MAINTENANCE
HOOD/SIDE PANEL
The hood and side panels of the snowmobile protect the operator from moving
parts. Never operate a snowmobile with the hood or side panels open or
removed. Always ensure that the hood and side panels are securely in place
before starting the engine.
To open a side panel, rotate the two 1/4-turn fasteners at the upper edges of the
side panel. Release the side panel strap at the lower edge of the panel.
To remove an open side panel, pull the panel outward to release the tabs at the
lower edge of the panel.
Removing the hood is not recommended. Any service requiring the removal of
the hood should be performed by an authorized POLARIS dealer, or equivalent
person.
LUBRICATION
REAR SUSPENSION LUBRICATION
Lubricate the suspension pivot shafts with POLARIS All Season Grease at the
intervals outlined in the Maintenance chapter and before seasonal storage.
When operating in heavy, wet snow conditions, lubricate every 500 miles (800
km).
Lack of lubrication will adversely affect your ride and the life of the suspension.
For more information about suspension lubrication and adjustments, your
authorized POLARIS dealer can assist.
