MAINTENANCE
TRACK LUBRICATION
The slide rail needs snow for lubrication. Excessive wear indicates insufficient
lubrication. A new rail slide can cause faster heat build-up in limited lubrication,
resulting in excessive wear.
Operating with insufficient lubrication between the rail slide and track guide
clips can cause track failure, loss of vehicle control and loss of braking ability,
which can result in serious injury or death. Avoid operating for extended
periods on ice and other surfaces that have little or no snow for lubrication.
If excessive rail slide wear occurs due to poor snow conditions, additional wheel
kits are available. Your authorized POLARIS dealer can provide more
information.
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under other poor
lubrication conditions will void the track warranty.
TRACK TENSION
Moving parts can cut and crush body parts. When performing the checks and
adjustments recommended on the following pages, stay clear of all moving
parts. Never perform track measurement or adjustments with the engine
Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain correct tension
and alignment. It is important to inspect adjust track tension after every ride for
the first 150 miles (240 kg) to ensure the proper tension during the break-in
period. Aggressive riders in certain snow conditions may need to adjust track
tension as early as 20 miles (32 kg). After the break-in period, track tension
should be inspected every 150 miles (240 kg).
Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain correct
tension and alignment. Track tension must be kept at specification to avoid
inefficiency, premature wear, or drive train system failures.
