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 119.

The recommended maintenance schedule on your snowmobile calls for 
service and maintenance inspections at 150 miles (240 km), 500 miles 
(800 km) and 1000 miles (1600 km). These inspections should be per-
formed by a qualified service technician. For continued optimum perfor-
mance and component life, continue maintenance checks at 1000 mile 
(1600 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.

NOTICE: Hot components can cause damage to plastic. Always make sure the 

exhaust system and engine have cooled before tipping the snowmo-
bile on its side for service or inspection.
