91 MAINTENANCE Brakes n Brake Fluid NOTICE: Brake fluid will damage decals, paint and so me plastics. Always wipe up spills immediately . Replace brake fluid at least every two years with Polaris DOT 4 high temperature brake fluid. See page 1 10 for the part numbe rs of Polaris products.
92 MAINTENANCE Brakes Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System Air in the hydraulic brak e system will cause spon gy brake lever action. Bleed the system before operating the snowmobile. During the bleeding proc edure, keep the brake handle as leve l as possi- ble.
93 MAINTENANCE Lights Removing Halogen Bulbs Do not touch a halogen bulb with ba re fingers. Oil from skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that w ill shorten the life of the lamp. If fin- gers do touch the bu lb, clean it with an alcohol-moistened towel.
94 MAINTENANCE Clutch System Periodically inspect clutch sheaves for damage, wear or belt residue. T o maintain optimum performance, clean with non-oil based cleaners such as isopropyl alcohol. NOTICE: The bushings in the weights and rolle rs of Polaris clutches are made of a material that may be damaged if lubricated.
95 MAINTENANCE Clutch System n Drive Belt Condition Belt width and length must match the center distance of the clutches and sheave width of the drive clutch. For this reason, Polaris recommends that only O.E.M. belts be used. Ot her belts may match the dimensions, but can drastically change the shif t pattern, resulting in poor perfor- mance.
96 MAINTENANCE Clutch System Drive Belt Removal NOTICE: Do not attempt to remove the dri ve belt after operati ng in reverse. The snowmobile must be stop ped after forward moti on to prevent damage to components during belt removal. 1. Stop the engine after operating in a forward motion.
97 MAINTENANCE Clutch System n Drive Belt Deflection Measure belt deflection with both clutches at rest and in their full neutral position. Place a straight edge on the belt and apply downward pressure while measuring at point A. This measurement should b e 1 1/4" (3.
98 MAINTENANCE T rack Replacement When replacing the track, always inst all a track having the lug size rec- ommended for your mo del. See your Polaris deale r . NOTICE: Installing tracks with larger lugs on machines equip ped with coolers will result in damage to the cooler or tu nnel.
99 MAINTENANCE T rack Lubrication The slide rail requires adequate snow cover for suf ficient lubrication. Excessive wear indicates insufficient lubrication. A new rail slide can cause faster heat build-up in limite d lubrication, resulting in excessive wear .
100 MAINTENANCE T rack T ension T rack tension is critical for maxi mum ef ficiency and performance. T rack tension controls the approach angl e of the track to the rail beam in powder snow conditions. Deep snow performance will be optimized at the specified tension.
101 MAINTENANCE T rack T ension If the track needs adjustment: 5. Loosen the rea r idler shaft bolt. 6. Loosen the lock nuts. 7. Tighten or loosen the track adjus ting screws as necessary to provide equal adjustment on bo th sides of the track. 8. Repeat the measurem ent on the other side of the track.
102 MAINTENANCE n T rack Alignment Periodically check that the track is centered and running ev enly on the slide rails. Misalignment will cause excessive wear to the track and slide rail. 1. Safely support the rear of the snowmobile with the track off the ground.
103 MAINTENANCE Steering System Steering Inspection and Adjustment Check all steering system fa stener s weekly and before a long r ide. T ighten any loose fasteners.
104 MAINTENANCE Steering System Ski Alignment W ith the handlebars in a st raight ahead position, and with veh icle weight compressing the suspension, measure from the straight e dge of the skis at the center of the sk i mounting bolt.
105 MAINTENANCE Steering System n Ski Skags Check skags before each use of the snowmobile to ensu re positive steer- ing characteristics. Skags must be replaced when worn to half their orig- inal diameter . Carbide skags must be replaced if any abnorma l wear or chipping is found.
106 MAINTENANCE Steering System n Rail Slide Wear For ease of inspection, all Polaris rail slides have a wear limit indicator groove to indicate the minimum permissible slide thick- ness. Replace the rail slides if they are worn to the top of the groove at any point along their length.
107 MAINTENANCE 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 componen ts.
108 MAINTENANCE Extended Storage Engine Protection Proper preparation of the engine and fuel system is vital to the preven- tion of rust an d corrosion on precision engine p arts during storage. Whenever the machine is stored for a period of more than 60 days, the engine must be fogged with foggi ng oil.
109 MAINTENANCE Extended Storage Electrical Connections Replace worn or frayed electrical wi re and connec tors. Be sure wiring harness is properly secured awa y from sharp edges, steering linkage, moving parts, and hot exhaust pa rts.
