MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
Polaris Recommended 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), 1000 miles (1600 km), and 2000 miles (3200 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.
The following chart is a guide based on average riding conditions. You may need to increase frequency based on riding conditions.
When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, always use genuine Polaris parts, available from your Polaris dealer.
