MAINTENANCE POLARIS Recommended Maintenance Program To ensure many trouble-free miles of snowmobiling enjoyment, follow recommended regular maintenance and perform service checks as outlined in this manual. Record maintenance and service in the Maintenance Log beginning on page 157. The recommended maintenance schedule on your snowmobile calls for service and maintenance inspections at 150 miles (240 km), 500 miles (800 km) and 1500 miles (2400 km). These inspections should be performed by a qualified service technician. For continued optimum performance and component life, continue maintenance checks at 1500 mile (2400 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 make adjustments to 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. POLARIS does not recommend tipping the snowmobile onto it's side for service. In the event of a tip-over or rollover, check the oil level before operating the snowmobile. Inspect the foam oil breather element any time the snowmobile has been tipped onto its left side. Clean the element if oil is present. See page 102. NOTICE: Hot components can cause damage to plastic. Always make sure the exhaust system and engine have cooled if you must tip the snowmobile on its side for service or inspection. 90
