Polaris Recommended Maintenance Program MAINTENANCE 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 149. The recommended maintenance schedule on your snowmobile calls for service and maintenance inspections at 150 miles (240 km), 500 miles (800 km) and 1500 miles (2400 km). These inspections should be performed by a qualified service technician. For continued optimum performance and component life, continue maintenance checks at 1500 mile (2400 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. NOTE: Polaris does not recommend tipping the snowmobile onto it's side for service. Any time the snowmobile is tipped onto it's left side, always check the oil level and clean the foam oil breather element. See page 97. CAUTION 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. Tool Kit A tool kit is included with each snowmobile for emergency use. Always keep the tool kit with the snowmobile. 87
