Chaincase
Never leave ‘used’ lubricant in the chaincase during the storage season. Doing so may leave water present in the chaincase which may cause corrosion and rust.
-
Follow the Owner’s Manual procedures and drain / fill the chaincase with new Polaris SCL (Synthetic Chaincase Lubricant). All Polaris PRO-RIDE, AXYS, and MATRYX snowmobile feature ‘fill-to-spill’ lubricant fill specifications which makes it relatively ‘easy’ to re-fill the chaincase.
-
Rotate the driven clutch in the direction of forward vehicle travel to move the chain slack to the tensioner-side of the drive system. Lock the parking brake.
-
Loosen the drive chain adjuster lock nut. Turn the adjuster screw inwards until it can no longer be turned by hand.
-
At this point, turn the adjuster nut ¼ turn counter clockwise.
-
Tighten and then torque the jam nut to the specification listed in the Owner’s Manual. Release the parking brake.
NOTICEIf the snowmobile is equipped with a transmission (Titan / WideTrak snowmobiles), there is not a drive chain adjustment procedure.
