MAINTENANCE

General Maintenance

Intake Filters

The intake foam filter (

✪) limits snow ingestion into the intake system.

When operating in loose powder snow, check the top of the foam filter

periodically to remove any accumulation of snow.

Fuel Filter/Fuel Lines

See your Polaris dealer for replacement of the in-tank fuel filter every

1000 miles (or annually).

Inspect the fuel lines regularly for signs of deterioration or damage.

Always check fuel line condition after periods of storage. Normal dete-

rioration from weather and fuel compounds may occur. Replace worn

or damaged fuel lines promptly.

CAUTION

Operating the snowmobile with the intake filters removed may cause carbu-

retor icing. The result will be poor fuel economy or carburetor malfunction.

Always reinstall the intake filters before operating the snowmobile.

CAUTION

Kinking the fuel lines or using a pliers or similar tools to remove fuel lines

may cause damage to the lines. If a fuel line has been damaged or kinked,

replace it promptly.
