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.
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) belts 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 a lightweight battery for
the 7S display, remove the battery from the battery charger and re-install it
back into the battery box. Follow the owner's manual for battery installation
procedures.
