  • Page 10 POLARIS snowmobiles are engineered to conform to these SAE standards. Our muffler systems are designed to reduce noise levels and must not be altered or removed. The sound of your snowmobile may not be welcome to non- snowmobilers, so you have a responsibility to operate your snowmobile with concern for others.
  • Page 11 INTRODUCTION VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS Record your snowmobile's identification numbers and key number in the spaces provided. NOTICE If installing an aftermarket tunnel wrap, do not cover the tunnel certification, tunnel VIN or emissions certification labels with the wrap. If the tunnel wrap doesn’t provide an opening for these labels, remove the section of wrap where the labels are located.
  • Page 12 Remove the spare key and store it in a safe place. Your key can be duplicated only by mating a POLARIS key blank using the same identification number with one of your existing keys, so if both keys are lost, the ignition switch assembly must be replaced.

Always wear an approved helmet and eye protection. Be prepared, be warm and be comfortable when riding. Be aware of the weather forecast, especially the windchill, and dress accordingly.
  • Page 17 SAFETY EXCESSIVE SPEED WARNING High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury or death. Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather. Always observe all state and local laws governing snowmobile operation and speed limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. If your speed is 40 MPH (64 km/h), your snowmobile is traveling about 60 feet (18 m) per second.

  • Page 114 MAINTENANCE 5. Using an 8 mm wrench, loosen the air bleed screw located on the top of the coolant outlet elbow. Use a shop towel to catch any coolant that leaks from the bleeder. Tighten the screw after a steady stream of coolant flows from the bleeder.
  • Page 115 MAINTENANCE EXHAUST SYSTEM Check the exhaust system for wear or damage at approximately 2000 miles (3200 km). Always allow the engine and exhaust system to cool completely before inspecting. WARNING Hot exhaust system parts can cause burns. Allow adequate time for the exhaust system to cool.
  • Page 116 Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16 inch or 1.5 mm). A kit is available for replacing brake pads. Your POLARIS dealer can assist. WARNING Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or death. Properly functioning brakes are vital to your safety.
  • Page 117 If the fluid is sufficient, the sight glass will be black. If the sight glass is any color other than black, add brake fluid. Replace brake fluid at least every two years with POLARIS DOT 4 high temperature brake fluid, or an equivalent product.
  • Page 118 MAINTENANCE BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM Air in the hydraulic brake system will cause spongy brake lever action. Bleed the system before operating the snowmobile. WARNING Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of brakes, which could cause an accident and lead to serious injury or death.
  • Page 119 POLARIS dealer. Any unauthorized modifications to clutches, such as adding or removing weights, will void the warranty. NOTICE The bushings in the weights and rollers of POLARIS clutches are made of a material that may be damaged if lubricated. Do not lubricate clutch bushings.
  • Page 120 MAINTENANCE CLUTCH ALIGNMENT OFFSET Clutch alignment offset is important for maintaining optimum performance. Your dealer can perform service and adjustments. A special tool is required to check for proper alignment. DRIVE BELT CONDITION Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt. Inspect the belt for signs of excessive wear (frayed edges, missing cogs, cracks) and excessive looseness.
  • Page 121 MAINTENANCE DRIVE BELT REMOVAL NOTICE Do not attempt to remove the drive belt after operating in reverse. The snowmobile must be stopped after forward motion to prevent damage to components during belt removal. Rotate the driven clutch counter-clockwise 1/ 4 turn by hand to ensure forward engagement before attempting to remove the belt.
  • Page 122 MAINTENANCE TRACK MAINTENANCE WARNING 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 running. TRACK INSPECTION WARNING Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the snowmobile, which could cause serious injury or death.
  • Page 123 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. WARNING 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.
  • Page 124 MAINTENANCE 5. Check for specified slack between the wear surface of the track clip and the plastic slider. Refer to the Track Tension Data Chart above. If the track needs adjustment: 6. Loosen the rear idler shaft bolt. 7. Loosen the locknuts. 8.

  • Page 127 Improper ski alignment or adjustment may cause loss of steering control, resulting in serious injury or death. Do not attempt to change the ski alignment or camber adjustment. Your POLARIS dealer can assist. 1. Place the handlebars in a straight-ahead position.
  • Page 128 MAINTENANCE SKI SKAGS WARNING Worn skis and/or skags will adversely affect handling. Loss of vehicle control may result, causing serious injury or death. Your dealer's studding chart can provide the recommended skags. If you install longer or more aggressive carbide skags than the original equipment, it may also be necessary to add track studs to maintain proper vehicle control while turning on hard-packed snow or ice.
  • Page 129 MAINTENANCE RAIL SLIDE WEAR Polaris rail slides run along the bottom of the rail to prevent track wear. The rail slide should be inspected periodically and replaced when necessary. For ease of inspection, all POLARIS rail slides have a wear limit indicator groove...

  • Page 136 MAINTENANCE FOGGING THE ENGINE Fogging the engine with Polaris fogging oil or similar commercial alternative is probably the most important storage step a rider can do to ensure the internal parts of their snowmobile’s engine do not rust and corrode during the storage season.
  • Page 137 In addition, removing the battery allows access to other maintenance items, such as the chaincase chain tensioner bolt. 2. Connect a Polaris battery tender or equivalent commercially available tender to the battery. 3. Inspect the electrical connections and wire harnesses throughout the snowmobile.
  • Page 138 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.
  • Page 139 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. 8. Install the back-up (secondary) drive belt into the belt holder.
