Maintenance

Lubrication Recommendations

Inspect and lubricate all greaseable components at the intervals outlined

in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50.
Controls and Linkage

Lubricate all bushings and tie rod ends with a light coat of oil or grease.

Remove the spindle shafts and lubricate the bushings on the top and bot-

tom of the trailing arm.
Lubricate throttle and brake controls and cables with Polaris Premium

All Season Grease. Force a small amount of lubricant down the cable.

See page 58.
Bearings

Always grease drive shaft clutch side bearings with a high quality bear-

ing grease to prevent corrosion, which will destroy the bearings.
Electrical Connections

Separate the electrical connector blocks and clean corrosive build-up

from the connectors. Lubricate the blocks with dielectric grease and re-

connect. Replace worn or frayed electrical wire and connectors. Be sure

wiring harnesses are properly secured away from sharp edges, steering

linkage, moving parts, and hot exhaust components.
