GENERAL INFORMATION
Service Tips
In order to perform service work efficiently and to prevent costly errors, the technician should read the text in th is
manual, thoroughly familiarizing him/herself with procedures before beginning. Pictures and illustrations have
been included with the text as an aid. Notes, cautions and warnings have also been included for clarification of text
and safety concerns. However, a knowledge of mechanical theory, tool use and shop procedures is necessary to
perform the service work safely and satisfactorily. Use only genuine Polaris service parts.
A Cleanliness of parts and tools as well as the work area is of primary importance. Dirt and foreign matter will act
as an abrasive and cause damage to precision parts. Clean the snowmobile before beginning service. Clean new
parts before installing.
A Watch for sharp edges which can cause personal injury, particularly in the area of the tunnel. Protect hands
with gloves when working with sharp components.
A If difficulty is encountered in removing or installing a component, look to see if a cause for the difficulty can be
found. If it is necessary to tap the part into place, use a soft face hammer and tap lightly.
A Some of the fasteners in the snowmobile were installed with locking agents. Use of impact drivers or
wrenches will help avoid damage to fasteners.
A Always follow torque specifications as outlined throughout this manual. . Incorrect torquing may lead to serious
machine damage or, as in the case of steering components, can result in injury or death for the rider(s).
A If a torquing sequence is indicated for nuts, bolts or screws, start all fasteners in their holes and hand tighten.
Then , following the method and sequence indicated in this manual , tighten evenly to the specified torque value.
When removing nuts, bolts or screws from a part with several fasteners, loosen them all about 1/4 turn before
removing them .
.&. If the condition of any gasket or 0-Ring is in question, replace it with a new one. Be sure the mating surfaces
around the gasket are clean and smooth in order to avoid leaks.
.&. Some procedures will require removal of retaining rings or clips. Because removal weakens and deforms
these parts, they should always be replaced with new parts. When installing new retaining rings and clips use care
not to expand or compress them beyond what is required for installation.
A Because removal damages seals, replace any oil or grease seals removed with new parts .
.&. Polaris recommends the use of Polaris lubricants and greases, which have been specially formulated for the
top performance and best protection of our machines. In some applications, such as the engine, warranty
coverage may become void if other brands are substituted .
.&. Grease should be cleaned from parts and fresh grease applied before reassembly of components.
Deteriorating grease loses lubricity and may contain abrasive foreign matter.
A Whenever removing or reinstalling batteries, care should be taken to avoid the possibility of explosion
resulting in serious burns. Always disconnect the negative (black) cable first and reconnect it last. Battery
electrolyte contains sulphuric acid and is poisonous! Serious burns can result from contact with the skin, eyes or
clothing. ANTIDOTE: External - Flush with water. Internal - Drink large quantities or water or milk. Follow with
milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician immediately. Eyes - Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get prompt medical attention.

Warranty Policy
LIMITED WARRANTY
Polaris Industries Inc., 1225 Highway 169 North, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55441-5078, gives a ONE YEAR LIM-
ITED WARRANTY on all components of the Polaris snowmobile against defects in material or workmanship.
Details of warranty period and coverage may vary by model. This warranty covers the parts and labor charges
for repair or replacement of defective parts which are covered by this warranty. This warranty begins on the date
of purchase. This warranty is transferrable to another consumer during the warranty period through a Polaris
dealer. There is a charge of $35.00 payable to Polaris Industries Inc.
REGISTRATION
At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer and submitted to Polaris
within ten days. Upon receipt of this registration, Polaris will record the registration for warranty. No verification
of registration will be sent to the purchaser as the copy of the Warranty Registration Form will be the warranty
entitlement. If you have not signed the original registration and received the "customer copy", please contact your
dealer immediately. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL BE ALLOWED UNLESS YOUR SNOWMOBILE IS
REGISTERED WITH POLARIS.
Initial dealer preparation and set-up of your snowmobile is very important in ensuring trouble-free operation. Pur-
chasing a machine in the crate or without proper dealer set-up will void your warranty coverage.
WARRANTY COVERAGE AND EXCLUSIONS:
LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES
The warranty excludes any failures that are not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This warranty
does not cover accidental damage, normal wear and tear, abuse or improper handling. This warranty also does
not cover any snowmobile that has been altered structurally, modified , neglected, improperly maintained, used
for racing, or used for purposes other than for which it was manufactured, or for any damages which occur during
trailer transit or as a result of unauthorized service or the use of unauthorized parts. In addition, this warranty
does not cover physical damage to paint or finish, stress cracks, tearing or puncturing of upholstery material, cor-
rosion , or defects in parts, components or snowmobile due to fire, explosions or any other cause beyond Polaris'
control.
This warranty does not cover the use of unauthorized lubricants, chemicals, or fuels that are not compatible with
the snowmobile.
The exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty shall be, at Polaris' exclusive option, repair or replacement of
any defective materials, or components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY ARE
THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAI LABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS
SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAM-
AGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY
OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. Some states do not permit the ex-
clusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or implied warranties, so the above limitations or ex-
clusions may not apply to you if inconsistent with controlling state law.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MER-
CHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE
ABOVE ONE YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. POLARIS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES
NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
so the above limitation may not apply to you if inconsistent with controlling state law.
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE
If your snowmobile requires warranty service. you must take it to a Polaris Servicing Dealer. When requesting
warranty service you must present your copy of the Warranty Registration form to the dealer. (THE COST OF
TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE DEALER IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY) . Polaris suggests that you
use your original selling dealer; however, you may use any Polaris Servicing Deafer to perform warranty service.
Please work with your dealer to resolve any warranty issues. Should your dealer require any additional assistance
they will contact the appropriate person at Polaris.
This warranty also gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state.
If any of the above terms are void because of state or federal law, all other warranty terms will remain in effect.
Engine Oil
1 . Always use Polaris 2-Cycle engine oil.
2. Never substitute or mix oil brands as serious engine damage and voiding of warranty can result.
