1. Use a grease gun and Polaris Premium All Season Grease. Reference the
appropriate Owner’s Manual to locate any / all grease zerks on the steering
and suspension systems.
2. Pump fresh grease into all zerks until the grease can be seen purging out of
each joint.
3. Use a paper towel to clean up and remove all of the residual purged grease
from the joints.
STORING THE SNOWMOBILE
Never store the snowmobile in a hot, humid location if possible. Try to store the
snowmobile away from direct sunlight.
1. Cover the snowmobile with a Polaris cover or after-market equivalent cover.
2. Store in a location away from water, tall grass, and direct sunlight. The
storage location should have some level of ventilation to prevent stagnant,
humid air from accumulating in and around the snowmobile.
WINTER RIDE PREPARATION
Preparing a snowmobile for in-season service is basically performing some of
the summer storage procedures in reverse order.
1. Move the snowmobile outside to a well-ventilated area. Raise the rear
suspension up, off the ground. Remove the engine compartment side panel
and hood.
2. Prep the primary and back up (secondary) for winter use. It is recommended
the belts be washed with a solution of warm, soapy water and allowed to air
dry.
3. If the snowmobile is equipped with electric start or on-board battery, remove
the battery from the battery tender and re-install it back into the battery box.
Follow the owner’s manual for battery installation procedures.
4. Verify the spark plugs are installed and torqued. Re-install the spark plug
wires.
NOTICE
Verify you hear an audible “click” when pushing the spark plug caps down onto
the spark plugs. This ensures the plug caps are seated properly.
5. If you placed dryer sheets inside the engine compartment, remove them.
6. Using clean and dry shop towel, wipe down the exhaust pipe , silencer, and
clutch sheaves.
7. Install the primary drive belt onto the clutches with the “Polaris” writing
readable from the outside of the snowmobile.
