Maintenance
Slider Replacement
Polaris rail slides have a wear limit
indicator groove to indicate the
minimum permissible slide thick-
ness. Replace the rail slides if they
are worn to the top of the groove at
any point along their length. Fail-
ure to do so may result in perma-
nent damage to the track or rails.
Track Lubrication
Track failure, loss of vehicle control and braking ability can result from
extended use of this vehicle on surfaces providing marginal lubrication
between the slider and track guide clips. Examples of marginal lubrica-
tion would include lakes without snow cover, icy trails and no-snow
conditions.
The slide rail is designed to operate in conditions with adequate snow
cover in order to provide sufficient lubrication. Excessive wear indicates
insufficient lubrication. A new slider can cause faster heat build up in
limited lubrication than a used slider, resulting in excessive wear.
NOTE: Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor lubrication
conditions may void the track warranty.
Steering System
The steering systems on Polaris snowmobiles can be adjusted with ski
toe alignment. Improper toe alignment can cause erratic steering. See
your dealer for adjustments.
WARNING
Improper alignment or adjustment may cause loss of steering control, result-
ing in serious injury or death. Do not attempt to change the ski alignment. See
your Polaris dealer.
