MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Rear Suspension

Lubricate the suspension pivot shafts with Polaris Premium All Season 

Grease at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Table 

beginning on page 85 and before seasonal storage. When operating in 

heavy, wet snow conditions, lubricate every 500 miles (800 km).
Lack of lubrication will adversely affect your ride and the life of the sus-

pension. For more information about suspension lubrication and adjust-

ments, see your Polaris dealer.
