MAINTENANCE

Adjustments

It is your responsibility as the snowmobile owner to perform preventative mainte-

nance and periodic adjustments. Many of the items listed in this section you can

perform yourself. However, at times your snowmobile may need service requiring

special tools and technical skills. In these situations, we recommend you contact

your Polaris dealer.
Loose nuts and bolts can reduce your snowmobile’s reliability and cause needless

repairs and down time. Before beginning any snowmobile trip, a quick inspection

of these areas will uncover potential problems.

ly or approximately every 1000 miles (1600 km). The
