Table Of Contents

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1.1: Important Notes for Owners and Drivers

After reading this manual, store it in the snowmobile for convenient reference. It should remain with the snowmobile when the snowmobile is sold.

Some of the illustrations and photos used in this manual are general representations. Your model may differ.

Follow the maintenance program outlined in this manual. Preventive maintenance ensures that critical components of the snowmobile are inspected at specific mileage intervals. This service can be performed by your authorized POLARIS dealer.

You and your authorized POLARIS dealer must complete the registration form included with your snowmobile and forward it to us. This completed form is necessary to ensure warranty coverage.

Protect and preserve your right to ride by joining your local trail riding clubs.

When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a predetermined course for practice. Make sure they know how to drive and control the snowmobile before allowing them to make longer trips. Teach them proper snowmobile courtesy, and enroll them in driver’s training and safety courses sponsored by local or state organizations.

1.1.2: Preservation of the Environment

POLARIS is committed to supporting an environmental education campaign. We encourage state and provincial governments across the snowbelt to adopt rigorous safety training programs that encourage protection of our environment, including wildlife and vegetation.

Snowmobile clubs and other organizations are working together to protect our environment. Please support their efforts and operate your snowmobile with consideration for the protection and preservation of our environment.

1.1.2.1: Noise Level

One of the most publicized issues about snowmobiles is noise. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE®), the standard-setting body for snowmobile development, recommends that snowmobiles conform to prescribed sound levels.

POLARIS snowmobiles are engineered to conform to these SAE® standards. Our muffler systems are designed to reduce noise levels and must not be altered or removed. The sound of your snowmobile may not be welcome to non-snowmobilers, so you have a responsibility to operate your snowmobile with concern for others. We do our part by manufacturing quieter machines; we ask your help to further reduce the impact of noise by operating your snowmobile safely and responsibly.

1.1.2.2: Air Pollution

POLARIS engineers continuously investigate ways to reduce emission levels of two-stroke engines. We expect our efforts to lead to the reduction of potential air pollution.

In addition to our technological research, we encourage government agencies, manufacturers, distributors, dealers, ecologists, and other interested parties to work together to develop data on environmental topics.

1.1.3: Vehicle Identification Numbers

Record your snowmobile's identification numbers and key number in the spaces provided.

NOTICE
If installing an aftermarket tunnel wrap, do not cover the tunnel certification, tunnel VIN or emissions certification labels with the wrap. If the tunnel wrap doesn’t provide an opening for these labels, remove the section of wrap where the labels are located.

Chapter 2: Safety

2.2.1: Operator Safety

Follow the recommended maintenance program in the Maintenance chapter of this manual to ensure that all critical components on the snowmobile are thoroughly inspected at specific mileage intervals. Your authorized POLARIS dealer can perform this service.

WARNING
Driving a snowmobile requires your full attention. DO NOT drink alcohol or use drugs or medications before or while driving or riding as a passenger. They will reduce your alertness and slow your reaction time.

Snowmobiles are capable of traveling at high speeds. Use extra caution to ensure operator safety. Make sure your snowmobile is in excellent operating condition at all times. Always check major and vital safety components before every ride.

All POLARIS snowmobiles are designed and tested to provide safe operation when used as directed. Failure of critical machine components may result from operation with any modifications, especially those that increase speed or power. DO NOT MODIFY YOUR MACHINE. The snowmobile may become aerodynamically unstable at speeds higher than those for which it is designed. Loss of control may occur at higher speeds. Modifications may also create a safety hazard and lead to bodily injury.

The warranty on your entire machine is terminated if any equipment has been added, or any modifications have been made, to increase the speed or power of the snowmobile.

2.2.1.1: Stay Clear of Track

Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially exposed for proper operation. Do not stand on the plastic flap.

WARNING
Serious injuries may result if hands, feet, or clothing become entangled in the track. Be alert when riding, and remain properly seated to stay clear of the track. Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it while warming up the track. A loose track or flying debris could cause serious injury or death. We recommend having your authorized POLARIS dealer perform all track service and alignment procedures.

2.2.1.2: Stay Clear of Engine

Never attempt adjustments with the engine running. Turn off the ignition, open the side panels or hood, make the adjustment, secure shields and guards, secure the side panels and hood, and then restart the engine to check its operation.

WARNING
Serious injury can occur if fingers or clothing contact the moving parts of an engine. Always stop the engine before attempting adjustments.

2.2.1.3: Riding Position

Operating a snowmobile requires skill and balance for proper control. Rider positions may vary with experience and the features available on some snowmobiles, but under many conditions, the proper position is to be seated with both feet on the running boards and both hands on the handlebar grips for proper throttle, brake and steering control.

WARNING
Improper riding position may reduce control and could result in serious injury or death. Always ride in a position that allows for control of your vehicle.

2.2.1.4: Rider Capacity

This snowmobile is designed for a single rider only. Never carry a passenger on this snowmobile.

2.2.1.5: Riding Apparel

2.2.1.5.1: Helmet

Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding this POLARIS vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards. Clasp the buckle and pull each strap tight to ensure the helmet is properly secured to the head.

Parents should verify that young operators have a helmet that fits, and should obtain one of proper size if it does not fit before allowing operation.

  • Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) label.

  • Approved helmets in Europe, Asia and Oceania bear the ECE 22.05 label. The ECE mark consists of a circle surrounding the letter E, followed by the distinguishing number of the country which has granted approval. The approval number and serial number will also be displayed on the label.

2.2.1.5.2: Eye Protection

Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. Whenever riding a POLARIS vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or use a shatterproof helmet face shield. POLARIS recommends wearing approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eye wear is kept clean.

2.2.1.5.3: Clothing
WARNING
Avoid wearing loose clothing or long scarves, which can become entangled in moving parts and cause serious injury. Always wear an approved helmet and eye protection.

Be prepared, be warm and be comfortable when riding. Be aware of the weather forecast, especially the windchill, and dress accordingly. See Windchill/Temperature Charts.

2.2.1.6: Survival Preparation

For your safety, always ride in a group of other snowmobilers. Always tell someone where you're going and how long you expect to be gone. If it isn't possible to ride with others, and you must travel into remote areas, always carry survival equipment that's appropriate to the conditions you may encounter. Such equipment may include, but is not limited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a flashlight, food and water, a signaling mirror, a means of building a fire, and a two-way radio or cellular telephone.

Always carry the owner’s manual on your snowmobile. For added protection, purchase and carry the following items on your snowmobile as well:

  • Spare Drive Belt

  • Extra Set of Spark Plugs

  • Tow Rope

  • Fuel Deicer

  • Winter Survival Kit

  • Trail Map

  • First Aid Kit

  • Tool Kit

2.2.1.7: Excessive Speed

WARNING
High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury or death. Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather.

Always observe all state and local laws governing snowmobile operation and speed limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. If your speed is 40 MPH (64 km/h), your snowmobile is traveling about 60 feet (18 m) per second. If you look back for only two seconds, your snowmobile will travel about 120 feet (36 m). If your speed is 60 MPH (96 km/h), your snowmobile will travel about 180 feet (55 m) in two seconds.

Traveling at night requires extra caution. Check headlight and taillight to ensure proper operation, and don’t over-drive your headlight beam. Always be able to bring your snowmobile to a stop in the distance illuminated by the headlight.

2.2.1.8: Driver Awareness

Slow down when traveling near poles, posts, or other obstacles. Be especially alert if you're snowmobiling after dark. Always be on the alert for wire fences. Single strands are especially dangerous, since there may be a great distance between posts. Guy wires on utility poles are also difficult to distinguish.

Make sure the way is clear before crossing railroads and other roads and highways. The noise of your snowmobile will drown out the sound of approaching vehicles and bare roads limit the effectiveness of the steering system. Look ahead, behind, and to both sides before turning or crossing railroad tracks or highways. Steep embankments may also hide your view. Always leave yourself a way out.

Variances in snow depth and/or water currents may result in uneven ice thickness. You may drown if you break through the ice. Never travel on frozen bodies of water unless you have first verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the weight and moving force of the snowmobile, you and your cargo, together with any other vehicles in your party. Always check with local authorities and residents to confirm ice conditions and thickness over your entire route. Snowmobile operators assume all risk associated with ice conditions on frozen bodies of water.

When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a predetermined course for practice. Make sure they know how to drive and control the snowmobile before allowing them to make longer trips. Teach them proper snowmobile courtesy, and enroll them in driver's training and safety courses.

2.2.1.9: Disabled Operators

Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical skills. Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have an increased risk of loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death.

2.2.1.10: Mountainous Terrain Riding

Mountainous terrain operation, even for experienced riders, can present conditions and situations that could result in serious injury or death. Please review all of the information about riding in mountainous terrain on the following pages of this manual.

WARNING
An avalanche can occur at any time, in any conditions and on any slope.

The avalanche information provided in this manual should be considered basic information and is not intended to replace your participation in an avalanche safety training course. After reviewing the avalanche information in this manual, be sure to participate in an avalanche safety training course before riding in mountainous terrain. The training course will provide more information as well as the opportunity to practice riding and using proper search and recovery techniques.

For more information, education, training courses, and links to additional resources, visit:

  • www.avalanche.org for North American riders.

  • www.avalanche.ca for Canadian riders.

  • www.lavinprognoser.se for Swedish riders.

  • www.avalanches.org for European riders.

2.2.1.10.1: Get the Safety Gear

In addition to carrying a spare belt, spark plugs and tools on each snowmobile, each person in your riding group should wear the recommended snowmobile riding apparel and carry (on their person) the following survival items when riding in mountainous terrain:

  • A digital avalanche beacon with new “fresh” alkaline batteries

  • An avalanche probe

  • A compact shovel and hand saw

  • A backpack (preferably an avalanche air bag backpack)

  • Emergency provisions, including the following items:

    • Small first aid kit

    • Extra pair of gloves

    • Extra dry socks

    • Tow rope, map, compass/GPS

    • Lighter or waterproof matches

    • Signal mirror and whistle

    • Bottled water

    • High calorie snack food

    • Compact emergency blanket

2.2.1.10.2: Get to Know Your Safety Gear

Following the safety gear and apparel recommendations will increase your chances of survival if you encounter an avalanche or become stranded in the backcountry, but even experienced and properly-equipped snowmobilers, hikers and skiers perish in avalanches or succumb to hypothermia. Using a beacon or probe for the first time during an avalanche recovery operation, or not knowing how to deploy your avalanche air bag backpack during a slide, should be considered UNACCEPTABLE to you and all members of your riding group. It’s critical that you and all members of your riding group know how to use the safety gear.

While you may know how to use your gear, you may have to rely on your riding group to find you in an avalanche. Make sure they know how to use their gear.

  • Dress in layers. Multiple layers of clothing provide the best barrier to cold and wind. Layers can be removed, but if you start out without enough layers, they cannot be added later. Avoid cotton materials, which will freeze if they get wet.

  • Wear highly visible gear.

  • Try on all gear and equipment to make sure it fits and doesn’t interfere with your riding capabilities. Place all survival aids in your backpack and wear the backpack at all times. Non-essential items can be stored on the snowmobile in an accessory bag.

  • Read and follow the manufacturer’s user and maintenance instructions for all gear. If you have questions about how your gear works, contact the manufacturer for more information.

  • Practice using your beacons, shovels and probes with your riding group in real-world conditions wearing all of your gear. Have someone hide an active “transmitting” beacon by throwing it (not walking it) into a snowbank and timing your group’s search for it.

  • Test deploying your gear. If you own an avalanche air bag backpack, check with the manufacturer’s test deployment guidelines and bottle weight replacement specifications. Most air bag backpack manufacturers recommend testing the pack once a year so you know it works and feel comfortable with the bag and deployment time.

  • Make sure your probe and shovel are in good condition and that you know how to assemble them.

2.2.1.10.3: Get the Picture

Slopes steeper than 30º are more prone to avalanches, but any slope should be considered avalanche terrain, even small slopes with trees. Low-angle slopes are also avalanche terrain if they have steeper slopes above them.

NOTICE
The 30º slope graphic is for illustration purposes only. The risk of an avalanche is always present in mountainous terrain, regardless of slope angle.

Always look for the following warning signs of unstable snow. If you see or hear any of these signs, riding on or below any slope is dangerous and should be avoided:

  • Recent avalanches

  • A “whumpfing” sound under a snowpack

  • Cracks across the top of a snowpack

  • A recent heavy snowfall

  • Blowing snow

  • Rain

  • Rapid warming

2.2.1.10.4: Get Out of Harm’s Way
  • Before riding, always tell a responsible person (i.e. at the lodge or gas station) where your group is going.

  • Never ride alone. Always ride in a small, manageable group. Riding in a large group makes it more difficult to track riders or find missing members.

  • Go “one at a time”. Only one snowmobile at a time should cross, ascend or highmark a slope. Other riders should watch from a safe location until the previous rider exits the slope.

  • Never park at the base of a slope or at the bottom of a gully or valley. When parking to take a break or watch other riders, park at the sides of the slope with the front of your snowmobile pointed away from the slope.

2.2.1.10.5: Get to Know Your Mountain Snowmobile

The following information pertains to a deep snow/mountain snowmobile. This type of snowmobile is longer and narrower and has a higher center of gravity when compared to a typical trail snowmobile. These features make riding the backcountry a safer and more enjoyable experience.

The mountain snowmobile is slower, has a larger turning radius and will overturn more easily than a trail snowmobile. The skis are designed to float and provide more lift than trail skis. The track features paddles that pack and shovel snow rather than dig in and grip the snowpack.

Because POLARIS mountain snowmobiles feature tall track paddles, the rear suspension rails and sliders will sit above the snowpack on a groomed trail. Always deploy the scratchers and limit high speed operation when trail riding. Do not rely on the engine temperature gauge to determine when to deploy rail scratchers. The rail sliders and track can overheat well before the engine temperature indicates the need for more cooling.

Always practice riding your mountain snowmobile in a safe, open, flat area before attempting your first ride in mountainous terrain. This is especially important for low-elevation riders who are not accustomed to riding a snowmobile designed for deep snow.

Do not ride in mountainous terrain until you are comfortable riding and controlling your snowmobile in deep snow.

  • Practice turning, leaning and braking, both on the trail and off the trail. When you’re comfortable with these maneuvers, practice more advanced maneuvers in deep flat snow.

  • Learn techniques from more experienced riders.

  • Practice placing your feet in different locations on the floorboards to learn where your balance point is while performing turns and other maneuvers.

  • Practice traversing through deep snow, which is when you will often need to steer by leaning your body weight in the desired direction while turning the skis slightly in the opposite direction.

  • Practice using proper throttle control to maintain vehicle momentum and adequate track speed in deep snow. Everyone gets stuck at some point in time. If you know your snowmobile is becoming stuck, try to turn downhill as much as you can before the snowmobile comes to a stop.

2.2.1.10.6: Get the Forecast

Make a riding plan based on the current avalanche and weather forecast. It is important to remember that overnight weather conditions may have created unsafe riding terrain that was considered safe the day before.

Follow the page links below to locate current avalanche reports and conditions for your area of operation.

  • www.avalanche.org for North American riders.

  • www.avalanche.ca for Canadian riders.

  • www.lavinprognoser.se for Swedish riders.

  • www.avalanches.org for European riders.

2.2.1.10.7: Get Avalanche Safety Training

POLARIS recommends you and all members of your riding group participate in an avalanche safety course. Visit the education section of the Avalanche website for your region.

2.2.1.10.8: Avalanche Awareness

Avalanches are a matter of timing. A steep slope can be safe one day, but unsafe the next day due to changing weather and wind conditions.

  • Always review the user instructions provided with your safety equipment and follow the recommendations for maintenance, testing and use. Always test your safety equipment to ensure it works properly before riding in mountainous terrain.

  • Always store your survival gear in your backpack and wear the backpack. Do not store your survival gear on the snowmobile.

  • Always research current avalanche conditions in your area of operation before riding. Check with local law enforcement, resort or lodging personnel, gas station attendants and other riders to learn about current conditions and any advisories in the area.

  • Read and understand the avalanche danger scale. Pay attention to any danger level warnings issued for your area of operation.

  • Always remain alert while riding in mountainous terrain. Be aware of snowpack conditions above you as you ride. Avalanches can occur at any time regardless of current condition reports.

North American Public Avalanche Danger Scale

Avalanche danger is determined by the likelihood, size and distribution of avalanches.

2.2.1.11: Ice and Snow Build-up

WARNING
Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your snowmobile, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the under-hood area free of snow and ice.

Before driving, manually turn the skis to the left and right to be sure ice and snow are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty is encountered, remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing the steering linkage.

Excessive ice and snow build up can increase vehicle weight and may cause contact of moving components, resulting in reduced braking performance and component damage.

2.2.1.12: Driving on Slippery Surfaces

WARNING
Never attempt an abrupt change of direction when operating on slippery surfaces. Proceed slowly and use extra caution. Driving on ice or hard-packed snow reduces steering and braking control, which may result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Slow down and use extra caution when operating on slippery surfaces.

2.2.1.13: Inadequate Snow Conditions

Since snow provides the only lubrication for the power slide suspension and, on liquid cooled models, cooling for the engine, adequate snow cover is a requirement for operation of your snowmobile.

NOTICE
Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to the slide rail, track and/or engine.
WARNING
Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail and track, causing premature wear, damage and failure, which can result in serious injury. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid operating for prolonged periods on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.

2.2.1.14: Operating in Deep Snow

If the snowmobile becomes stuck in snow, clear the running board area of snow, then step down the snow in front of the snowmobile so that when the throttle is opened, the snowmobile will be able to climb up and over the snow.

2.2.1.15: Driving Downhill

When riding downhill, shift your weight to the rear of the snowmobile and reduce your speed to a minimum. Apply just enough throttle to keep the clutch engaged, allowing the engine's compression to help slow the snowmobile and keep it from rolling freely downhill.

WARNING
When driving on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding the brakes may cause the brake system to overheat, which may result in brake failure. Excessive or repetitive use of the brakes for high speed stops will also cause an overheated brake system. This condition may lead to a sudden loss of brakes and/or fire and may result in serious injury or death.

2.2.1.16: Driving in Hilly Terrain

WARNING
Climbing a hill or crossing the face of a slope may result in loss of balance and snowmobile rollover, causing serious injury or death. Use caution and good judgement when driving in hilly terrain.

Use extra caution when operating in hilly terrain. If climbing a hill is unavoidable, keep your weight low and forward. If you must cross the face of a slope, keep your weight on the uphill side of the snowmobile to maintain proper balance and avoid possible roll-over.

Slow down when reaching the crest of a hill. Be prepared to react to obstacles, sharp drops or other people or vehicles that may be on the other side of the hill.

If you're unable to continue up a hill, turn the snowmobile downhill before it loses momentum. If this isn't possible, spin the track just enough to dig in to prevent it from rolling back down the hill. Stop the engine and set the parking brake (if equipped). Keeping away from the downhill side of the snowmobile, pull the rear of the snowmobile around and point the front end and skis downhill. Remount the snowmobile, restart the engine, release the parking brake, and descend the hill carefully.

2.2.1.17: Drive Belt

Do not operate the engine with the drive belt removed.

Any servicing that requires operation without a belt can be performed by your authorized POLARIS dealer.

WARNING
Operation of the engine with the belt removed may result in injury or damage to the engine.

2.2.1.18: Intake Silencer

Do not operate the engine with the intake silencer or filter removed.

NOTICE
Damage to the engine may occur if the intake silencer or filter are removed.

2.2.1.19: Clutches

Do not attempt to service the clutches.

All clutch service can be performed by your authorized POLARIS dealer. The clutch is a complex mechanism that rotates at high speeds. Each clutch is dynamically balanced before installation. Any tampering may disrupt this precision balancing and create an unstable condition.

2.2.1.20: Cold Weather Drive-Away

Whenever your snowmobile has been parked for a length of time, especially overnight, always make sure the skis and track are loosened from ice and snow before attempting to drive. Apply the throttle with enough authority to put the snowmobile into motion, but always operate within safety limits.

On 2-up machines, always operate with respect for a passenger.

2.2.1.21: Maneuverability

While much control and maneuverability is achieved through the steering system and skis, maximum control is achieved by the shifting of your body weight. Maneuverability will change based on rider weight and foot position on running boards.

2.2.1.22: Driving Responsibly

Every snowmobile handles differently, and even the most docile conditions may become dangerous if operators drive improperly. If you're new to snowmobiling, acquaint yourself with the snowmobile and with what it will and won't do under various conditions. Even seasoned drivers should spend some time getting the feel for a snowmobile before attempting ambitious maneuvers.

  • A snowmobile depends on the rider's body position for proper balance in executing turns, traversing hills, etc. Always start on a smooth, level area to begin building your operating experience.

  • Before allowing someone else to use your snowmobile, know the extent of their operating skills. Check to see if they've taken a snowmobile safety course and have an operator's certificate. For their protection, as well as yours, make sure they take a snowmobile safety course. Everyone can benefit from the course.

  • Don't “jump” your snowmobile over large drifts or similar terrain. Jumping may injure your back because of spinal compression that could occur when the snowmobile impacts the ground. The seat and suspension of your snowmobile have been designed to provide protection under normal riding conditions. Your snowmobile is not intended for this kind of use.

  • Be courteous to oncoming traffic by dimming your headlights and reducing your speed.

  • When traveling in a group of snowmobiles, don't tailgate (follow too closely). Leave enough distance between snowmobiles to provide ample stopping room and to provide protection from flying snow and debris. Allow even more distance when driving on slippery surfaces or when driving in darkness or other low visibility conditions. Be aware of any snowmobile traffic around your vehicle. Drive defensively to avoid accidents.

  • Remove the key from the ignition when you leave the snowmobile unattended.

Chapter 6: The Perfect Fit

6.6.1: Suspension Quick Set-Up Guide

WARNING
Suspension systems contain moving components that can crush or cut. Keep hands clear of the suspension while the engine is running, someone is sitting on the seat, or the suspension is in motion. NEVER adjust the suspension while vehicle is in operation.

The front and rear suspensions on your MATRYX RMK snowmobile are easy to adjust. Just remember three simple steps:

  1. Ride your snowmobile.

  2. Adjust the rear track shock spring to tune vehicle balance (ski pressure and weight transfer).

  3. Adjust shock clickers (if equipped) to tune ride quality (stiffer or softer ride).

Step 1: Ride your snowmobile.

Ride the snowmobile in various terrain to fully experience the existing suspension settings before making any adjustments.

Step 2: Adjust the rear spring to tune vehicle balance.

After riding, you should be able to determine if the snowmobile needs more or less transfer.

  • For more transfer, decrease the rear track spring preload.

  • For less transfer, increase the rear track spring preload.

For lighter steering, decrease the rear track spring preload or increase the front track shock spring preload.

Step 3: Adjust shock clickers (if equipped) for ride quality.

For models equipped with monotube shocks, always adjust the rear track shock spring preload to enhance bottoming resistance.

Walker Evans Racing Velocity shocks come equipped with an inside clicker (low-speed) and an outside clicker (high-speed). These clickers adjust shock compression for high- and low-speed trail events. Adjust the clickers to control bottoming and adjust ride comfort.

  • Turn clicker counter-clockwise to decrease damping for a softer ride.

  • Turn clicker clockwise to increase damping for a stiffer ride and less bottoming.

  • Always adjust the low-speed adjustment control first. If desired ride is not achieved, adjust the high-speed adjustment control to improve ride.

NOTICE

Always adjust the clicker at least one click below full stiff (full clockwise) or shock damage will occur.

Test ride the snowmobile and continue making spring and clicker adjustments until you achieve the perfect ride.

6.6.1.1: Shock Locations

1 Front (IFS) shocks

2 Front track shock

3 Rear track shock

6.6.1.2: Shock Compression Damping

Shock compression damping is available for RMK KHAOS, and optional for PRO-RMK.

The primary adjustment for overall vehicle balance is RTS spring preload. Always perform the this adjustment first. After adjusting RTS spring preload to your satisfaction, compression damping adjustments can be made to control ride quality and bottoming resistance.

Compression damping can be adjusted on both the front and rear suspension. Make adjustments in 2-click increments, then test ride. When adjusting the front suspension, always adjust both clickers equally.

To stop bottoming of the front or rear suspension (stiffer ride), rotate the clicker(s) clockwise two clicks (as viewed from the top of the clicker), then test ride. Repeat the adjustment until bottoming stops and the desired ride quality is achieved.

For a more plush ride at the front or rear suspension, rotate the clicker(s) counter-clockwise two clicks, then test ride. Repeat the adjustment until the desired ride quality is achieved.

6.6.2: Independent Front Suspension (IFS)

6.6.2.1: IFS Shock Adjustments

Always perform shock spring preload adjustments with the weight of the vehicle removed from the shock and with the shock at full extension.

To engage the lock, squeeze the brake lever tightly and push forward on the lock. Hold the lock forward while releasing the brake lever.

NOTICE
If the brake lever is squeezed tightly enough, the lock will move freely into place. Do not force the lock or it may break.

The parking brake light on the gauge will light up if the parking brake lever lock is set while the engine is running. It will also be lit when the service brake is in use. If the parking brake light does not come on when the parking brake or service brake is in use, have it serviced by your authorized POLARIS dealer.

Lock Release

To release the lock, squeeze the brake lever tightly. The lock will return to the unlocked position.

WARNING
If the parking brake lever lock is partially or entirely engaged while riding, the brakes may overheat, resulting in brake damage. In extreme cases it could cause a fire, which could result in serious injury or death. Always ensure that the lever lock is completely disengaged before operating the snowmobile.

7.7.3.7: Track

Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice, poor lubrication conditions, or excessive speed voids the track warranty.

WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with a damaged track increases the possibility of track failure, which could cause loss of control resulting in serious injury or death. Always inspect the track for damage before using the vehicle.
WARNING
Use of traction products such as studs increases the possibility of track damage and/or failure. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time in marginal lubrication could severely damage track rods, break track edges, and cause other track damage. Examples of marginal lubrication would include frozen bodies of water without snow cover, icy trails, and no-snow conditions.

7.7.3.8: Hood and Side Panel Fasteners

CAUTION

The hood and side panels of the snowmobile protect the operator from moving parts. Never operate a snowmobile with the hood or side panels open or removed. Always ensure that the hood and side panels are securely in place before starting the engine.

7.7.3.9: Recoil Rope

Inspect the recoil rope and handle for excessive wear, and make sure the knot securing the rope inside the handle is secure. If excessive wear is found, your authorized POLARIS dealer can provide a replacement.

  5. Restart the engine using the normal starting procedure.

8.8.2: Break-In Period

8.8.2.1: Engine Break-In

IMPORTANT

Engines equipped with an electronic oil pump do not require initial fuel premix.

Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds for extended periods during the first three hours of use. Vary the throttle openings and vehicle speeds to reduce friction on all close-fitting machined parts, allowing them to break in slowly without damage.

CAUTION

Never mix brands of oil. Serious chemical reactions can cause injection system blockage, resulting in serious engine damage. Oils may also be incompatible and the result could be sludge formation, filter blockage, and reduced cold weather flow rates. All Polaris oils are compatible with each other.

Drive with extra caution during the break-in period. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, lines, and all other important areas of the snowmobile.

8.8.2.2: Automatic Engine Break-In Timers

NOTICE

The Patriot engine management system utilizes both a fuel injector break-in period and oil pump enrichment program. The duration of these break-in programs are independent of each other and are timed-out based on engine run-time at and above a specified engine RPM.

Break-In Function Engine Run Time Duration Description
Fuel Injectors 2 hours * 2% additional fuel
Patriot Engine Oil Pump Enrichment Period 10 Hours * 15% additional enriched oil supply to engine
* = Total engine run time above 3,500 RPM

8.8.2.3: Oil Injection System

Always check and fill the oil bottle during pre-ride inspection and refueling.

NOTICE

Serious engine damage can occur without the proper lubrication. Check the oil bottle level often during the first tank of fuel. If the oil level doesn't go down, contact your authorized POLARIS dealer or other certified technician immediately.

8.8.2.4: Drive Belt Break-In

  • The break-in period for a new drive belt is 30 miles (48 km). During this time, vary the throttle position under 50% and limit full throttle use.

  • New drive belts should be washed with warm, soapy water and allowed to air dry prior to use.

  • Always take time to warm up the belt and driveline prior to operating the snowmobile. Free the track and skis from the ground before engaging throttle.

8.8.2.5: QUICKDRIVE Belt Break-In

  • The break-in period for a new QUICKDRIVE belt is 100 miles (160 km). During the 100 miles of belt break-in, the rider will hear a sound made by the drive system. After the break-in period, the sound will become similar to that of a traditional chaincase.

  • Improper track tension can result in track ratcheting, which will affect QUICKDRIVE belt durability. Always maintain proper track tension.

  • During the break-in period, this belt sheds a fiber-type material in and around the drive system. Use a dry shop towel to clean the residue.

  • Stop occasionally and allow the snowmobile to cool after high throttle/high track load events. This will help the QUICKDRIVE belt achieve maximum performance and it will also break in the engine, drive belt and sprockets properly.

  • On-trail break-in should be performed at speeds no more than 50 MPH (80 km/h).

  • Always be cautious when jumping and landing a snowmobile. Avoid “power-on” landings. Damage caused to any component due to improper use or abuse is not covered by warranty.

8.8.2.6: Track Break-In

It is very important to inspect and adjust track tension after every ride for the first 150 mi (240 km) of use to ensure the proper tension during the break-in period. Aggressive riders in certain snow conditions may need to adjust track tension as early as 20 mi (32 km). After the break-in period track tension should be inspected every 150 mi (240 km).

IMPORTANT
Track tension must be kept at specification – neither too loose nor too tight. Overly loose track tension is inefficient and overly tight tension causes premature wear or drive train system failures.
NOTICE
Ratcheting occurs when the drive shaft drivers slip on the track. A ratcheting event typically produces extreme vibration and is often experienced when the track is subjected to heavy loads.

Early wear can be caused by two conditions – improper track tension and/or sustained trail riding at high speeds without scratchers. Neither condition results from a defect in the track, and wear caused by either or both of these conditions is not covered by warranty.

Loose tracks reduce drive system efficiency because:

  • Track tension constantly varies on snowmobiles as the rear suspension extends and compresses.

  • Loose track tension increases the chance for the drive shaft to ratchet in high load driving modes. Track ratcheting may damage the track and drive nubs.

  • Loose track tension decreases rail slider life and can cause uneven slider wear.

  • The slack in a loose track bows out in front of the rail tips. This bowing effect significantly reduces drive system efficiency, creates drag, and changes the approach angle of the rear suspension, which decreases the snowmobile's ability to get on top of the deep snow.

8.8.3: Track Warm-Up

WARNING
A loose track or flying debris could cause serious injury or death. Stand clear of the front of the snowmobile and the moving track. Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it while warming up the track. Do not use excessive throttle during warm-up or when the track is free-hanging. Use a stable rear support.
WARNING
Use of traction products such as studs, ice growsers, etc. will increase the possibility of track damage and/or failure. This could cause loss of control, resulting in serious injury or death. Always inspect for track damage before operating the snowmobile.

Follow these steps to ensure proper warm-up of the engine, drive train and track.

  1. Use an appropriate stand to securely support the rear of the snowmobile at the rear bumper. The track should be about 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground.

  2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up two to three minutes.

  3. Depress the throttle abruptly and allow the track to rotate several revolutions.

    TIP
    It will take longer to warm up the track sufficiently during colder outdoor temperatures.
  4. Release the throttle, apply the brakes, shut off the engine and lower the snowmobile to the ground.

  5. Grasp the skis by their front loops and move them from side to side to loosen snow and ice.

8.8.4: Slide Rail and Track Cooling

NOTICE
Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail and track, resulting in premature wear and failure. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.

8.8.5: Rail Scratchers

Some models are equipped with rail scratchers to help prevent overheating when riding on ice or hard-packed snow.

NOTICE
Do not install accessory bogie wheels on the inside of the rail beams if your model is equipped with a remote reservoir rear track shock or damage will occur. The rail scratchers must be removed as they interfere with the accessory bogie wheels.

8.8.6: Deep Lug Track Operation

Deep lug tracks are designed specifically for operation in deep snow conditions. Operating with deep lug tracks on low snow, on hard-packed trails, on ice or at sustained high speeds may cause track overheating, lug separation and/or rail slider damage. Track damage attributed to track overheating and/or lug separation is not covered under the POLARIS limited warranty policy.

Never exceed the maximum recommended sustained vehicle speeds listed for the following deep lug tracks.

Deep Lug Track Type Maximum Sustained Speed
2.0 Crossover Track 70 MPH (110 km/h)
Series 6 (2.6 in) 60 MPH (95 km/h)
Series 7 (3.0 in) 60 MPH (95 km/h)
Series 8 (2.75 in) 60 MPH (95 km/h)

8.8.7: Fuel

  • Always carry spare spark plugs.

10.10.6.2: Spark Plug Inspection

Spark plug condition is indicative of engine operation. The spark plug firing end condition should be read after the engine has been warmed up and the vehicle has been driven at higher speeds. Immediately check the spark plug for correct color.

WARNING
A hot exhaust system and engine can cause burns. Wear protective gloves when removing a spark plug for inspection.
  1. Remove the left side panel and hood.

  2. Remove the spark plug cap.

  3. Using the spark plug wrench provided in the tool kit, rotate the spark plug counter-clockwise to remove it.

  4. Reverse the procedure for spark plug installation. Torque to specification.

  5. Reinstall the spark plug cap. Verify an “audible” click is heard when installing the plug cap.

10.10.6.3: Spark Plug Condition

Normal Plug

The normal insulator tip is gray, tan or light brown. There will be few combustion deposits. The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indicates the proper type and heat range for the engine and the service.

TIP
The tip should not be white. A white insulator tip indicates overheating, caused by use of an improper spark plug or incorrect carburetor/throttle body adjustments.
Wet Fouled Plug

The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing end. There may be a carbon layer over the entire nose. Generally, the electrodes are not worn. General causes of fouling are excessive oil or use of non-recommended injection oil.

10.10.7: Intake Filters

The intake filters 1 limit snow ingestion into the intake system. When operating in loose powder snow, check the filters periodically for damage and to remove any accumulation of snow.

10.10.8: Fuel Pump

All fuel pump service must be performed by an authorized POLARIS dealer. Do not attempt to service the fuel pump.

10.10.9: Fuel Filter / Fuel Lines

This snowmobile is not equipped with an in-line fuel filter. The fuel pump uses a sock-type pickup filter located within the fuel tank. This filter should only require maintenance if debris or foreign material enters the fuel tank. An authorized POLARIS dealer can provide service.

Contaminated or poor quality fuel may shorten the life of fuel system components and result in poor engine performance. Always store fuel in clean fuel containers. If low fuel pressure or reduced engine performance occurs, the filter may need replacement. An authorized POLARIS dealer can assist.

Inspect the fuel lines regularly for signs of deterioration or damage. Always check fuel line condition after periods of storage. Normal deterioration from weather and fuel compounds may occur. Replace worn or damaged fuel lines promptly.

NOTICE

Kinking the fuel lines or using a pliers or similar tools to remove fuel lines may cause damage to the lines. If a fuel line has been damaged or kinked, replace it promptly.

10.10.10: Cooling System

10.10.10.1: Coolant

POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. This antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. If the vehicle will be stored or operated at extremely low temperatures, greater protection may be required. An authorized POLARIS dealer can assist.

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we recommend that the system be completely flushed and drained every five (5) years and fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix.

Any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair, replace the coolant with fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix.

NOTICE
If coolant flow becomes restricted or plugged, coolant loss, air lock, or engine damage may result. Most cooling systems are equipped with a filter that should be periodically inspected or replaced.

10.10.10.2: Coolant Level

The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The recovery system components are:

  • Coolant bottle/overflow tank

  • Pressure cap

  • Connecting hoses

  • In-bottle Thermostat (850 and Boost models only)

Always maintain the coolant level at or slightly above the FULL COLD mark on the coolant bottle (when the engine is cold).

  1. Stop the engine.

  2. Open the right side panel.

  3. View the coolant level in the coolant bottle. Add coolant as needed.

NOTICE

Operating the snowmobile with insufficient coolant will result in overheating and serious engine damage. Always maintain the coolant level as recommended.

10.10.10.3: Flushing the Cooling System

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, Polaris recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years and fresh Antifreeze 50/50 Premix added. This service must be performed when the engine is cold. Your authorized POLARIS dealer can check the coolant when performing the fall tune-up on your snowmobile.

10.10.10.4: Bleeding the Cooling System

The cooling system is a self bleeding system.

CAUTION

Cooling system under pressure. Steam and hot liquids will cause burns to your skin. Never bleed the cooling system or remove the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot. Wear eye protection when servicing the cooling system.

NOTICE

Pressure cap rated at 13 PSI (0.9 BAR). Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly.

CAUTION

Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated area. Use the recommended 50/50 Extended-Life Antifreeze.

  1. Open the side panels and remove the hood.

  2. Close the side panels.

  3. Fill the coolant bottle to the COLD FILL mark.

  4. Install the coolant bottle cap to the first lock. Do not tighten to the fully seated position.

  5. Lock the parking brake.

10.10.12: Electronic Variable Exhaust System (E-VES) Maintenance

NOTICE
Improper cleaning or valve assembly installation may cause severe engine damage! The ECU must be programmed by an authorized POLARIS dealer if any component in the E-VES system is replaced or improperly serviced.

The engine in your Polaris snowmobile is equipped with E-VES. Periodic valve inspection and cleaning is not required or recommended as the exhaust valves do not rely on combustion pressure for operation. The E-VES system is designed to work when oil and carbon deposits form on the valves.

At the time of assembly, the valve range of travel is programmed into the engine management system. If blade travel is restricted for any reason, the engine management system will alert the rider and turn on the check engine MIL. E-VES service should only be performed by an authorized POLARIS dealer who has the tools and diagnostic software to properly service and program the system.

NOTICE
During engine break-in, E-VES diagnostic codes may appear during engine operation as the valves wear into their cylinder slots. Contact your authorized POLARIS dealer if the check engine MIL remains illuminated after the break-in period.

10.10.13: Quickdrive

10.10.13.1: QUICKDRIVE Belt Condition

Periodically check the condition of the QUICKDRIVE belt. Inspect the belt for signs of excessive wear, frayed edges, missing cogs and cracks.

Replace the QUICKDRIVE belt every 2000 mi (3200 km) and whenever inspection reveals excessive wear or damage. Special tools are required to remove and install the QUICKDRIVE belt. An authorized POLARIS dealer or other qualified technician can assist with this service, or refer to the instructions provided with the purchase of a new belt.

Improper track tension can result in track ratcheting, which will affect QUICKDRIVE belt durability. Always maintain proper track tension.

10.10.14: Brakes

10.10.14.1: Hydraulic Brake Inspection

Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snowmobile. See the Brake Lever Travel section for procedure.

Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes thinner than 1/16 inch (1.5 mm). A kit is available for replacing brake pads. Your authorized POLARIS dealer can assist.

WARNING

Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or death. Properly functioning brakes are vital to your safety. Be sure the brake pads do not drag on the disc and that brake lever travel is not excessive. Always replace brake pads when the brake pad material becomes thinner than 1/16 inch (1.5 mm).

10.10.14.2: Brake Components

  • 1 Brake Caliper

  • 2 Brake Pad Material - Replace when thickness is less than 1/16 inch (1.5 mm).

  • 3 Brake Disc

10.10.14.3: Excessive Lever Travel

TIP
The lightweight brake discs have vent holes that may cause a high-pitched sound during operation.

10.10.14.4: Brake Fluid

Replace brake fluid at least every two years with POLARIS DOT 4 high temperature brake fluid, or an equivalent product.

WARNING
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or serious injury.
WARNING
Keep the master cylinder cover free of dirt and debris. The vent slits allow for diaphragm movement, and if they become plugged, movement of brake fluid below the diaphragm may be restricted, altering brake function.
NOTICE
Brake fluid will damage labels, paint and some plastics. Always wipe up spills immediately.

10.10.14.5: Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System

Air in the hydraulic brake system will cause spongy brake lever action. Bleed the system before operating the snowmobile.

WARNING

Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of brakes, which could cause an accident and lead to serious injury or death. Never operate the vehicle with a spongy-feeling brake lever.

During the bleeding procedure, keep the brake handle as level as possible. The reservoir must be in this position to minimize the possibility of air entering the system through the reservoir vent.

  1. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir cover and gasket.

  2. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to between the MIN and MAX marks or 1/4-5/16 inch (.6-.8 cm) below the lip of the reservoir opening. Reinstall the gasket and cover.

  3. Slip a rubber tube over the ball of the bleeder valve and direct the flow of fluid into an approved container.

  4. Squeeze the brake lever a full stroke. Then unscrew the bleeder valve 3/4 of a turn to release air.

  5. Close the bleeder valve and release the brake lever.

  6. Repeat steps 4–5 until fluid flows from the bleeder valve in a solid stream free of air bubbles.

    WARNING

    Overfilling the master cylinder leaves no room for fluid expansion and may cause the brakes to lock, resulting in serious injury or death. Always add brake fluid to the fill line as recommended.

  7. After bleeding is complete, refill the reservoir to the proper level. See Brake Fluid.

  8. Reinstall the gasket and cover.

10.10.24: Summer/Long-Term Storage Guide

10.10.24.1: Treating the Fuel System

As the riding season draws to a close, Polaris recommends riders begin treating their snowmobile’s fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean or similar commercially-available fuel stabilizer.

Treating the fuel system with Carbon Clean during the last few rides of the season ensures the entire fuel system is treated. Then, when it comes time to store the snowmobile, all the rider has to do is completely fill the fuel tank with fresh, non-oxygenated fuel and treat the new fuel with Carbon Clean.
It is also recommended riders use non-oxygenated fuel during the last rides of the season as non-oxygenated fuel stores better than oxygenated fuel and resists water vapor absorption.
If the rider was unable to treat the fuel system and/or use non-oxygenated fuel at the end of the riding season, the rider should do the following:

  1. The rider should consume as much fuel in the fuel tank as possible during the last rides of the season.

  2. When performing the summerization storage procedures, fill the fuel tank completely with non-oxygenated fuel. Note that most oxygenated fuels contain ethanol. Since ethanol is hydroscopic, oxygenated fuel will absorb a small amount of water vapor during the storage season and more so in humid locations. Completely filling the tank with non-oxygenated fuel minimizes water vapor absorption during the storage period and limits the amount of air and water vapor that can accumulate in the tank.

  3. Treat the fuel in the fuel tank with the recommend amount of Polaris Carbon Clean. The recommended mixing ratio is outlined on the bottle label.

  4. Position the snowmobile outside in a well-ventilated area.

  5. Start and run the engine for 10-15 minutes to distribute the treated fuel throughout the fuel system.

NOTICE
On Carbureted engines (550cc / 120 Youth), run the engine for 10-15 minutes and then turn the fuel shut off valve to ‘OFF’. Continue to run the engine until the engine stalls and turns off. Doing this drains the carburetors of fuel.

10.10.24.2: Fogging the Engine

Fogging the engine with Polaris fogging oil or similar commercial alternative is probably the most important storage step a rider can do to ensure the internal parts of their snowmobile’s engine do not rust and corrode during the storage season.

To fog the engine, do the following:

  1. Remove the spark plugs from the engine.

  2. Liberally spray fogging oil into each spark plug hole. If possible, have an assistant slowly pull on the recoil rope to rotate the engine while spraying the oil into each cylinder.

  3. Loosely install the spark plugs.

    NOTICE
    Do not install new spark plugs after fogging the cylinders. Fogging oil prevents the formation of rust / corrosion by sticking to the internal engine components – including the spark plug electrodes. Replace these spark plugs the following season after all of the fogging oil has been burned out of the engine.

10.10.24.3: Drive Belt Storage

Never leave the drive belt installed in the clutches as oxidation may form where the belt contacts the aluminum clutch sheave faces.

To clean the drive and driven clutches, do the following:

  1. Remove the primary and spare drive belt from the snowmobile.

  2. Inspect the drive belt for wear and glazing. Compare the primary belt with the spare belt. Decide if a new belt is needed next season and note the primary belt can now be used as the spare belt next season.

  3. Clean the drive and driven clutch sheaves with Isopropyl Alcohol. Allow the alcohol to air dry. Continue cleaning the sheave faces until all belt residue is removed.

10.10.24.4: Battery/Electrical System Storage

Never leave a battery unattended during the storage season. Snowmobile batteries are small and cannot maintain their charge over the storage season. To ensure your battery maintains its level of charge, the battery should be connected to a battery trickle charger using the battery charge port.

  1. While the battery can remain installed on the snowmobile, it is recommended the battery be removed from the snowmobile and stored in a cool, and dry location. Removing the battery from the snowmobile facilitates off-site storage of the snowmobile where electricity may not be available to connect a battery charger. In addition, removing the battery allows access to other maintenance items, such as the chaincase chain tensioner bolt.

  2. Connect a Polaris battery charger or equivalent commercially available charger to the battery.

  3. Inspect the electrical connections and wire harnesses throughout the snowmobile. If damage is found, make a note of the damage so that you and your authorized Polaris dealer can address the concern.

10.10.24.5: Cleaning the Snowmobile

Snowmobiles, especially those transported on sled decks and open trailers can accumulate a lot of water and road dirt / salt during the riding season. The snowmobile must be thoroughly washed and cleaned to prevent corrosion and rust formation.

Cleaning any Polaris snowmobile should ONLY be done with a mild soap and water solution. Any cleaning, buffing or waxing products containing colorant dye should be avoided. If using products with colorant dye in them, test on an inconspicuous area of the bodywork before applying, as a dye may stain the finish.

  1. Wash the snowmobile with mild soap and water. Note that if a pressure washer is used, care should be taken to not point the pressure washer nozzle close to the snowmobile, which may force high pressure water into suspension / shock shaft seals and exposed electrical connectors.

  2. Dry the snowmobile with a lint-free towel. Allow the entire snowmobile to air dry afterwards.

  3. Clean the engine compartment. Use a shop vacuum if required to remove dirt, leaves, cat tails, etc. from within the engine compartment.

  4. If choosing to apply a cleaner, wax or polish, make sure it does not contain a colorant dye and/or test on an inconspicuous area of the panel. Also make sure the product is safe to use on Molded Nylon 6 material with or without a painted finish.

  5. Hand wash the exhaust system and dry the pipe and silencer with a clean shop towel.

  6. Apply “spray” metal protectant on exposed metal components, such as the exhaust pipe, silencer, shock shafts, and suspension springs / pivots.

    IMPORTANT
    Do not spray metal protectant on the drive or driven clutches.
Molded Nylon 6 Body Panels
IMPORTANT

The use of a high speed/orbital polisher/buffer is not recommended on Molded Nylon 6 components and could result in color fading.

10.10.24.6: Lubricate the Pivots

After washing the snowmobile, it is important to use Polaris Premium All Season grease to lubricate the various suspension / steering pivot points. Doing so forces any water accumulated within the joints out which prevents the formation of corrosion and rust.

  1. Use a grease gun and Polaris Premium All Season Grease. Reference the appropriate Owner’s Manual to locate any / all grease zerks on the steering and suspension systems.

  2. Pump fresh grease into all zerks until the grease can be seen purging out of each joint.

  3. Use a paper towel to clean up and remove all of the residual purged grease from the joints.

10.10.24.7: Storing the Snowmobile

Never store the snowmobile in a hot, humid location if possible. Try to store the snowmobile away from direct sunlight.

  1. Cover the snowmobile with a Polaris cover or after-market equivalent cover.

  2. Store in a location away from water, tall grass, and direct sunlight. The storage location should have some level of ventilation to prevent stagnant, humid air from accumulating in and around the snowmobile.

10.10.25: Winter Ride Preparation

Preparing a snowmobile for in-season service is basically performing some of the summer storage procedures in reverse order.

  1. Move the snowmobile outside to a well-ventilated area. Raise the rear suspension up, off the ground. Remove the engine compartment side panel and hood.

  2. Prep the primary and back up (secondary) belts for winter use. It is recommended the belts be washed with a solution of warm, soapy water and allowed to air dry.

  3. If the snowmobile is equipped with electric start or a lightweight battery for the 7S display, remove the battery from the battery charger and re-install it back into the battery box. Follow the owner’s manual for battery installation procedures.

  4. Verify the spark plugs are installed and torqued. Re-install the spark plug wires.

    NOTICE
    Verify you hear an audible “click” when pushing the spark plug caps down onto the spark plugs. This ensures the plug caps are seated properly.
  5. If you placed dryer sheets inside the engine compartment, remove them.

  6. Using clean and dry shop towel, wipe down the exhaust pipe , silencer, and clutch sheaves.

  7. Install the primary drive belt onto the clutches with the “Polaris” writing readable from the outside of the snowmobile.

  8. Install the back-up (secondary) drive belt into the belt holder.

  9. On carbureted snowmobiles, turn the fuel shut-off valve to the ON position.

  10. With the track suspended up, off the ground, follow the track tension adjustment procedure as outlined in your owner’s manual.

  11. Start and run the engine. Allow the engine to run for at least 15 minutes. Occasionally “blip” the throttle to rev the engine.

    NOTICE
    The exhaust may emit more smoke than usual as the fogging oil is burned out of the engine.
  12. While the engine is running, verify there are no coolant leaks (on liquid cooled engines). After engaging the throttle a few times to spin the track, verify the track is aligned with the slide rails.

  13. Turn off the engine. If the track requires, re-align the track at this time.

  14. After adjusting the track or allowing the engine to cool down. Add coolant to reservoir bottle if required.

  15. Re-start the engine and allow it to run for another 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, shutoff the engine and allow the exhaust pipe to cool.

  16. Remove and discard the spark plugs. Install new spark plugs into the engine. Obtain two more new spark plugs and install them into the spark plug holders or storage bag.

  17. Inspect the ski wear bars/carbides. Now is the time to replace the wear bars if damage if found or carbides are worn.

  18. Add Carbon Clean to the fuel tank.

  19. If equipped with a 7S Display, log onto www.ridecommand.com and download the software.

  20. Grease the rear suspension grease zerks with Polaris Premium All Season grease just enough to push out any water that may have accumulated in the suspension pivot points.

The warranty period for this emissions-certified vehicle starts on the date the vehicle is first purchased and continues for a period of 200 hours of engine operation; 4,000 kilometers (2,485 miles) of vehicle travel; or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first.

This Emissions Limited Warranty covers components if their failure increases the vehicle’s regulated emissions, and it covers components of systems if their only purpose is to control emissions.

For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine parts related to the following systems:

  • Air-induction system

  • Fuel system

  • Ignition system

  • Exhaust gas recirculation systems

The following parts are also considered emission-related components for exhaust emissions:

This Limited Warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This Limited Warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or improper handling, maintenance or use. This Limited Warranty also does not cover any engine that has been structurally altered, or when the vehicle has been used in racing competition. This Limited Warranty also does not cover physical damage, corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the control of POLARIS.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the owner’s manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner’s or operator’s improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.

Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. POLARIS recommends that you contact an authorized POLARIS dealer to perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends that you use only POLARIS parts.
