MAINTENANCE
Polaris Recommended Maintenance Program
To ensure many trouble-fre e miles of snowmobiling enjoyment, follow
recommended regular maintenance and perform service checks as
outlined in this manual. Record maintenance and service in the
Maintenance Log beginning on page 149.
The recommended maintenance schedule on your snowmobile calls for
service and maintenance inspections at 150 miles (240 km), 500 miles
(800 km) and 1500 miles (2400 km). These inspections should be
performed by a qualified service technician. For continued optimum
performance and component life, continue maintenance checks at 1500
mile (2400 km) intervals.
All necessary replacement parts and labor incurred, with the exception
of authorized warranty repairs, become the responsibility of the
registered owner. If, during the course of the warranty period, part
failures occur as a result of owner neglect in performing recommended
regular maintenance, the cost of repairs are the responsibility of the
owner.
Personal safety is c ritical when attempting to service or make
adjustments to your snowmobile. If you’re not familiar with safe
service or adjustment procedures and the use of t ools, or if you don’t
feel comfortable performing these tasks yourself, contact an authorized
Polaris dealer for service.
NOTE: Polaris does not recommend tipping the snowmobile onto i t’ s
side for service. Any time the snowmobile is tipped onto it’s
left side, always check the oil level and clean the foam oil
breather element. See page 97.
CAUTION
Hot components can cause damage to plastic. Always make
sure the e xhaust system and engine have cooled before tipping
the snowmobile on its side for service or inspection.
Tool Kit
A tool kit is included with each snowmobile for emergency use.
Always keep the tool kit with the snowmobile.
