MAINTENANCE

Emission Control Information

Any qualified repair shop or qualified person may maintain, replace, or 
repair the emission control devices or systems on your snowmobile.

Emission Control Label

Your snowmobile is equipped at the time of sale with an emission 
control information (ECI) label and a factory-installed emissions 
information hang tag. These items are required by U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency regulations. The ECI label is permanently affixed to 
either the right side of the tunnel or the engine recoil cover. The ECI 
label should not be removed, even after you purchase the snowmobile. 
You may remove the factory-installed emissions information hang tag, 
which is intended solely for your use in making a purchasing decision.

Emission Control Maintenance Requirements

Your snowmobile is certified to operate on gasoline with a minimum 
octane level of 87 (R+M)/2. If your snowmobile is equipped with a 
check engine light and it comes on, you must take your snowmobile to a 
qualified dealer for diagnostic service. Specifications and adjustments 
for engine tune-ups are located in the Service Manual, which is 
available to your qualified service technician. Reverse (if equipped) 
must not be engaged during engine tune-ups.

Owner's Responsibilities

Please read the Snowmobile Engine Emissions Limited Warranty, and 
read the maintenance section of your owner's manual. You are 
responsible for ensuring that the specified maintenance is performed. 
POLARIS recommends that you contact an authorized POLARIS dealer 
to perform any service that may be necessary.

Non-ionizing Radiation

This vehicle emits some electromagnetic energy. People with active or 
non-active implantable medical devices (such as heart monitoring or 
controlling devices) should review the limitations of their device and the 
applicable electromagnetic standards and directives that apply to this 
vehicle.

MAINTENANCE

POLARIS Recommended Maintenance Program

To ensure many trouble-free miles of snowmobiling enjoyment, follow 
recommended regular maintenance and perform service checks as 
outlined in this manual. Record maintenance and service in the 
Maintenance Log beginning on page 136.

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 
performed by a qualified service technician. For continued optimum 
performance 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 
registered 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 
adjustments 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 
comfortable 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 
snowmobile on its side for service or inspection.
