4. At this point, turn the adjuster nut ¼ turn counter clockwise.
5. Tighten and then torque the jam nut to the specification listed in the Owner’s
Manual. Release the parking brake.
NOTICE
If the snowmobile is equipped with a transmission (Titan / WideTrak
snowmobiles), there is not a drive chain adjustment procedure.
CLEANING THE SNOWMOBILE
Snowmobiles, especially those transported on sled decks and open trailers can
accumulate a lot of water and road dirt / salt during the riding season. The
snowmobile must be thoroughly washed and cleaned to prevent corrosion and
rust formation.
1. Wash the snowmobile with a garden hose and a solution of soapy water.
Note that if a pressure washer is used, care should be taken to not point the
pressure washer nozzle close to the snowmobile which may force high
pressure water into suspension / shock shaft seals and exposed electrical
connectors.
2. Dry the snowmobile with a lint-free towel. Allow the entire snowmobile to air
dry afterwards.
3. Clean the engine compartment. Use a shop vacuum if required to remove
dirt, leaves, cat tails, etc. from within the engine compartment.
4. Hand wash the exhaust system and dry the pipe and silencer with a clean
shop towel.
5. Apply “spray” metal protectant on exposed metal components, such as the
exhaust pipe, silencer, shock shafts, and suspension springs / pivots.
IMPORTANT
Do not spray metal protectant on the drive or driven clutches.
LUBRICATE THE PIVOTS
After washing the snowmobile, it is important to use Polaris Premium All Season
grease to lubricate the various suspension / steering pivot points. Doing so
forces any water accumulated within the joints out which prevents the formation
of corrosion and rust.
