MAINTENANCE
POLARIS Recommended Maintenance Program
To ensure many trouble-free miles of snowmobiling enjoyment, follow
recommended regular maintenance and perform service checks as out-
lined in this manual. Record maintenance and service in the Mainte-
nance Log beginning on page 151.
The recommended maintenance schedule on your snowmobile calls for
service and maintenance inspections at 150 miles (240 km), 500 miles
(800 km) and 1500 miles (2400 km). These inspections should be per-
formed by a qualified service technician. For continued optimum perfor-
mance and component life, continue maintenance checks at 1500 mile
(2400 km) intervals.
All necessary replacement parts and labor incurred, with the exception
of authorized warranty repairs, become the responsibility of the regis-
tered owner. If, during the course of the warranty period, part failures
occur as a result of owner neglect in performing recommended regular
maintenance, the cost of repairs are the responsibility of the owner.
Personal safety is critical when attempting to service or make adjust-
ments to your snowmobile. If you're not familiar with safe service or
adjustment procedures and the use of tools, or if you don't feel comfort-
able performing these tasks yourself, contact an authorized POLARIS
dealer for service.
POLARIS does not recommend tipping the snowmobile onto it's side for
service. In the event of a tip-over or rollover, check the oil level before
operating the snowmobile.
Inspect the foam oil breather element any
time the snowmobile has been tipped onto its left side. Clean the ele-
ment if oil is present. See page 94.
NOTICE: Hot components can cause damage to plastic. Always make sure the
exhaust system and engine have cooled if you must tip the
snowmobile on its side for service or inspection.
