Lubrication

Suspension and Steering

Lubricate the suspension and steering components with POLARIS Pre-
mium All-Season Grease at 500 miles (800 km) and annually or every
1000 miles (1600 km) thereafter. A grease gun kit, complete with grease
and adaptors, is available to lubricate all fittings on POLARIS snowmo-
biles. See page 103 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.

The illustration shows the lubrication points of suspension and steering
components. A + indicates a grease point or fitting.
• Grease the left and right spindles. Raise the front end of the snowmo-

bile to permit better grease entry into the spindle area.

• Lubricate both of the front ski pivots at the fittings as shown.
• Grease the jackshaft and driveshaft clutch side bearings.
• Use an aerosol lubricant on the steering post support bracket.
• Grease the steering post lower pivot.
• Grease the rear suspension pivot shafts (raise the rear of unit).
