Lubrication
Suspension and Steering
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. A grease gun kit, complete with grease
and adaptors, is available to lubricate all fittings on Polaris snowmo-
biles. See page 125 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
The illustration shows the lubrication points of suspension and steering
components. 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 steering post lower pivot.
• Grease the rear suspension pivot shafts (raise the rear of unit).
