MAINTENANCE

Polaris Recommended Maintenance Program

To ensure many trouble-free miles of snowmobiling enjoyment, follow

recommended regular maintenance and service checks outlined in this

manual.
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 adjust 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.
