MAINTENANCE

Extended Storage

Off-season or extended storage of your snowmobile requires preventive

measures to aid against deterioration and to prolong the useful life of

many components. See page 117 for the part numbers of Polaris

products.

Cleaning and Preservation

Proper storage starts with cleaning, washing, and waxing the hood,

chassis, and plastic parts. Wipe down remaining surfaces with a damp

cloth. Clean and touch up with paint any rusted or previously painted

surfaces. Be sure that corrosive salt and acids are removed from

surfaces before beginning preservation with waxes and rust inhibitors

(grease, oil or paint).
The machine should be stored in a dry garage or shed, out of direct

sunlight, and covered with a fabric snowmobile cover. Plastic tarp may

cause condensation to form and damage snowmobile components.

Controls and Linkage

All bushings, spindle shafts, tie rod ends, and cables should receive a

light coat of oil or grease.
