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 Shock Body Threads

Lubricate rear shock body threads 

seasonally. We recommend the use 

of Polaris Shock Thread Lubricant, a 

silicone spray lubricant. This lubri-

cant is specifically designed for cold 

temperatures and high loads. Other 

silicone lubricants will not perform 

as well. See page 110 for the part 

numbers of Polaris products.

Driveshaft Bearing

Inject grease into the fitting on the 

speedometer 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.
