INTRODUCTION

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 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.

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.

INTRODUCTION

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.

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.

INTRODUCTION

SAFETY

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 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.

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 dealer perform all track service and alignment

procedures.

SAFETY

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.

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.

RIDER CAPACITY

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

this snowmobile.

SAFETY

RIDING APPAREL

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.

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.

SAFETY

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 page 27.

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

• Extra Oil

• Fuel Deicer

• Winter Survival Kit

• Trail Map

• First Aid Kit

• Tool Kit

SAFETY

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.

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. 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.

SAFETY

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.

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.

SAFETY

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

SAFETY

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.

SAFETY

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.

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.

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.

SAFETY

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 underhood 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.

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.

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.

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.

SAFETY

HIDDEN OBSTRUCTIONS

Always be aware of surroundings and terrain when riding your snowmobile.

Hazardous obstructions may be hidden beneath the snow. Reduce speed and

use extra caution whenever riding off established trails. Striking a hidden

obstacle could cause loss of control of your vehicle and lead to severe injury or

death. Remain on established trails whenever possible to reduce exposure to

hazards.

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.

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.

SAFETY

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

dealer.

WARNING

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

the engine.

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.

CLUTCHES

Do not attempt to service the clutches.

All clutch service can be performed by your 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.

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.

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.

SAFETY

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.

SAFETY

SAFETY LABELS AND LOCATIONS

Warning labels are placed on the snowmobile for your protection. Read and

follow the instructions of the labels and warnings on the snowmobile carefully. If

any of the labels depicted in this manual differ from the labels on your

snowmobile, always read and follow the instructions of the labels on the

LOCK ENGAGEMENT

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 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.

PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS

TRACK

Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or poor lubrication

conditions 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.

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.

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

POLARIS dealer can provide a replacement.

PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS

START THE ENGINE AND CHECK

Before starting the engine, always refer to all safety warnings pertaining to

snowmobile operation. Never engage the starter when the engine is running.

Never start the engine without checking all vehicle components to be sure of

proper operation. See page 83.

ENGINE STOP SWITCH

Check the auxiliary shut-off switch for proper operation. Push the switch down to

stop the engine. Pull it up to allow restarting.

IGNITION SWITCH

Make sure the engine stops when the ignition switch is turned to OFF.

TETHER SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)

If your snowmobile has a tether switch, remove the tether from the switch to

make sure the engine stops immediately.

LIGHTING

Check the headlight (high and low beam), taillight, and brake light. Replace

burned out lamps before operating.

MIRRORS (IF EQUIPPED)

Adjust the mirrors so they can be used to their full advantage.

OPERATING AREA

Before driving away, check your surroundings. Be aware of obstacles and make

sure bystanders are a safe distance from the snowmobile.

PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS

OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

IMPORTANT

Engaging the starter when the engine is running WILL result in serious engine

damage, especially if the engine is in reverse. Never engage the starter when

the engine is running.

1. Turn the key to the ON position.

2. Pull the engine stop switch up to the RUN position.

3. If equipped with electric start, turn the key to START to crank the engine.

Release the key to the ON position when the engine starts.

4. If not equipped with electric start, grasp the starter handle and pull slowly

until the recoil engages; then pull abruptly to crank the engine.

TIP

Don’t pull the starter rope to the fully extended position and don’t allow it to

snap back into the housing. Damage may result.

5. If the engine does not start after several attempts, slightly depress the

throttle no more than 1/4 inch (2.54 cm) open while cranking the engine.

When the engine starts, release the throttle.immediately

CAUTION

To avoid injury and/or engine damage, do not operate the electric starter or

pull-rope starter while the engine is running.

NOTICE

Operating the vehicle immediately after cold starting could cause engine

damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the

vehicle. If cold drive-away is attempted, the engine RPM may stumble slightly

to protect the engine.

OPERATION

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.

TRACK BREAK-IN

It is very important to inspect and adjust track tension after every ride for the first

150 miles (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 miles (32 km). After the break-in period track tension

should be inspected every 150 miles (240 km).

IMPORTANT

Track tension must be kept at specification – neither too loose or too light.

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.

OPERATION

FUEL

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.

• Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

• Always turn off the engine before refueling.

• Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.

• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where

refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored.

• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap

and water and change clothing.

• Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust

fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or death in a

short time.

WARNING

The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Operate this vehicle only

outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

NOTICE

Prolonged exposure to petroleum based products may damage paint. Always

protect painted surfaces when handling fuel.

NORTH AMERICAN FUEL

For peak performance, POLARIS recommends the use of fresh quality, non-

oxygenated 91 octane level fuel or above. Although 87 octane fuel is usable,

some engine performance will be lost and fuel economy will decrease. NEVER

use unleaded fuels with an ethanol rating of E15 or E85 as severe engine

damage may occur.

IMPORTANT

NEVER use fuel containing more than 10 percent ethanol, including E85 or 88

E15 fuel, in your snowmobile.

FUEL SYSTEM DEICERS

If you use non-ethanol fuel (sometimes labeled “non-oxygenated”), POLARIS

recommends the regular use of isopropyl-based fuel system deicer. Add 1-2

ounces per gallon (8-16 ml per liter) of gasoline to prevent damage resulting

from fuel system icing. Never use deicers or additives containing methanol.

POLARIS recommends the use of Carbon Clean.

OPERATION

Always maintain the oil level between

the “add” mark and the bottle neck. Do

not fill the bottle neck.

1. Immediately stop the engine if the

low oil indicator light comes on.

2. Open the left side panel.

3. View the oil level in the oil bottle.

4. Add oil as needed before operating.

NOTICE

Operating the snowmobile without adequate engine lubrication can result in

OPERATION

THROTTLE LEVER

WARNING

An improperly functioning throttle lever may cause erratic snowmobile behavior

and loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. If the throttle

lever does not work properly, DO NOT start the engine.

If the engine stops abruptly when the throttle lever is released:

1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2. Visually inspect the throttle cable and carburetor/throttle body to determine

what caused the safety switch to activate.

3. Test the throttle lever by compressing and releasing it several times. The

lever and cable must return to the idle position quickly and completely.

4. If the throttle lever operates properly, turn the ignition switch on and go

through normal starting procedures.

5. If the engine doesn't start, your authorized POLARIS dealer can perform this

service.

Excessive freeplay in the throttle cable may cause the safety switch to activate,

preventing the engine from starting. If this occurs, return the snowmobile to an

authorized POLARIS dealer for service.

If an emergency exists and it's necessary to start the engine, the throttle safety

switch and engine stop switch may be disconnected from the wire harness.

When these switches are disconnected, the ignition key switch must be used to

shut off the engine. DO NOT continue to operate the snowmobile with the throttle

safety switch disconnected. Return the snowmobile to an authorized POLARIS

dealer for service as soon as possible.

MAINTENANCE

SPARK PLUGS

SPARK PLUG RECOMMENDATIONS

NOTICE

Using non-recommended spark plugs can result in serious engine damage. A

spark plug with a heat range too high will always cause engine damage if the

engine is operated in conditions more severe than intended for that plug.

Always use the spark plugs recommended for your snowmobile.

A new engine can cause temporary spark plug fouling due to the lubricant added

during the assembly process. Avoid prolonged idle speeds, which cause plug

fouling and carbonization.

Refer to the Specifications chapter for the specific spark plug to be used in your

snowmobile.

Change the spark plugs at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance

section.

• Use recommended spark plugs with the proper gap. Refer to the

specifications section for the specific spark plug to be used in your

snowmobile.

• Use only resistor-type spark plugs.

• Torque spark plugs to specification.

TORQUE

Spark Plug

18-22 ft-lbs (24-30 N·m)

• Always carry spare spark plugs.

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.

110

MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

INTAKE FILTERS

The intake foam filters limit snow

ingestion into the intake system. When

operating in loose powder snow, check

the foam filters periodically to remove

any accumulation of snow.

FUEL PUMP

All fuel pump service must be performed by an authorized POLARIS dealer. Do

not attempt to service the fuel pump.

111

MAINTENANCE

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

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 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.

COOLING SYSTEM

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 dealer can assist.

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we

recommend that the system be completely 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.

COOLANT LEVEL

The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system. The recovery

system components are:

112

MAINTENANCE

• Coolant bottle/overflow tank

• Pressure cap

• Connecting hoses

• In-bottle Thermostat (850 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.

FLUSHING THE COOLING SYSTEM

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we

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 POLARIS dealer can check the coolant when performing

the fall tune-up on your snowmobile.

BLEEDING THE COOLING SYSTEM (850 MODELS)

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.

113

MAINTENANCE

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 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 snowmobile

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

dealer if the check engine MIL remains illuminated after the break-in period.

DRIVE CHAIN (IF EQUIPPED)

DRIVE CHAIN TENSION

Check drive chain tension weekly and before each long trip.

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 page

SUMMER/LONG-TERM STORAGE GUIDE

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.

143

MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

144

MAINTENANCE

4. Hand wash the exhaust system and dry the pipe and silencer with a clean

shop towel.

5. 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.

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.

146

MAINTENANCE

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 exhausted 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. Log onto www.ridecommand.com and download the latest TRAILS PIDD

update files. Update the PIDD (if equipped) with the latest TRAILS update

file.

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.

Warranty for your vehicle. POLARIS Industries Inc. warrants that at the time it is

first purchased, this emissions-certified vehicle is designed, built and equipped

so it conforms with applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission

regulations. POLARIS warrants that the vehicle is free from defects in materials

and workmanship that would cause it to fail to meet these regulations.

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. Repairing or replacing other components

not covered by this warranty is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. This

increase the vehicle’s regulated 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:

components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED

WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR

BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO

ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL

DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION,WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS

OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR

OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL,

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY

PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS 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 if it is inconsistent with the controlling state law.

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.

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. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by

an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle’s

emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.
