Lubrication

Front Suspension

Lubricate the suspension and steering components with Polaris Pre-

mium All-Season Grease at 500 miles (800 km) and annually or every

1000 miles (1600 km) thereafter. See page 109 for the part numbers of

Polaris products.

The illustration shows the location of suspension and steering compo-

nents. A + indicates a grease point or fitting.
• Grease the left and right spindles. Raise the front end of the machine

to permit better grease entry into the spindle area.

• Lubricate both of the front ski pivots at the fittings as shown.
• Grease the jackshaft and driveshaft clutch side bearings.
• Use an aerosol lubricant on the steering post support bracket.
• Grease the center steering arms.

A grease gun kit, complete with grease and adaptors, is available to

lubricate all fittings on Polaris snowmobiles. See page 109.
