring. Consider honing, re-boring
or replacing the cylinder block if the measurements
are not within specification.

4. Take measurements at three places (a, b, and c),


and in two directions (d and e) in each cylinder.

2. Remove the bolts from the back plate assembly

block. Move the crankshaft in and out to measure
the end play.

Cylinder Roundness
Roundness can be calculated by subtracting the
smaller measured value from the larger measured
value of d or e at each measuring location a, b, and
c.

Method B: Use a feeler gauge to measure the


clearance between the thrust bearing and
crankshaft.

Cylinder Taper
Taper can be calculated by subtracting the minimum
measured value from the maximum measured value
of locations a, b, and c. Calculate along both the d
axis and e axis and use the larger of the two
calculations as the value to compare to the
specifications.

NEVER drain the fuel system when the engine is hot.


Severe burns may result.
When you prime the fuel system, turn the key switch to
the ON position for 10 to 15 seconds to allow the
electric fuel transfer pump to prime the fuel system.
Only use the key switch to start the engine. NEVER
jump-start the engine. Sparks caused by shorting the
battery to the starter motor terminals may cause a fire
or explosion.
NEVER use a shop rag to catch diesel fuel. Vapors
from the rag are flammable and explosive. Wipe up any
fuel spills immediately.
NEVER use diesel fuel as a cleaning agent.

Always turn off the engine before refueling. Always


refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Do not overfill the tank. The tank is at full capacity when
the fuel reaches the bottom of the filler neck. Leave
room for expansion.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near
the area where refueling is being performed or where
fuel is stored.
If you get fuel in your eyes or if you should swallow fuel,
seek medical attention immediately.
If you spill on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it
off with soap and water and change clothing.

4
Principal Components
The fuel system is a complete engine fuel management
design. This system includes the following principal
components:
Fuel Pump
Fuel Filter / Water Separator Assembly
Fuel Injection unit
The fuel system contains both high and low
pressure systems (supply and injection)

Operation Overview
Diesel Service Notes
NEVER attempt to service any fuel system
component while engine is running or ignition
switch is "on".
Cleanliness is essential and must be maintained at
all times when servicing or working on the fuel
system. Dirt, even in small quantities, can cause
significant problems.
Do not use compressed air if the system is open.
Cover any parts removed and wrap any open
joints with plastic if they will remain open for any
length of time. New parts should be removed from
their protective packaging just prior to installation.
Clean any connection before opening to prevent
dirt from entering the system.

The fuel injection system is designed to provide peak


engine performance with optimum fuel efficiency and
lowest possible emissions. The injection functions are
mechanically controlled and governed.
NOTE: The fuel injection unit is not serviceable. It
must be serviced by an authorized FIE repair facility.
An in-line electric fuel pump is used to move fuel from the
tank through the fuel line and in-line fuel filter/water
separator. The fuel pump maintains a system operating
pressure of 1-5 psi. Any excess fuel returns to the tank
via the return line attached to the injection system.
At the engine, fuel is fed to the fuel injection control unit,
which operates the injectors. A precise amount is
injected into the pre-combustion chambers.

Although every precaution has been taken to


prevent water intrusion failures, avoid high
pressure spray contact with system components.
Do not allow the battery cables to touch opposing
terminals. When connecting battery cables attach
the positive (+) cable to positive (+) battery
terminal first, followed by negative (-) cable to
negative (-) battery terminal.

Priming the Fuel System

3. Turn the key switch to START until the engine


starts or 5 seconds has passed.

NOTE: The injection system must be purged of all


air prior to the initial start up, and / or any time the
system has been disassembled.

4. If the engine failed to start, repeat steps one and two.


If the engine fails to start, a fuel supply problem may
exist, and should be diagnosed.

If the fuel system is completely empty or has been


disassembled for repairs, perform the following:
1. Turn the key switch to the ON position for 10-15
seconds.
2. Locate the air bleed screw on top of the fuel filter /
water separator. Slowly open and close the bleed
screw to remove any air trapped in the system.

have the MC fuel injection pump serviced.
NEVER remove or attempt to remove the

The following describes the features of the MC fuel
injection pump, manufactured by Yanmar.

good service practices and maintain cleanliness when


servicing the fuel injection pump.
The Yanmar Fuel Injection Pump is an in-line type pump
which consists of a fuel supply plunger (A) for each
cylinder, a camshaft (B) and a pump housing (C). A
delivery valve (D) connects to a high-pressure fuel line
for each cylinder. The fuel injection pump housing
contains a governor (E).
Fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel injection pump is
delivered by a low-pressure electric fuel feed pump. On a
few special models, a mechanical fuel feed pump is used
instead of an electric pump. The mechanical fuel feed
pump is mounted to the fuel injection pump housing in
place of the cover plate (F).
Fuel to be injected into the cylinders is pressurized by the
up and down motion of each camshaft-driven plunger,
and is then supplied by the high-pressure fuel lines to the
respective fuel injector.
The fuel injector is essentially a spring-loaded valve.
When fuel pressure from the fuel injection pump reaches
a pre-determined level, the pintle (valve) is forced off its
seat and fuel is atomized as it passes between the pintle
and seat. The timing and quantity of the fuel injected into
the cylinder is controlled by the fuel injection pump and
governor assembly.

The fuel injection pump is a very important component of


the engine. It is capable of making very precise fuel
delivery adjustments according to the varied loads
applied to the engine.
All of the fuel injection pump components are very
precisely machined. It is extremely important to follow

FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel Solenoid

FUEL INJECTION LINES

The fuel injection pump is equipped with a fuel solenoid


that controls the fuel flow inside the fuel injection pump.

Removing the High-Pressure Injection Lines

With the starter switch in the OFF position, no current


flows to the fuel solenoid and the solenoid plunger is
extended, holding the fuel injection pump fuel rack in the
closed position and not allowing fuel to flow through the
injection pump and to the engine.

NOTE: Remove and install the high-pressure fuel


injection lines as an assembly whenever possible.
Disassembling the high-pressure fuel injection lines
from the retainers or bending any of the fuel lines
will make it difficult to install the fuel lines.
To prevent rounding the fuel line nuts, always use
a line or flare nut wrench.

When the starter switch is turned to the start position, the


pull coil (36.5-amp draw / white wire) inside the
solenoid is activated and pulls the solenoid plunger into
the solenoid. This releases the fuel injection pump fuel
rack, allowing fuel to flow through the injection pump and
allowing the engine to start and run.
When the starter switch is returned to the ON or RUN
position, the pull coil no longer receives current and the
hold coil (0.5-amp draw / red wire) inside the solenoid is
activated. The hold coil holds the solenoid plunger in
the RUN position, allowing fuel to continue flowing and
the engine to continue running.
To stop the engine, the key switch is turned to the OFF
position. Current no longer flows to the fuel solenoid
hold coil, and the solenoid plunger extends and moves
the injection pump fuel rack to the closed position,
shutting off the fuel flow and stopping the engine.

1. Close any fuel valves in the fuel supply line.


2. Clean the area to keep contaminants from entering
the fuel system.
3. Place a drain pan under the fuel injection pump to
catch any spillage.
4. Loosen the fuel line nuts at the fuel injection pump.
5. Next, loosen the fuel line nuts at the fuel injectors.
Use one wrench to hold the fuel return line nut and
fuel return line from rotating. Use a second wrench to
loosen the fuel line nut. Repeat with the remaining
fuel injectors.

Failure of the fuel solenoid could result in the engine not


starting, the engine stopping suddenly, the engine
continuing to run with the key switch returned to the ON
or RUN position or the engine failing to stop when the
key switch is turned to the OFF position. Use a VOA
multimeter or continuity light to check for a good ground
and 12V at the fuel solenoid in the correct sequence.

6. Finish loosening all the fuel line nuts and remove the
high-pressure fuel lines as an assembly, being
careful not to bend any of the fuel lines. Be sure to
protect the fuel system from contamination by
plugging or covering all open connections.
7. Plug or cap all openings to minimize leakage and
prevent contamination.

6. Remove the flywheel inspection port plug (D) to view


the flywheel markings.

Checking Fuel Injection Timing


NOTE: The following procedure is performed on the
No. 1 cylinder. While checking and adjusting the
timing on only No. 1 cylinder is usually sufficient,
the same procedure can be performed on any or all
cylinders.
Some fuel may drain from the fuel injection pump during
this process. Use an approved container to catch fuel.

WARNING
Use an approved container to catch fuel.
NEVER use a shop rag to catch diesel fuel. Vapors
from the rag are flammable and explosive. Wipe up any
fuel spills immediately.
1. Ensure the fuel injection pump is primed with fuel
(see Priming the Fuel System).

7. Using a wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt, rotate


the crankshaft in a clockwise direction while looking
through the flywheel inspection port. Rotate the
crankshaft until the injection timing marks on the
flywheel are visible for No. 1 cylinder.

2. Clean the area around the fuel injection pump.


NOTE: Clean the area around the fuel injection
pump to prevent any contamination when the
fuel injection pump plunger plug is removed.
The fuel solenoid must be removed to allow fuel
to flow through the fuel injection pump.
3. Remove the two screws (A).

NOTE: The flywheel has a timing grid for each


cylinder. Any grid and its corresponding cylinder
can be used to check the fuel injection timing.
4. Remove the fuel solenoid (B) and O-ring (C).
5. Set the throttle to the HIGH-IDLE position.

The TDC (Top Dead Center) mark can be


identified by the cylinder numbers stamped near
the TDC mark (5) on the flywheel.

8. If you are uncertain as to the timing degree
designation of the timing marks on the flywheel
timing grid, you can determine the timing degree
designation by measuring the timing grid.

9. Highlight the timing reference mark on the flywheel


housing (E) or engine back plate (F). Highlight the
TDC mark (G) on the flywheel.

First measure the distance between two of the


longer marks on the timing grid. (They are 5
apart.) Then measure the distance from the TDC
mark to the first longer mark on the timing grid.
Divide that measurement by the distance between
the two longer marks. The resulting answer will
tell you how many degrees there are between the
TDC mark and the first longer mark.
EXAMPLE: If the distance between the two
longer marks is approximately 2.0 cm and the
distance from the TDC mark is approximately 4.0
cm, the answer is approximately 2. This indicates
there is 10 (2 x 5) between the TDC mark and
the first longer mark on the timing grid. That
means the first longer mark on the timing grid
indicates 10 BTDC, the second longer mark
indicates 15 BTDC and the third timing mark
indicates 20. If the answer is 3, that indicates
there is 15 (3 x 15) between the TDC mark and
the first longer mark and that the first longer
mark indicates 15 BTDC with the second and
third longer marks indicating 20 BTDC and 25
BTDC respectively.

11. Remove all high-pressure fuel injection lines (see
Removing the High-Pressure Injection Lines).
NOTE: As the injection pump injects fuel to a
cylinder only once every two engine revolutions,
it may be necessary to rotate the crankshaft
twice to see fuel being pumped from the timing
tool or delivery valve of the cylinder you are
using to check injection timing.

NOTE: If a timing tool is not available, timing can


be checked by watching the fuel in the delivery
valve itself.
The following references to the direction of
rotation are made facing the cooling pump end of
the engine and are adjusted by turning the
crankshaft.
13. Slowly rotate the crankshaft clockwise using a
wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt until fuel is
pumped from the nozzle of the spill-timing tool or
delivery valve.
14. Slowly rotate the crankshaft clockwise approximately
two more revolutions until the timing grid on the
flywheel (for the cylinder being checked) is at
approximately 30 BTDC.
NOTE: The fuel injection pump injects fuel to a
cylinder only once every two engine revolutions.
15. Flick the nozzle of the timing tool with a finger to
remove bubbles and establish a fuel level of
approximately half the height of the nozzle.
16. Very slowly rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the
fuel level in the nozzle of the spill-timing tool, or in
the delivery valve, just begins to move. Immediately
stop rotating the crankshaft.

17. Check the position of the flywheel target timing mark
(H) on the flywheel grid in relation to the timing
reference mark (J) on the flywheel housing or back
plate. If the two marks are aligned, the fuel injection
timing is correct. If the marks do not align, the fuel
injection timing must be adjusted (see Adjusting
Fuel Injection Timing).

3. The new injection pump will come with a timing grid


sticker. Each line on the timing grid sticker is 1.
Each line on the flywheel grid is also 1.

18. Repeat Steps 13-17 two or three times to verify


timing.
19. Remove the spill-timing tool.
20. Install the fuel solenoid.
21. Install the high-pressure fuel injection lines (see
Installing the High-Pressure Injection Lines).
22. Install the flywheel inspection port plug.
23. Prime the fuel system. Operate the engine and
check for leaks.

Adjusting Fuel Injection Timing


If the timing marks did not align when performing the
Checking Fuel Injection Timing, the following steps
must be performed to properly time the engine.

4. Observe the flywheel grid again and determine how


many degrees you need to advance or retard the
timing.
5. Clean the area of the gear by the pointer on the
timing cover and put the sticker on the drive gear,
aligning the timing mark on the timing cover (C) with
the center of the sticker.

The fuel injection pump of TNM engines is fixed with four


bolts. Adjust the injection timing by rotating the pump
drive gear on the pump flange.
1. Leave the spill-timing tool installed in the fuel
injection pump.
2. Determine if the timing is advanced or retarded by
comparing the position of the target timing mark on
the flywheel grid (A) with the timing mark on the
flywheel housing or back plate (B).

6. Loosen the four bolts (D) fastening the injection


pump drive gear to the flange.
7. If the injection timing was less than the target timing,
the injection timing is retarded and will need to be
advanced.
To advance the injection timing: Rotate the
crankshaft counterclockwise. If the injection timing
was greater than the target timing, the injection
timing is advanced and will need to be retarded.
To retard the injection timing: Rotate the
crankshaft clockwise.

17. Prime the fuel system. Operate the engine and
check for leaks.

When you remove any fuel system component to


perform maintenance (such as changing the fuel filter),
put an approved container under the opening to catch
the fuel.
NEVER use a shop rag to catch diesel fuel. Vapors
from the rag are flammable and explosive. Wipe up any
fuel spills immediately.
NEVER use diesel fuel as a cleaning agent.
Always wear eye protection. The fuel system is under
pressure and fuel could spray out when you remove
any fuel system component.
1. Close any fuel valves in the fuel supply line.
2. Clean the area around the fuel injection pump and
fuel injectors to keep contaminants from entering the
engine or fuel system.
3. Remove the intake manifold / valve cover assembly
(see Removing the Intake Manifold / Valve Cover in
the Engine Chapter).
4. Remove the high-pressure fuel injection lines as an

5. Remove the nut (A). Remove the fuel return line (B)
and copper washer (C) from the fuel injectors (see
Removing the Fuel Return Line).

3. Using the correct adapter, connect a fuel injector to a


nozzle tester. Aim the fuel injector into a suitable
container to catch the fuel spray.

WARNING
NEVER inject fuel toward you. Since the fuel is injected
at high pressure from the nozzle, it may penetrate the
skin, resulting in injury.
NEVER inject fuel toward a fire source. Atomized fuel is
highly flammable and may cause a fire or burn skin.
ALWAYS wear eye protection when servicing the
engine and when using compressed air or highpressure water. Dust, flying debris, compressed air,
pressurized water or steam may injure your eyes.

6. Remove the fuel injectors (D).


7. Remove the injector nozzle gaskets (E) and
protector (F) from the cylinder head.

Testing the Fuel Injectors


NOTE: Never use a steel wire brush to clean fuel
injectors. Damage to the nozzle and other
components is likely to result.
1. Thoroughly clean the fuel injector nozzle using clean
diesel fuel and a brass wire brush.
2. Visually inspect the fuel injectors and nozzle
protectors for deposits or damage. Clean, repair or
replace as necessary.
NOTE: Test the fuel injector using an injection
nozzle tester. Operate the tester following the
information provided by the tester manufacturer.
Use clean, filtered fuel or FIE calibration fluid for
the test.

4. Pump the operating lever of the tester slowly,


observing the pressure reading at the point where
the fuel injector begins spraying fuel (see Test and
Adjustment Specifications at the beginning of this
Chapter for correct pressure readings).
NOTE: Opening pressure of a new fuel injector
will be approximately 72.5 psi (0.5 MPa; 5 bar)
higher than one that has been operated for 5
hours or longer.
5. Pump the operating lever slowly to hold the pressure
steady at a point just below the opening pressure
and hold that pressure for 5 seconds. Observe the
injector to see that it is sealing properly and is not
dripping. If fuel leaks from the return line fitting,
check that the nozzle case nut is tight. Service or
replace the injector if fuel continues to leak from
either the return line fitting or nozzle.
6. Pump the operating lever more rapidly to repeatedly
pop the injector and observe the spray pattern. The
pattern should be a very fine uniform spray. If
dripping or an uneven pattern is seen, service or
replace the injector (see Fuel Injector Test Results).

built up in the cooling system before removing the
radiator cap. The coolant may be hot and could cause
severe injury or burns.
2. Remove the hood to access the radiator pressure
cap and recovery bottle.
3. Remove the pressure cap and top off coolant. Leave
the pressure cap off at this point.
4. Remove recovery bottle fill cap and fill the bottle to
the MAX line. Reinstall the recovery bottle cap.
NOTE: If coolant level is very LOW in the
radiator, or if there are leaks in the system, the
coolant system will not draw coolant from the
recovery bottle.
5. Start the engine and allow it to idle for 5-10 minutes
until the thermostat opens and allows coolant to
travel through the entire system.

7. With engine still idling, top off the radiator with


Polaris Premium Antifreeze. If no air bubbles are
seen at the radiator filler neck and you only get
coolant out of the bleed screw, the system should be
purged of air.
8. Reinstall the radiator pressure cap.

WARNING
Be sure to install the radiator pressure
cap before shutting off the engine.
Coolant may spit out of the radiator.
9. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Top off the
radiator with coolant. If the coolant level drops
indicating that coolant has been pulled into the
system, fill the radiator first then fill the recovery
bottle.
10. Any air remaining in the system should continue to
bleed out through the recovery bottle.
11. Repeat this procedure if you are still having difficulty
bleeding the system.

NOTE: When the thermostat opens the radiator


coolant level will drop significantly.
6. Crack the bleed screw (Item 1) on the thermostat
housing to release any air from the system. Squeeze
coolant lines to help purge the system of air.

HVAC
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Description
In an air conditioning system heat is removed from the
cab by circulating R-134a refrigerant though a closed
system containing five major components. At these five
points in the system the refrigerant goes through
pressure and temperature changes.
The compressor takes in heated, low pressure
refrigerant gas through the suction valve (low pressure
side) and pressurizes the heated refrigerant and forces it
through the discharge valve (high pressure side) on the
condenser. Should the pressure on the high pressure
side become to high, the HPCO (High Pressure Cut-Out)
switch will cycle the compressor clutch off.
Ambient air passing through the condenser removes the
heat from refrigerant resulting in physical state change in
the refrigerant from a gas to a liquid.
The liquid refrigerant moves on to the receiver / drier
where impurities such as moisture and dirt are filtered
out. The receiver / drier also serves as the storage tank
for the liquid refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant (still under
high pressure) flows to the expansion valve.
The expansion valve meters the amount of refrigerant
into the evaporator coil. As the refrigerant passes
through the expansion valve, an extreme pressure and
temperature drop occurs. It becomes a low temperature,
low-pressure liquid and saturated vapor. The low
pressure liquid immediately starts to boil and vaporize as
it enters the evaporator. The warmer air of the machine's
cab is drawn through or blown into the evaporator by the
evaporator blower.
Since the refrigerant is colder than the air, it absorbs the
heat from the air and produces cooled air, which is
pushed into the cab by the blower. The moisture in the air
condenses on the evaporator coil and drips into the drain
pan, which directs the water out of the cab.
The refrigerant cycle is completed when the heated low
pressure gas is again drawn into the compressor. The
compressor cycles on and off to maintain the desired cab
temperature. The Electronic De-icing Thermostat is a
micro controller based module that measures evaporator
coil temperature and cycles the compressor clutch to
maintain a constant evaporator pressure.

or the manifold gage set connectors. Safety glasses or a
transparent face shield are practical safety items and one
or the other is absolutely required.

Safety Equipment

WARNING
In the event of a leak, wear safety goggles. Escaping
refrigerant can cause severe injuries to eyes. In contact
with a flame, R-134a refrigerant gives off a toxic gas.

In servicing A/C and heater systems you will be exposed


to high pressures, temperatures and several chemical
hazards. Moving belts and pulleys are normal shop
hazards.
In addition to exercising caution in your work, WEAR
SAFETY GLASSES OR A FACE SHIELD when you are
using R-134a or a leak detector, adjusting service valves

R-134a inside a canister or in an A/C system is a liquid
under pressure. When it escapes or releases into the air,
ITS TEMPERATURE DROPS TO -5.8 C (21.6 F)
INSTANTLY. If it spills on your skin or in your eyes you
should flood the area with cool water and SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION FAST! It is a good idea to wear
gloves to prevent frost bite if you should get refrigerant
on your hands.

WARNING
HFC R-134a refrigerant can be dangerous if not
properly handled. Liquid R-134a may cause blindness if
it contacts the eyes and may cause serious frostbite if it
contacts the skin.
Gaseous R-134a becomes lethal (phosgene gas) when
it contacts open flame or very hot substances.
NEVER smoke when there is the possibility of even
small amounts of R-134a in the air.
Any servicing work that involves release or addition of
R-134a to the system must be done by a competent
refrigeration dealer who has the proper equipment,
knowledge, and experience to service refrigeration
equipment.

Components

Pressure Relief Valve: The pressure relief valve (Item


4) is located on the receiver drier assembly. This small
brass valve is a safety feature that is designed to open
and release the A/C charge if the pressure reaches 535
psi (3.7 MPa).
Expansion Valve: The expansion valve (Item 5) controls
the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil.

Compressor: The compressor (Item 1) is the pump that


circulates the refrigerant throughout the system. It raises
the pressure of the refrigerant for heat transfer through
the condenser and evaporator.
NOTE:
The A/C system (Compressor) is
recommended to be turned on for at least 5 minutes
weekly throughout the year to lubricate the internal
components.
Condenser: The condenser (Item 2) is the unit that
receives the high pressure, high temperature refrigerant
vapor from the compressor and condenses it into a high
temperature liquid.

Heater / Evaporator Unit: The heater / evaporator unit


(Item 6) is located below the dash on the passenger side.
The unit delivers the cold air for the A/C and warm air for
heat into the cab. The unit contains the heat and A/C
coils, thermostat, and expansion valve.

Heater Coil: The heater coil (Item 7) supplies the warm


air into the cab by passing air through the coil.
Receiver / Drier: The receiver / drier (Item 3) is the unit
that receives the liquid refrigerant from the condenser
and removes moisture and foreign matter from the
system. It also serves as a storage tank for the extra
liquid refrigerant until it is needed by the evaporator.

Evaporator Coil: The evaporator coil (Item 8) cools and


dehumidifies the air before it enters the cab.

Fan Switch: This is a four position rotary switch (Item


12). When the fan switch is in the off position the A/C will
not engage, but the heater valve will operate, as it is
controlled by the ignition power.
A/C Switch: The rocker switch (Item 13) will be
illuminated when the A/C is engaged.
Potentiometer: The potentiometer (Item 14) controls the
Heater Valve from fully Off to fully On. This can be used
in conjunction with the A/C for defrost of the windows and
temperature control.
Heater Valve: The heater valve (Item 15) is used to
control the amount of engine coolant that flows to the
heater coil.

Heater / Evaporator Blower: The blower (Item 11) is


used to pull air through the heater and evaporator coils
and into the cab.

Pressure Switch: The high pressure switch (Item 16)


will disengage the compressor clutch at high pressure
readings over 400 psi. (2.8 MPa) and will engage the

Evaporator
Pressures represent gas temperatures inside the coil, not the coil surface. For an estimate of the temperature of the air
coming off the coil add 8 - 10F (-13 to -12C) to the temperature on the chart.
Condenser
Temperatures are not ambient temperatures but condensing temperatures. Add 4.4 C (40 F) to the ambient
temperature to get the condensing temperature and then refer to the pressure chart to see appropriate pressure for
ambient temperature.
Example: Ambient Temperature = 90F
90F + 40F = 130F condenser temperature / 200 PSIG
Conditions and pressures will vary from system to system.

Poor A/C Performance
1. Start the utility vehicle. Engage the A/C system with
the blower fan on high. Run the vehicle at full rpm for
approximately 15 minutes, with the cab door closed.

3. Check the heater hose (Item 4) for temperature. If


the hose is hot, the heater valve is leaking by, and
needs to be replaced.

2. Check the temperature at the louvers (Item 1) with a


thermometer

4. Push the A/C switch to the OFF position. Turn the


fan switch to position 1. Turn the temperature control
to the High A/C position.
3. The louver temperature should be between 36 - 53F
(2 - 12C) depending on the humidity in the air.
4. If temperature is too high, check the blower fan for
proper operation or noise, and replace if necessary.

Engine Coolant Bypassing the Heater Valve


1. Push the A/C switch (Item 1) to the OFF position.
Turn the fan switch (Item 2) to the High Speed
position. Turn the temperature control (Item 3) to the
High A/C position.

2. Start the utility vehicle and run at high idle, for ten
minutes.

5. Listen for the heater valve (Item 1) as the key is


turned to the ON position without starting the utility
vehicle. The heater valve should rotate.
6. Turn the key to the OFF position. Turn the
temperature control to the High Heater position.
7. Listen for the heater valve (Item 5) as the key is
turned to the ON position without starting the utility
vehicle. The heater valve should rotate. If it does not
rotate, check the potentiometer for proper function.

8. Replace the heater valve.

DECAL REPLACEMENT
WARNING
The following procedure involves the use of an open
flame. Perform this procedure in a well ventilated area,
away from gasoline or other flammable materials. Be
sure the area to be flame treated is clean and free of
gasoline or flammable residue.

WARNING
Do not flame treat components that are installed on the
vehicle. Remove the component from the vehicle
before flame treating.
The vehicle body panels are plastic polyethylene
material. Therefore, they must be flame treated prior to
installing a decal to ensure good adhesion. A bonus of
the flame treating procedure is it can be used to reduce
or eliminate the whitish stress marks that are sometimes
left after a fender or cab is bent, flexed, or damaged.

CAUTION
Do not flame treat painted plastic components. Painted
plastic surfaces should only be wiped clean prior to
decal adhesion.
To flame treat the decal area:
1. Pass the flame of a propane torch back and forth
quickly over the area where the decal is to be applied
until the surface appears slightly glossy. This should
occur after just a few seconds of flame treating. Do
not hold the torch too close to the surface (2-3 inches
from the flame tip is recommended). Keep the torch
moving to prevent damage.
2. Apply the decal on one edge first. Slowly lay down
remainder of the decal while rubbing lightly over the
decal surface to eliminate any air bubbles during the
application.

TRANSMISSION SERVICE

The rear drive shafts are now dependent on the


differential allowing for tighter turns.

Differential Operation
The transmission has two traction operational modes:
Differential Lock and Differential Unlock. Locking the rear
differential is beneficial in low traction and rough terrain
conditions. Unlocking the rear differential makes
maneuvering easier and minimizes damage to terrain.

When Differential-Lock is selected, power is removed


from the electrical solenoid allowing the solenoid plunger
to retract. Spring tension moves the shift fork back into
place and mates the engagement dog to the side gear
that is part of the planetary differential assembly. This
locks the rear differential as a solid rear axle, increasing
traction.

When Differential-Unlock is selected, the rear


differential becomes unlocked for tighter turns. An
electrical solenoid mounted in the rear portion of the
gearcase actuates the shift fork. The solenoid plunger
extends out to move the fork and slides the engagement
dog away from the side gear that is part of the planetary
differential assembly. This unlocks the rear differential.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting Checklist
Check the following items when shifting difficulty is
encountered.
Shift cable adjustment/condition
Vehicle creep (travel control adjustment)
Transmission lubricant type/quality
Loose fasteners on sector gear cover
Worn rod ends, clevis pins, or pivot arm bushings
Shift selector rail travel
Worn, broken or damaged internal transmission
components
NOTE: To determine if shifting difficulty or
problem is caused by an internal transmission
problem,
isolate
the
transmission
by
disconnecting the shift cable end from the
transmission bellcrank. Manually select each
gear range at the transmission bellcrank, and
test ride vehicle. If it functions properly, the
problem is outside the transmission.
If transmission problem remains, disassemble
transmission and inspect all gear dogs for
wear (rounding) or damage. Inspect all
bearings, circlips, thrust washers and shafts
for wear.

INFORMATION
Description

WARNING
Instructions are necessary before operating or servicing
machine. Read and understand the Operation &
Maintenance Manual and decals on the machine.
Follow warnings and instructions in the manuals when
making repairs, adjustments or servicing. Check for
correct function after adjustments, repairs or service.
Failure to follow instructions can cause injury or death.
The hydrostatic system consists of a hydrostatic pump
and hydrostatic drive motor that allows forward and
reverse motion in the vehicle.
The hydrostatic pump is connected to the engine by a
coupler and provides fluid to the hydrostatic drive motor.
The charge pressure system assists in replenishing the
fluid that is lost due to internal leakage in the
components of the hydrostatic system.

Description
Mounted to the transmission input shaft, the hydrostatic
drive motor is powered by the hydrostatic pump. A
shuttle valve located inside the end cap of the hydrostatic
drive motor helps to keep the motor cool by mixing case
drain oil with cooled low pressure oil from the charge
circuit. The shuttle valve is shifted by the high pressure
oil coming from the hydrostatic pumps.

Description
The travel control (treadle) pedal is used to control the
forward and backward movement of the vehicle. The
farther the pedal is pressed, the faster the travel speed.
The travel direction control system requires regular
inspection. Inspect the travel direction control system to
ensure proper operation. Incorrect adjustment may
cause erratic travel speed conditions.

WARNING
Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the
travel control system can result in an accident and lead
to serious injury or death if the travel control pedal or
the engine speed control lever sticks during operation.
Always inspect the travel control pedal for free
movement and return to neutral before starting the
engine and occasionally during operation. Never start
or operate this vehicle if it has a sticking or improperly
operating travel control pedal.

Inspection
1. Position the vehicle on a flat level surface. Position
the gear selector lever in Park and stop the engine.
2. Inspect the travel control pedal (Item 1) for free
movement. Be sure the pedal returns to the neutral
position normally when released.

control pedal is 0.30 in. (7.6mm).
5. While on flat level ground, with the gear selector
lever in Park, press the travel control pedal to full
forward, the engine speed should be a minimum of
3760 RPM. Repeat with travel control pedal fully in
reverse, the engine speed should be a minimum of
3500 RPM with Type 1 Command Lever and 3600
RPM or greater with Type 2 Command Lever. Refer
to ( Drive Performance Checks Command Lever

is functional and adjusted correctly.
1. With transmission in HIGH range on level asphalt
depress the travel control pedal to the full forward
position with a quick fluid motion.
2. The engine RPM at 20 mph (32.2 km/h) should be in
the range of 3500 - 3700 RPM. The vehicle should
accelerate from 0 - 20 mph (32.2 km/h) in less than
8.5 seconds. If engine RPM or acceleration time is
not within specifications proceed to steps 3-6. If the
horsepower management functionality is within
specification, proceed to the REVERSE SPEED
SECONDARY CHECK.
3. To decrease the engine RPM (increased engine pull
down), or if the acceleration time was over 8.5
seconds, hold the travel control cable outside
adjustment nut (Item 3) and loosen the inside
adjustment nut (Item 4).

6. Retest. Repeat steps 2 - 4 until the reverse speed is


within specification.

MAXIMUM TRAVEL SPEED IN LOW RANGE


This check ensures the command (travel control) cable is
set correctly to pull the pump to full stroke.
1. Drive the vehicle in LOW range to a maximum
sustained speed and observe the reading on the
vehicle display. This speed should be at least 13.5
mph (21.7 km/h). The average maximum vehicle
speed in low range will be approximately 14 mph
(22.5 km/h) on most vehicles. If the maximum
sustained speed is below specification proceed with
steps 2 - 5. If the maximum travel speed is within
specification, proceed to the HORSEPOWER
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONALITY CHECK.
2. Hold the command (travel control) cable outside
adjustment nut (Item 3) and loosen the inside
adjustment nut (4).

ENGINE IDLE RPM CHECK


1. Place transmission in PARK.
2. Verify the engine idles at 1500 or lower RPM. Note: If

is functional and adjusted correctly.
1. With transmission in HIGH range on level asphalt
depress the travel control pedal to the full forward
position with a quick fluid motion.
2. The engine RPM at 20 mph (32.2 km/h) should be in
the range of 3500 - 3600 RPM. If the horsepower
management functionality is within specification,
proceed to the REVERSE SPEED SECONDARY
CHECK.
3. To decrease the engine RPM (increased engine pull
down), tighten the command torsion spring bolt (Item
5) in turn increments and retest.
4. To increase the engine RPM (decreased engine pull
down), loosen the command torsion spring bolt (Item
5) in turn increments and retest.

All Wheel Drive Operation
The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the
vehicle is moving, however, AWD will not enable until the
wheel speed drops below 0.2 mph (0.3 km/h). Once the
AWD is enabled, it remains enabled until the switch is
turned off and the wheel speed drops below 15 mph (24
km/h). To prevent wedging, the AWD system will
disengage when the treadle pedal is in the neutral
position (treadle switch circuit open).
Engage the AWD switch before getting into conditions
where the front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear
wheels are spinning, release the treadle pedal before
switching to AWD.

CAUTION
Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning
may cause severe drive shaft and gearcase damage.
Always switch to AWD while the rear wheels have
traction or are at rest.
With the AWD switch off, the vehicle drives through the
rear wheels only (2 wheel drive). When the AWD is
enabled, the front drive acts as an on-demand AWD
system. This means, the front drive will engage once the
rear wheels have lost traction, and will remain engaged
until the torque requirement goes away (i.e. rear wheels
regain traction).

AWD Disengagement: Once the rear wheels regain


traction, the front wheels will return to the over-running
condition. The vehicle is now back to rear wheel drive
until the next loss of rear wheel traction occurs.
Torsion Spring Operation: The torsion spring acts as a
return mechanism to help disengage the coupling of the
output hubs and ring gear by creating an over-running
condition for the rollers upon disengagement.

CAUTION
If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle
before turning the AWD switch on.
If AWD is engaged while the wheels are spinning,
severe drive shaft and front
gearcase damage could result.
AWD Engagement: When the AWD switch is activated,
the AWD coil is powered by a 12 Vdc input which creates
a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts an armature
plate that is keyed to the roll cage. When the ring gear
and roll cage are spinning (vehicle is moving), the
energized coil and armature plate will apply drag to the
roll cage that indexes the rollers inside the ring gear to an
engagement position. While in the engagement position,
the front drive will be in an over-running condition (not
engaged), until the rear wheels lose traction. Once the
rear wheels begin to lose traction, the front drive will
engage by coupling the output hubs to the ring gear via
the rollers. The front drive will remain engaged until the
torque requirement goes away (i. e. rear wheels regain
traction).

AWD Diagnosis
Symptom: AWD Will Not Engage
1. Check the gearcase coil resistance. To test the coil
resistance, measure between Grey and Brown/White
wires. Measurement should be within specification.

Front Gearcase Coil Resistance:


21.6 - 26.4 Ohms
2. Turn the ignition and AWD switches on and place
gear selector in High or Low gear. Check for
minimum battery voltage at the Gray and Brown/
White chassis wires that power the coil. A minimum
of 11 Vdc should be present.
3. If electrical tests are within specification, remove
gearcase (see Gearcase Removal) and inspect
components.

4. Inspect armature plate for a consistent wear pattern.


There should be two distinct wear bands (one band
inside the other). If only one band of wear is present
(or if there is wear between the two bands), inspect
the coil area as indicated in Step 5. A wear band with
an interrupted wear mark may indicate a warped
plate, which may cause intermittent operation.

5. Check to make sure the coil is seated in the Ushaped insert that is pressed into the gearcase
cover. The top of the coil should be seated below the
U-shaped insert. The U-shaped insert controls the
pole gap. If the top of the coil is above the surface of
the U-shaped insert it raises the armature plate,
thereby increasing pole gap. If the pole gap
increases the coil will not be strong enough to
engage the AWD system. If this is found, replace the
cover plate assembly.

6. Inspect the rollers for nicks and scratches. The


rollers must slide up, down, in and out freely within
the roll cage sliding surfaces and H-springs.

DRIVE SHAFT SERVICE

Outer CV Joint / Boot Replacement

Drive Shaft / CV Joint Handling Tips

1. Use a side cutters to cut and discard the boot


clamps.

Care should be exercised during drive shaft removal or


when servicing CV joints. Drive shaft components are
precision parts.
Cleanliness and following these instructions is very
important to ensure proper shaft function and a normal
service life.
The complete drive shaft and joint should be
handled by getting hold of the interconnecting
shaft to avoid disassembly or potential damage to
the drive shaft joints.
Over-angling of joints beyond their capacity could
result in boot or joint damage.
Make sure surface-ground areas and splines of
shaft are protected during handling to avoid
damage.
Do not allow boots to come into contact with sharp
edges or hot engine and exhaust components.
The drive shaft is not to be used as a lever arm to
position other suspension components.

2. Remove the large end of the boot from the CV joint


and slide the boot down the shaft.

Never use a hammer or sharp tools to remove or


to install boot clamps.
Be sure joints are thoroughly clean and that the
proper amount and type of grease is used to refill
when joint boots are replaced and when joints are
cleaned. Refer to text for grease capacity of CV
joints and CV joint boots.

3. Clean the grease from the face of the joint.


4. Place the drive shaft in a soft-jawed vise.

FINAL DRIVE
5. Using a soft-faced hammer, or brass drift, strike inner
race of the joint to drive the joint off the drive shaft.
Be sure to tap evenly around the joint to avoid
binding.

7. Remove the CV boot from the shaft.

CAUTION
Complete disassembly of the CV joint is NOT
recommended. The internal components are precision
fit and develop their own characteristic wear patterns.
Intermixing the internal components could result in
looseness, binding, and/or premature failure of the joint.
NOTE: If the grease in the joint is obviously
contaminated with water and/or dirt, the joint
should be replaced.

NOTE: Tap on inner race only!


6. Make sure circlip is on the shaft and not left in the
joint.

8. Thoroughly clean the joint with an appropriate


solvent and dry the joint to prevent any residual
solvent from being left in the joint upon reassembly.
9. Visually inspect the joint by tilting the inner race to
one side to expose each ball. Severe pitting, galling,
play between the ball and its cage window, any
cracking or damage to the cage, pitting or galling or
chips in raceways call for joint replacement.
NOTE: Shiny areas in ball tracks and on the
cage spheres are normal. Do not replace CV
joints because parts have polished surfaces.
Replace CV joint only if components are cracked,
broken, worn or otherwise unserviceable.
10. Clean the splines on the end of the shaft and apply a
light coat of grease prior to reassembly.
11. Slide the small boot clamp and boot (small end first)

BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE NOTES

BRAKE NOISE TROUBLESHOOTING

Disc brake systems are light weight, low maintenance,


and perform well in the conditions this vehicle will
routinely encounter. There are a few things to remember
when replacing disc brake pads or performing brake
system service to ensure proper system function and
maximum pad service life.

Dirt or dust buildup on the brake pads and disc is the


most common cause of brake noise (squeal caused by
vibration). If cleaning does not reduce the occurrence of
brake noise, Permatex Disc Brake Quiet can be
applied to the back of the pads. Follow directions on the
package. This will keep pads in contact with caliper
piston(s) to reduce the chance of squeaks caused by dirt
or dust.

DO NOT over-fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir.


Make sure the brake pedal returns freely and
completely.

Brake Noise Troubleshooting

Adjust the caliper stop pin after pad service.

Possible Cause

Remedy

Dirt, dust, or imbedded


material on pads or disc

Spray disc and pads with


CRC Brakeleen or an
equivalent non-flammable
aerosol brake cleaner.
Remove pads and/or disc
hub to clean imbedded
material from disc or
pads.

Check and adjust master cylinder reservoir fluid


level after pad service.
Make sure atmospheric vent on reservoir is
unobstructed.
Test for brake drag after any brake system service
and investigate cause if brake drag is evident.
Make sure caliper moves freely on guide pins
(where applicable).
Inspect caliper piston seals for foreign material
that could prevent caliper pistons from returning
freely.
Perform a brake burnishing procedure after
installing new pads to maximize service life.
DO NOT lubricate or clean the brake components
with aerosol or petroleum products. Use only
approved brake cleaning products.

BRAKES
HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION
The Polaris brake system consists of the following components or assemblies: brake pedal, master cylinder, hydraulic
brake lines, brake calipers, brake pads, and brake discs, which are secured to the drive line.
When the foot activated brake lever is applied it applies pressure on the piston within the master cylinder. As the
master cylinder piston moves inward it closes a small opening (compensating port) within the cylinder and starts to
build pressure within the brake system. As the pressure within the system is increased, the pistons located in the brake
calipers move outward and apply pressure to the moveable brake pads. These pads contact the brake discs and move
the calipers in their floating bracket, pulling the stationary side pads into the brake discs. The resulting friction reduces
brake disc and vehicle speed.
The friction applied to the brake pads will cause the pads to wear. As these pads wear, the piston within the caliper
moves further outward and becomes self adjusting. Fluid from the reservoir fills the additional area created when the
caliper piston moves outward.
Brake fluid level is critical to proper system operation. Too little fluid will allow air to enter the system and cause the
brakes to feel spongy. Too much fluid could cause brakes to drag due to fluid expansion.
Located within the master cylinder is the compensating port which is opened and closed by the master cylinder piston
assembly. As the temperature within the hydraulic system changes, this port compensates for fluid expansion or
contraction. Due to the high temperatures created within the system during heavy braking, it is very important that the
master cylinder reservoir have adequate space to allow for fluid expansion. Never overfill the reservoir! Do not fill
the reservoir beyond the MAX LEVEL line!
When servicing Polaris brake systems use only Polaris DOT 4 Brake Fluid (PN 2872189).
WARNING: Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened,
use what is necessary and discard the rest in
accordance with local laws. Do not store or use a
partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is
hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture.
This causes the boiling temperature of the brake
fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and
the possibility of serious injury.

Brake Burnishing Procedure

1. Install new brake pads into the caliper body.

Brake burnishing must be performed after installation of


new brake pads to extend service life and reduce noise.
Start machine and slowly increase speed to 30 mph.
Gradually apply brakes to stop machine. Allow pads and
disc to cool sufficiently during the procedure. Do not
allow pads or disc to become hot or warping may result.
Repeat this procedure 10 times. Do not make more
than 3 stops per 1 mile (1.6 km).

Keep the following notes in mind when diagnosing an


electrical problem:
Refer to wiring diagram for electrical component
resistance specifications.
When measuring resistance of a component that
has a resistance value under 10 Ohms, remember
to subtract meter lead resistance from the reading.
Connect the leads together and record the
resistance. The resistance of the component is
equal to tested value minus the lead resistance.
Become familiar with the operation of your meter.
Be sure leads are in the proper jack for the test
being performed (i. e. 10A jack for current
readings). Refer to the Owners Manual included
with your meter for more information.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL SOLENOID

ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) SYSTEM

Differential Solenoid Overview

AWD / 2WD / TURF Switch

The differential solenoid is located on the rear portion of


the transmission case. The solenoid actuates a shift fork
with an engagement dog, which locks and unlocks the
rear differential. Reference Chapter 9 for more
information.

1. Disconnect the AWD / 2WD / TURF switch harness


by depressing the connector locks and pulling on the
connector. Do not pull on the wiring.
2. Test between the 2 sets of outputs (AWD / TURF). If
any of the tests fail, replace the switch assembly.
Move the switch to AWD. There should be
continuity between switch pins 2 and 3.
Move the switch to 2WD. There should be no
continuity between pins 1 and 2; 2 and 3.
Move the switch to TURF. There should be
continuity between switch pins 1 and 2.
NOTE: Pins 7 and 3 provide power and ground
for the AWD indicator. Pins 1 and 7 provide
power and ground for the Turf indicator.

AWD Coil Overview


When the AWD switch is ON, 12 VDC power is present
at the hub coil and if the criteria is met, the ECU provides
a ground path on brown/white. The AWD icon should
display on the instrument cluster.
AWD Testing

Differential Solenoid Circuit Operation


The Rear Diff Solenoid Relay is attached to the rear
portion of the main frame and can be accessed by tilting
the rear cargo box.
When the switch is pushed to activate TURF, a ground
signal is provided to the ECU from the AWD switch.
Depending on engine speed and gear position criteria,
the ECU energizes the Rear Diff Solenoid Relay allowing
it to enable the differential solenoid.
If the rear diff fails to switch from operational modes:
Check the solenoid and relay connectors. Look for
loose wires or bad connections.
Check for power from the relay connector, to
ensure the solenoid has power to be activated.
Check the AWD
connections.

Coolant Temperature Sensor

Fan Control Circuit Operation / Testing

The Coolant Temperature Sensor is found on the top


right side of the engine by the water pump housing.

Power is supplied to the fan via the Orange/Black wire


when the relay is ON. The ground path for the fan motor
is through the Brown harness wire. Refer to RELAYS
later in this chapter for more information on fan functions.

CAUTION
Keep hands away from fan blades during operation.
Serious personal injury could result.
NOTE: The fan may not function or operation may
be delayed if coolant level is low or if air is trapped in
the cooling system. Be sure cooling system is full
and purged of air.
1. With the engine and temperature sensor
approximately 77F (25C), disconnect the harness.

ELECTRICAL
HVAC Control Circuit Operation / Theory

Blower Switch

Power is supplied to the HVAC system through the 30


amp fuse found in its own fuse holder outside of the main
fuse box under the center console. The condenser fan is
powered by a 20 amp circuit breaker through the
condenser fan relay.

The Blower Switch can be tested using an ohmmeter.

The HVAC relay is powered by the 30 Amp HVAC fuse.


When they key is in the ON position, the HVAC relay is
energized. Power is sent on the Red/Green wires to the
blower switch, the temperature knob (temp pot 10k) and
the water valve. Power only travels from the blower
switch to the AC switch on the white wire when the knob
is in the low, medium or high setting. If the AC switch is
ON, power is sent out on the blue wire to power the
condenser fan relay and the thermostat on the AC
evaporator. The evaporator thermostat will send power
on the white wire to the HPCO (high pressure cut-out)
switch located in the AC hose. The switch is normally
closed. When the switch is closed, power is sent to the
AC compressor. When the pressure in the AC line gets
too high, the switch opens and the compressor cycles
off. The condenser fan will always be running when the
AC system is on and it is powered by a 20 Amp circuit
breaker just outside the relay box.

3. Use the table to determine if the switch needs to be


replaced.

As the temperature knob is moved towards the warm


setting, the voltage through the potentiometer is
interpreted by the water valve to control the flow of warm
water through the heater core to warm the air.

AC Switch
The AC Switch can be tested using an ohmmeter.
1. Disconnect harness from AC Switch.
2. With the meter in the ohms mode, place the leads on
pins P1 and P3.

1. Disconnect the harness going to the Blower Switch.


2. With the meter in the ohms mode, place the meter
leads onto the switch contacts.

Temperature Control
The Temperature Control potentiometer can be tested
using an ohmmeter.
1. Disconnect the harness going to the Temperature
Control potentiometer.
2. With the meter in the ohms mode, place the meter
leads onto the potentiometer flying lead contacts.
3. Use the table to determine if the switch needs to be
replaced.

The BRUTUS alternator is rated 12v, 90A, 1215 watts (at


13.5 V nominal voltage).

CAUTION

Current Draw - Key Off


Do not allow the battery cables to become
disconnected while the engine is running. Follow the
steps below as outlined to reduce the chance of
damage to electrical components.

CAUTION
Do not connect or disconnect the battery cable or
ammeter with the engine running. Damage will occur to
electrical components.
Connect an ammeter in series with the negative battery
cable. Check for current draw with the key off. If the draw
is excessive, loads should be disconnected from the
system one by one until the draw is eliminated. Check
component wiring as well as the component for partial
shorts to ground to eliminate the draw.

The break even point of the charging system is the


point at which the alternator overcomes all system loads
(lights, etc.) and begins to charge the battery. Depending
on battery condition and system load, the break even
point may vary slightly. The battery should be fully
charged before performing this test.

WARNING
Never start the engine with an ammeter connected in
series. Damage to the meter or meter fuse will result.
Do not run test for extended period of time.
Do not run test with high amperage accessories.
1. Using an inductive amperage metering device, (set
to DC amps) connect to the negative battery cable.
2. With engine off, and the key switch and lights in the
ON position, the ammeter should read negative
amps (battery discharge). Reverse meter lead if a
positive reading is indicated.
3. Shift transmission into neutral with the parking brake
applied and start the engine. With the engine running
at idle, observe meter readings.
4. Increase engine RPM while observing ammeter and
tachometer.

Current Draw - Key Off:


Maximum of .01 DCA (10 mA)

5. Note RPM at which the battery starts to charge


(ammeter indication is positive).
6. With lights and other electrical loads off, the break
even point should occur at approximately just above
idle RPM.
7. With the engine running, turn the lights on and
engage brake to keep the brake lights on.
8. Repeat test, observing ammeter and tachometer.
With lights on, break even charging should occur
below 2000 RPM.

Keep out of reach of children.

1. Check battery voltage with a volt/ohm meter. A fully


charged battery should be 12.8 V or higher.
2. If the voltage is below 12.6 V, the battery will need to
be recharged (see Charging Procedure).
To service a Maintenance Free battery:
3. Remove battery from the vehicle (see Chapter 2).
4. Test battery with a voltage meter or load tester to
determine battery condition. This will determine the
length of time required to charge the battery to full
capacity. Refer to OCV table (see OCV - Open
Circuit Voltage Test).
5. Charge the battery as recommended (see Charging
Procedure).

Battery Removal / Installation


See Chapter 2 Maintenance for battery removal and
installation procedures.

Battery Off Season Storage


Whenever vehicle is not used for a period of three
months or more, remove the battery from the vehicle,
ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the sun in
a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month
during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full
charge.
NOTE: Battery charge can be maintained by using a
Polaris battery tender charger or by charging once a
month to make up for normal self-discharge. Battery
tenders can be left connected during the storage
period, and will automatically charge the battery if
the voltage drops below a pre-determined point.

checked first.
The following are two tests which can easily be made on
a sealed Maintenance Free battery to determine its
condition: OCV Test and a Load Test.

ELECTRICAL
OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) Test

Load Test

Battery voltage should be checked with a digital


multitester. Readings of 12.6 volts or less require further
battery testing and charging. See the following chart and
Load Test.

A battery may indicate a full charge condition in the OCV


test, but still may not have the storage capacity
necessary to properly function in the electrical system.
For this reason, a battery capacity or load test should be
conducted whenever poor battery performance is
encountered.

NOTE: Maintenance Free batteries should be kept at


a high state of charge during storage. If the battery is
stored or used at a low state of charge, hard crystal
sulfation will form on the plates, reducing the
efficiency and service life of the battery.
Use a volt/ohm meter to test battery voltage.

Battery PN 4014132

To perform this test, use a load testing device that has an


adjustable load. Apply a load of three times the amperehour rating. At 14 seconds into the test, check battery
voltage. A good 12V battery will have at least 10.5 volts.
If the reading is low, charge the battery and retest.

Conductance describes the ability of a battery to conduct


current. A conductance tester functions by sending a low
frequency AC signal through the battery and a portion of
the current response is captured, from this output a
conductance measurement is calculated. Conductance
testing is more accurate than voltage, specific gravity, or
load testing.
Authorized Polaris dealers/distributors are required to
use the conductance analyzer when testing 12V Polaris
batteries.

Voltage Drop Test


The Voltage Drop Test is used to test for bad
connections. When performing the test, you are testing
the amount of voltage drop through the connection. A
poor or corroded connection will appear as a high
voltage reading. Voltage shown on the meter when
testing connections should not exceed 0.1 VDC per
connection or component.
To perform the test, place the meter on DC volts and
place the meter leads across the connection to be tested.
Refer to the voltage drop tests in the Starter System
Testing Flow Chart.
Voltage should not exceed
.1 DC volts per connection

Battery Charging Procedure

Battery Terminal Block

If battery voltage is 12.6 Vdc or less, the battery may


need recharging. When using an automatic charger, refer
to the charger manufacturers instructions for recharging.

A terminal block located under the hood (Item 1)


provides easy hookup for accessories. On the non-PTO
models, you will need to run a positive and negative wire
from the rear terminal block to the front terminal block in
order to make the front terminal block functional. The
rear terminal block (Item 2) can be found under the seat
next to the battery.

Recommended Charging Rate: 1 hour @ 6-10 Amps.


Do not exceed 10 amps when charging the battery.
NOTE: Charge the battery using an automatic
charger that will not exceed 14.6 Vdc. An automatic
charger will signal when charging is complete.
Allow the battery to stand disconnected for at least
1-2 hours after being properly charged. If the voltage
drops below 12.6 volts, charging was ineffective or
the battery needs to be replaced.

ELECTRICAL
Brush Holder Insulation Test
Check for continuity between each brush holder and the
base using a multimeter. There should not be continuity
present. If there is continuity, replace the brush holder.

4. Torque upper starter mounting bolt and nut to


specification.

Upper Starter Mounting Bolt and Nut:


7 ft-lbs (10 Nm)
5. Install the starter motor battery cable to the starter
solenoid stud. Torque nut to specification.

Pinion Clutch Assembly Inspection


Manually rotate the pinion clutch assembly. It should
rotate freely in the drive direction and should lock by
turning it in the opposite direction. Replace the pinion
clutch assembly if the results are different.
Slide the pinion clutch assembly on the pinion shaft. It
should slide smoothly on the shaft. Rust, too much
grease or damage could prevent the pinion clutch from
sliding smoothly. If the pinion clutch assembly does not
slide smoothly, clean the shaft and pinion clutch
assembly or replace the damaged component causing
the binding.

Starter B+ Cable Nut


54 in-lbs (6 Nm)

Starter Motor Installation


1. Install the starter motor onto the flywheel housing.

6. Reconnect the battery.

2. Hand tighten the upper starter motor bolt and nut.

Starter Solenoid Operation

3. Install the lower mounting bolt and torque to


specification.

To energize the Starter Solenoid the following must


occur:
The unit in Park or Neutral gear selection OR the
treadle pedal must be in the neutral position.

Upper Starter Mounting Bolt and Nut:


40 ft-lb (53 Nm)
Lower Starter Mounting Bolt:
32 ft-lb (45 Nm)

The key switch must be turned to the start


position to provide 12V power to the starter
solenoid via the Green / White wire.
Once the pull-in coil is energized, the solenoid
provides a current path for 12V power to reach the
starter motor.

NOTE: Tighten the lower starter bolt first, as the


bottom hole acts as a pilot hole to properly align
the starter drive with the flywheel. This helps
prevent binding and starter damage.

Engine Controller Reprogramming (Reflash)
Process Overview
The reprogramming feature is in the Special Tests menu
on the Digital Wrench screen. Start Digital Wrench
and click on the Special Tests menu icon (red tool box). A
technician should be familiar with the process and with
computer operation in general before attempting to
reprogram an ECU.
The Digital Wrench Engine Controller Reprogramming
(or Reflash) feature allows reprogramming of the ECU.
To successfully reprogram the ECU, an Authorization
Key must be obtained by entering a Request Code in the
box provided on the Reflash Authorization site. The
Request Code is automatically generated by Digital
Wrench during the reprogramming process. The
Reflash Authorization site is located under the Service
and Warranty drop down menu on the dealer website
at: www.polarisdealers.com.

COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS: If you have had


problems communicating with a vehicle while
performing diagnostic functions, do not attempt
reprogramming until the cause has been identified
and fixed. Check all connections, and be sure
battery voltage is as specified.
Proceed to http://polaris. diagsys. com for specific
information and FAQs on how to troubleshoot
communication problems.

15

NOTE: Replacement ECUs require a reflash for


them to work.
Reprogramming (Reflash) Tips:
BATTERY VOLTAGE: The majority of problems
with reprogramming can be attributed to a low
battery. Be sure the battery voltage (no load) is at
least 12.8 volts and at least 12.5 volts with the key
ON. Connect a battery charger if necessary to
bring voltage level above minimum. Fully charge
the battery before you attempt to reprogram.
DEDICATED LAPTOP: Best results are obtained
using a laptop computer that is dedicated to
Digital Wrench. A laptop that is used by a variety
of people and in several applications around the
dealership is more likely to cause a
reprogramming problem than one dedicated to
Digital Wrench diagnostics only.
OBTAINING
THE
LATEST
UPDATE:
Reprogramming updates are provided periodically
and contain the most recent calibrations (see
Digital Wrench Updates).
CLOSE NON-ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS: Polaris
recommends that you DO NOT install nonessential programs on a Service Department
laptop. Camera detection software, Virus
Scanners, Tool Bars, etc. may clog up memory if
running in the background and make it harder for
the diagnostic software to operate.

DONT DISTURB THE PC: While reprogramming


is in progress, dont move the mouse and dont
touch the keyboard. The process only takes a few
minutes, and is best left alone until complete.
Reprogramming (Reflash) Procedure:
If you are not familiar with the reprogramming process,
review the Reprogramming (Reflash) Tips before you
begin. Follow the on-screen instructions as you progress
through the steps. If you encounter a problem, always
check the On-Line help for current tips and information.
1. Verify the most current update has been downloaded
and loaded into Digital Wrench.
2. Connect SmartLink Module cables to PC and
vehicle.
3. Open the Digital Wrench program.

KNOW THE PROCESS: If you are not familiar with


the entire reprogramming process, review the
HELP section of the diagnostic software before
you attempt reprogramming. Click on the ? on the
tool bar or press F11. The information in the online help is the most current and complete
information available. This should be your first step
until you are familiar with the process.
