MAINTENANCE

Daily Storage

At the end of each ride, park the snowmo-

bile on a level surface and support it at the

rear with an appropriate track stand. The

track should be suspended approximately

4I (10 cm) off the ground.

Remove the key and cover the machine.

Extended Storage

Off-season or extended storage of your snowmobile requires preventive

measures to aid against deterioration and to prolong the useful life of

many components. See page 106 for the part numbers of Polaris prod-

ucts.

Cleaning and Preservation

Proper storage starts with cleaning, washing, and waxing the hood,

chassis, and plastic parts. Wipe down remaining surfaces with a damp

cloth. Clean and touch up with paint any rusted or previously painted

surfaces. Be sure that corrosive salt and acids are removed from sur-

faces before beginning preservation with waxes and rust inhibitors

(grease, oil or paint).

The machine should be stored in a dry garage or shed, out of direct sun-

light, and covered with a fabric snowmobile cover. Plastic tarp may

cause condensation to form and damage snowmobile components.

Controls and Linkage

Lubricate all bushings and cables as outlined in the Periodic Mainte-

nance Table beginning on page 67.
