MAINTENANCE

Extended Storage

Electrical Connections

Separate electrical connector blocks and clean corrosive build-up from

connectors. Lubricate or pack connector blocks with dielectric grease

and re-connect. See page 112 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
Replace worn or frayed electrical wire and connectors. Be sure wiring

harness is properly secured away from sharp edges, steering linkage,

moving parts, and hot exhaust parts.

Battery

Always prepare and maintain the battery as outlined on page 109.

Track and Suspension

Moderate track tension should be maintained

during summer storage. The machine should

be supported off the ground to allow the track

to hang freely. See illustration.

Transporting the Snowmobile

Whenever the snowmobile is transported:
1. Turn the fuel valve (under the hood) clockwise to OFF (1) to shut

off the fuel supply. Turn the valve counter-clockwise to ON (2) to

turn the fuel supply on.

2. Be sure the fuel cap and

oil cap are installed

correctly.

3. Always tie the

snowmobile to the

transporting unit securely

using suitable straps.
