MAINTENANCE
Extended Storage
Off-season or extended storage of your snowmobile requires preventive
measures to aid against deterioration and to prolong the useful life of
many components.
Cleaning and Preservation
Proper storage starts with cleaning, washing, and waxing the hood,
chassis, and plastic parts. Wipe down remaining surfaces with a damp
cloth. C lean and touch up with paint any rusted or previously painted
surfaces. Be sure that corrosive salt and acids are removed from
surfaces before beginning preservation with waxes and rust inhibitors
(grease, oil or paint).
The machine should be stored in a dry garage or shed, out of direct
sunlight, and covered with a fabric snowmobile cover. Plastic tarp may
cause condensation to form and damage snowmobile components.
Controls an d Linkage
All bushings, spindle shafts, tie rod ends, and cables shoul d receive a
light coat of oil or grease.
Clutch an d Drive System
Remove the drive belt and store in a cool dry location. Lubricate the
sheave faces of the drive and driven clutches with a light coat of oil or
Polaris Cable Lubricant. See page 99 for part numbers. Do not
lubricate clutch components, except the driven clutch shaft bushing as
outlined in the Master Repai r Manual. See your dealer.
