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.
