MAINTENANCE

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 113 for the part numbers of Polaris products.

The illustration shows the lubrication points of suspension and steering 

components. Grease the left and right spindles. Raise the front end of 

the machine to permit better grease entry into the spindle area.
• Lubricate both of the front ski pivots at the fittings as shown.
• Grease the driveshaft clutch side bearing.
• 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).

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

EDGE 136 Rear Suspension

Driveshaft Bearing

Inject grease into the fitting on the speed-

ometer sensor housing until grease purges 

from the seal on the inside of the tunnel. 

This should take approximately two 

pumps. Do not use more than four pumps.

Throttle Cable  

Lubricate the throttle cable lightly 

with grease or oil. With the engine off, 

turn the handlebars to the left and 

lubricate liberally as shown.

Choke and Choke Cable

Lubricate the choke slide and cables 

lightly with oil or grease. Before 

turning the engine off, operate the 

choke intermittently to draw mois-

ture out of the choke plunger area 

and reduce the possibility of the 

choke becoming frozen.
