MAINTENANCE

Hood/Side Panel

The hood and side panels of the 
snowmobile protect the operator 
from moving parts. Never oper-
ate a snowmobile with the hood 
or side panels open or removed. 
Always ensure that the hood 
and side panels are securely in 
place before starting the engine.

To open a side panel, rotate the 
two 1/4-turn fasteners at the 
upper edges of the side panel. 
Release the side panel strap at 
the lower edge of the panel.

To remove an open side panel, 
pull the panel outward to release 
the tabs at the lower edge of the 
panel.

Removing the hood is not recommended. Any service requiring the 
removal of the hood should be performed by an authorized POLARIS 
dealer.

Lubrication

Rear Suspension

Lubricate the suspension pivot shafts with POLARIS Premium All Sea-
son Grease at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Table 
beginning on page 70 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 sus-
pension. For more information about suspension lubrication and adjust-
ments, see your POLARIS dealer.
