MAINTENANCE
Track Replacement
When replacing the track, always install a track having the lug size rec-
ommended for your model. See your Polaris dealer.
NOTICE: Installing tracks with larger lugs on machines equipped with coolers
will result in damage to the cooler or tunnel. Always install a track hav-
ing the lug size recommended for your model.
Track Inspection
WARNING! Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the
machine, which could cause serious injury or death. Never operate with a
damaged track. Never rotate a damaged track under power.
1. Using a hoist, safely lift and support the
rear of the snowmobile off the ground.
2. Rotate the track by hand to check for
damage.
3. Carefully examine the track along the
entire length of each rod. Bend the track
to check for breakage.
4. Replace the track if any rod damage is
found.
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. Avoid operating for
extended periods on ice and other surfaces that have little or no snow for
lubrication.
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under other poor
lubrication conditions will void the track warranty.
NOTICE: High speed use on hard-packed surfaces is not recommended for
models equipped with a deep lug track. Track lug damage may occur.
Keep high speed use to a minimum, including frequent slow-speed
intervals for track cooling.
