MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Gearcase Oil Level

Check the gearcase oil level at the 
intervals outlined in the maintenance 
charts beginning on page 75. Change 
the gearcase oil after the first 500 
miles (800 km), then every 2000 
miles (3200 km) or seasonally.

To check the oil level, place the 
snowmobile on a level surface.

The oil level should be between the 
“safe” marks on the dipstick (1). Do 
not overfill

Clean the dipstick before reinstalling.

POLARIS recommends the use of 
POLARIS Synthetic Chaincase Lube. 
See page 116 for the part numbers of 
POLARIS products.

Clean the magnetic plug (2) whenever changing the lubricant.

NOTICE: Mixing brands or using non-recommended lubricants could result in 

excessive wear to chain, sprockets and bearings. Always use 
POLARIS-recommended products for your vehicle.

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Throttle Cable

Lubricate the throttle cable 
lightly with grease or oil. With 
the engine off, turn the han-
dlebars to the left and lubri-
cate liberally as shown.

Front Suspension

The front suspension and steering components do not require 
lubrication.

Coupler Lubrication

Using a needle-point grease 
gun, grease the driveshaft cou-
pler only. The jackshaft on this 
model is a one-piece jackshaft 
that requires no lubrication.

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Rear Suspension

Lubricate the suspension pivot shafts with POLARIS All Season Grease 
at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Table beginning on 
page 76 and before seasonal storage. When operating in heavy, wet 
snow conditions, lubricate every 500 miles (800 km).

Lack of lubrication will adversely affect your ride and the life of the 
suspension. For more information about suspension lubrication and 
adjustments, see your POLARIS dealer.

MAINTENANCE

Spark Plugs

A new engine can cause temporary spark plug fouling due to the 
preservative added during the assembly process. Avoid prolonged idle 
speeds, which cause plug fouling and carbonization.

NOTICE: Using non-recommended spark plugs can result in serious engine 

damage. A spark plug with a heat range too high will always cause 
engine damage if the engine is operated in conditions more severe 
than intended for that plug. Always use the spark plugs recommended 
for your snowmobile.

• Use recommended spark plugs with the proper gap. Refer to the 

specifications section beginning on page 114.

• Use only resistor-type spark plugs.

• Torque spark plugs to 18-20 ft. lbs. (24-27 Nm).

Check the spark plug firing end condition after the engine has been 
warmed up and the vehicle has been driven at higher speeds. If a plug is 
fouled, replace the plug with a new plug.

CAUTION! A hot exhaust system and engine can cause burns. Wear 
protective gloves when removing a spark plug for inspection.
