MAINTENANCE

Spark Plugs

Normal Spark Plug
The normal insulator tip is gray, tan or light brown. There will be few 

combustion deposits. The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indi-

cates the proper type and heat range for the engine and the service.

Tip: The tip should not be white. A white insulator tip indicates overheating, 

caused by use of an improper spark plug or incorrect carburetor/throttle 

body adjustments.

Wet Fouled Spark Plug
The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing 

end. There may be a carbon layer over the entire nose. Generally, the 

electrodes are not worn. General causes of fouling are excessive oil or 

use of non-recommended injection oil.

Spark Plug Removal and Replacement

1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Using the special wrench provided in the tool pouch, rotate the 

spark plug counterclockwise to remove.

3. Reverse the procedure for spark plug installation. 
4. Torque to 18-22 ft. lbs. (24-30 Nm).
5. Reinstall the spark plug cap.

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 Injectors

All fuel injector service must be performed by an authorized Polaris 

dealer. Do not attempt to clean or service the fuel injectors.

Fuel Pump

All fuel pump service must be performed by an authorized Polaris 

dealer. Do not attempt to service the fuel pump.

Fuel Filter

See your Polaris dealer for replacement of the fuel filter at the intervals 

outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Table beginning on page 85.

Fuel Lines

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.

NOTICE: 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.

MAINTENANCE

Oil Lines

Inspect oil line condition every 1000 miles (1600 km).

Oil Filter

The oil filter is located at the side of 

the oil tank. Have your dealer change 

the oil filter and bleed the system 

annually or every 1000 miles (1600 

km). 

Tip: The direction of the arrows indicates 

the direction of flow through the fil-

ter.

Exhaust System

Check the exhaust system for wear or damage at the intervals outlined in 

the Periodic Maintenance Table beginning on page 85.

CAUTION! Hot exhaust system parts can cause burns. Allow adequate time for 

the exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine 

running.

1. Allow the engine and exhaust system to cool completely.
2. Open the hood.
3. Inspect the muffler and pipes for cracks or damage. Check for weak 

or missing retaining springs or damper/support grommets.

4. Replace any damaged or missing components.
5. Close the hood.

MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

Coolant

The coolant supplied in the system at the factory is a 50/50 mixture of 

ethylene-glycol and distilled water, which will provide adequate freeze 

protection under most conditions. If the vehicle will be stored or oper-

ated at extremely low temperatures, greater protection may be required. 

Please see your Polaris dealer. 
When adding or changing coolant, Polaris recommends using Premium 

60/40 anti-freeze coolant, which is already premixed and ready to use. 

Do not dilute with water. Never exceed a 60% antifreeze/40% water 

mixture. See page 118 for the part numbers of Polaris products.

Tip: Never add tap water to the cooling system. Minerals cause deposits and 

may react adversely with the metals in the engine and cooling system.

n

Coolant Level

The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The 

recovery system components are:
• Coolant reservoir bottle
• Filler neck
• Pressure cap
• Connecting hoses
Always maintain the coolant level at the “COLD FILL” mark on the 

coolant overflow tank (when the engine is cold).

NOTICE: Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in 

overheating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant 

level as recommended.
