SAFETY Operator Safety The following signal words and symbols appear throughout this manual and on your vehicle. Your safety is involved when these words and symbols are used. Become familiar with their meanings before reading the manual. The safety alert symbol, on your vehicle or in this manual, alerts you to the potential for injury. WARNING The safety alert warning indicates a potential hazard that may result in serious injury or death.
SAFETY Operator Safety Follow the recommended maintenance program beginning on page 72 of this manual to ensure that all critical components on the snowmobile are thoroughly inspected by your dealer at specific mileage intervals. 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.
SAFETY Operator Safety Stay Clear of Track Your snowmobile is propelled by a revolving track that must be partially exposed for proper operation. 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.
Operator Safety SAFETY Riding Apparel Be prepared, be warm and be comfortable when riding. Be aware of the weather forecast, especially the windchill, and dress accordingly. See the chart on page 21. WARNING Avoid wearing loose clothing or long scarves, which can become entangled in moving parts and cause serious injury. Helmet Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding a Polaris vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards.
SAFETY Operator Safety 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. NOTE: Use of a backrest may hinder your weight shifting ability.
SAFETY Operator 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. Cargo Overload Too much weight on the rear of the machine may reduce your ability to steer. Do not exceed carrier and rack weight limits, and do not allow a passenger to sit on the seat back or the cargo carrier.
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 laws governing snowmobile operation and speed limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. Multiplying speed (MPH) by 1.5 will equal the approximate number of feet per second your machine travels. If your speed is 40 MPH, your machine is traveling about 60 feet per second.
SAFETY Operator Safety 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 machine will drown out the sound of approaching vehicles.
SAFETY Operator Safety Avalanches Snowmobilers should always be properly trained and equipped before traveling in mountainous terrain: • • • • Take an avalanche class Travel with experienced people Travel on designated trails Make sure each person is equipped with a shovel, probe and avalanche beacon. You don't have to be snowmobiling on a slope for an avalanche to occur. Be aware that all of the snow is connected.
SAFETY Operator Safety Ice and Snow Build-up WARNING Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your machine, 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.
SAFETY Operator Safety Driving Downhill When riding downhill, shift your weight to the rear of the machine 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 machine 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.
SAFETY Operator Safety Driving in Hilly Terrain WARNING Climbing a hill or crossing the face of a slope may result in loss of balance and machine roll-over, 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.
SAFETY Operator Safety Clutch Guard Do not operate the engine with the clutch guard removed. The clutch guard is designed to protect the operator from metal parts if the clutch should fail. Although the chance of failure is extremely remote, don't defeat the purpose of the safety guard by removing it. Clutches Do not attempt to service the clutches. All clutch service must be performed by your dealer. The clutch is a complex mechanism that rotates at high speeds.
SAFETY Operator Safety Inadequate Snow Conditions Moveable hood closures are included on some Polaris snowmobiles. They are normally left open and are located on the front upper and lower hood openings. If operating in deep snow or in extreme cold conditions (below -20_ F), Polaris recommends closing the upper hood closure. WARNING Do not drive for prolonged periods on blacktop, gravel, or ice. Doing so could cause irreversible track damage and lead to serious injury.
SAFETY Operator 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 machine and with what it will and won't do under various conditions. Even seasoned drivers should spend some time getting the feel for a machine before attempting ambitious maneuvers.
SAFETY Operator Safety Windchill/Temperature Charts The following information is provided to help you determine when temperatures become dangerous for riding.

THE PERFECT FIT Front Suspension Adjustments Independent Front Suspension (IFS) Break in the suspension for about 150 miles (240 km) before making any fine-tuning adjustments. Settings will vary from rider to rider, depending on rider weight, vehicle speed, riding style, and trail conditions. We recommend starting with factory settings and then customizing each adjustment individually to suit rider preference.
THE PERFECT FIT Front Suspension Adjustments WARNING Always verify ski alignment before making adjustments to the IFS. See page 102 to check alignment. If the skis are misaligned, see your dealer, as the camber adjustment may also be affected. For the best ride, the suspension should be adjusted to use the full travel of the shocks with occasional light bottoming.
THE PERFECT FIT Front Suspension Adjustments Spring Preload Increasing spring preload will increase ski-to-ground pressure. Decreasing spring preload will decrease ski-toground pressure. When adjusting, be sure the springs on both the left and right sides of the machine are at the same adjustment. To increase front shock spring preload, grasp the spring and turn it to the right. Turn it to the left to decrease preload.
THE PERFECT FIT Rear Suspension Adjustments Rider weight, riding style, trail conditions, and vehicle speed all affect suspension action. Each rear suspension can be adjusted to suit rider preference and deliver excellent performance for a given set of conditions. However, all suspension designs and adjustments involve a compromise, or trade-off. For example, a suspension set up for snowcross racing would provide a very stiff ride on the trail.
THE PERFECT FIT Rear Suspension Adjustments Suspension Performance Tips • Rider weight usually determines the position at which the spring preload should be set. However, this may vary with riding style. With a little experimentation, each rider can find a preferred setup. These adjustments are easy to make, involve very little time or effort, and greatly affect the ride. • In deep snow, a new rail slide will offer improved performance over worn rail slide. It can also improve top speed.
THE PERFECT FIT EDGE 136 Rear Suspension Adjustments Initial Spring Preload Setting (Sag Method) To set up the EDGE rear suspension torsion spring preload, measure the distance between the ground and rear bumper. This is measurement X. Take the first measurement with no rider and with the rear suspension at full extension. X NOTE: The rear bumper may need to be lifted upward slightly to fully extend the rear suspension.
THE PERFECT FIT EDGE 136 Rear Suspension Adjustments Rear Spring Tension To adjust rear torsion spring tension, rotate the three-position cam using the engine spark plug tool. Different rate torsion springs are available if a firmer ride is desired. See your dealer for more information. The following information is provided only as a guideline to be used for initial suspension set-up. Your set-up may vary based on your desired riding style.
THE PERFECT FIT EDGE 136 Rear Suspension Adjustments Indy Select Rear Shock Some snowmobiles are equipped with the Indy Select rear shock, which allows for adjustments to the compression valving. Locate the adjustment screw near the base of the shock. In half-turn increments, turn the screw clockwise to increase compression valving and stiffen the ride, or counterclockwise to reduce compression and soften the ride. There are approximately three full turns of adjustment available.
THE PERFECT FIT EDGE 136 Rear Suspension Adjustments Optional Torsion Springs Different rate torsion springs are available for some shocks if a firmer ride is desired. Contact your dealer for more information. Suspension Coupling On all Polaris snowmobile rear suspensions, there are two torque arms that control the movement of the rail beam. Prior to the advent of suspension coupling, these torque arms could move independently of each other.
THE PERFECT FIT EDGE 136 Rear Suspension Adjustments Suspension Coupling Rear To Front Coupling and the Rear Rear Scissor Stop (RRSS) The rear rear scissor stop (RRSS) couples the movement of the rear torque arm with the front torque arm and limits the amount of independent movement between the rear torque and the front torque arm.
THE PERFECT FIT EDGE 136 Rear Suspension Adjustments Weight Transfer During Acceleration The preferred method for controlling weight transfer during acceleration is by adjusting the rear rear scissor stop (RRSS). The factory setting is the best for most trail riding conditions. To decrease weight transfer under acceleration (for improved cornering), rotate the RRSS to a higher position. To increase weight transfer or ski lift during acceleration, move the RRSS to the rearward hole on high position.
THE PERFECT FIT Handlebar Adjustment Follow these steps to adjust handlebar angle at the handlebar block. 1. Remove the handlebar cover to expose the handlebar and the four adjuster block bolts. 2. Using a 7/16-inch wrench, loosen the four nuts on the bottom of the adjuster block (turn the handlebar either left or right for access to the rear nuts). Cover Bolts NOTE: If necessary, pry the blocks apart with a screwdriver. 3. Adjust the handlebar to the Nuts desired angle.
Traction Products THE PERFECT FIT Studs Before equipping your machine with traction products, be aware of the laws in your area pertaining to the use of traction products. See your dealer about installing studs and/or carbides. Many tracks with deep lug designs cannot be studded, but your dealer will be able to offer advice and assistance. Use only Polaris traction products on your snowmobile.
THE PERFECT FIT Traction Products nCarbide Skags A skag is a replaceable bar attached to the underside of the ski to assist in turning the snowmobile and to prevent ski wear caused by contact with roads and other bare terrain. Use carbide skags with studded tracks to help maintain proper vehicle steering and control. See page 103. If your machine has carbide skags, it may be necessary to add track studs to maintain proper vehicle control.
THE PERFECT FIT Traction Products Wear Strips To avoid excessive tunnel wear, tunnel wear strips must be installed whenever track studding is used. See your dealer for more information. Wear strips are designed for a specific stud length. See your dealer's studding chart for recommended traction accessories. Components (viewed from rear of track) 1. 2. 3. 4.

OPERATION Starting the Engine CAUTION Engaging the starter when the engine is running WILL result in serious engine damage, especially if the transmission is in reverse. Never engage the starter when the engine is running. 1. Turn the fuel valve on. See page 57. 2. Turn the key to the ON position. 3. Pull the engine stop switch up to the RUN position. 4. If starting a cold engine, flip the choke toggle to FULL CHOKE. Do not use the choke if starting a warm engine.
OPERATION Engine Break-In No single action on your part is as important to long, trouble-free machine life as proper break-in of a new or rebuilt engine. Premix the first tank of fuel with one pint of Polaris injection oil for each five gallons of fuel. This, in addition to the lubrication supplied by the injection system, will assure proper engine break-in. CAUTION Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will damage close-fitted engine parts.
OPERATION Engine Break-In Oil Injection System Always check and fill the oil tank when refueling. See page 59. CAUTION Serious engine damage can occur without the proper lubrication. Check the oil tank level often during the first tank of fuel. If the oil level doesn't go down, contact your dealer immediately. Oil Recommendations The only source of engine lubrication for your engine comes from lubrication added to the fuel and oil injection systems.
OPERATION Track Warm-Up WARNING A loose track or flying debris could cause serious injury or death. Stand clear of the front of the machine and the moving track. Never hold the snowmobile up or stand behind it while warming up the track. Do not use excessive throttle during warm-up or when the track is free-hanging. Use a stable rear support. WARNING Use of traction products such as studs, ice growsers, etc. will increase the possibility of track damage and/or failure.
OPERATION Slide Rail and Track Cooling CAUTION Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail and track, resulting in premature wear and failure. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads. Fuel WARNING Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
OPERATION Fuel Fuel Valve Turn the fuel valve clockwise to OFF to shut off the fuel supply. Turn the valve counter-clockwise to ON to turn the fuel supply on. OFF ON Fuel Recommendations Your Polaris engine is designed to run on 87 octane non-oxygenated or 89 octane oxygenated pump gasoline. There's a great deal of variability in the quality of the 87 octane gasoline available across the country, so we encourage the use of premium fuel when possible.
OPERATION Fuel Fuel Reserve Capacity (Mechanical Gauge) There are approximately two gallons of fuel left in the tank when the mechanical fuel gauge reads RES. Fuel System Deicers If you use non-oxygenated fuel, Polaris recommends the regular use of isopropyl-based fuel system deicer. Add one to two ounces per gallon (8-16 ml per liter) of gasoline to prevent engine damage resulting from fuel system icing and lean fuel mixtures. Never use deicers or additives containing methanol.
OPERATION n Oil Low Oil Indicator Light The low oil indicator light will alert the operator if the oil level is low. Visually check for oil in the bottle. Add oil before further operation of the snowmobile. CAUTION Operating the snowmobile without adequate engine lubrication can result in serious engine damage. Always check the oil level when refueling. Add oil as needed.
OPERATION Carburetion Proper carburetor adjustment is critical. A lean mixture (too much air, too little fuel) may result in piston burning, bearing failure, or complete engine failure. A rich mixture (too much fuel, too little air) may foul plugs and cause generally poor engine performance. A lean mixture may be caused by things like fuel line restrictions, foreign matter in the carburetor or clogged fuel filters. A rich mixture may be caused by snow build-up on the pre-filter in the air intake system.
OPERATION Carburetion Jetting Guidelines Changes in altitude and temperature affect air density, which is the amount of oxygen available for combustion. In low elevations and cold temperatures, the air has more oxygen. In higher elevations and higher temperatures, the air is less dense. The carburetors are calibrated for an altitude of 0-2000 ft. (0-600 m) and ambient temperatures from +5 to +25 degrees F. (-15 to -4 degrees C.).
OPERATION n Engine Stop Switch Push down on the engine stop switch (+) to ground out the ignition and stop the engine quickly. Pull the switch up to the ON position to allow restarting. + n Throttle Safety Switch The throttle safety switch is designed to stop the engine whenever all pressure is removed from the throttle lever and the throttle cable or valves do not return to the normal closed position.
OPERATION Throttle Lever WARNING An improperly functioning throttle lever may cause erratic machine 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 to determine what caused the safety switch to activate. 3.
OPERATION Emergency Stopping The following chart lists methods for stopping the snowmobile in the event of an emergency. See page 62 for more information about the engine stop switch and throttle safety switch.
OPERATION Reverse Operation Electronic Reverse (PERCt) Electronic reverse will activate only if the engine RPM is below 4000. If your machine is running at an altitude of over 6000 feet, adjust the ignition setting as described on page 67. Always make sure the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running at idle before shifting to reverse. WARNING Improper reverse operation, even at low speeds, may cause loss of control, resulting in serious injury or death.

This should take approximately two pumps. Do not use more than four pumps. + Throttle Cable Lubricate the throttle cable lightly with grease or oil. With the engine off, turn the handlebars to the left and lubricate liberally as shown.
MAINTENANCE Lubrication n Chaincase Oil Check the chaincase oil level at the intervals outlined in the maintenance charts beginning on page 72. Change the chaincase oil after the first 500 miles (800 km), then every 1000 miles (1600 km) or seasonally. Maintain the oil level between the “safe” marks on the dipstick. Clean the magnetic plug on the dipstick whenever checking or changing oil. Polaris recommends the use of Polaris Synthetic Chaincase Lube. See page 113 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
MAINTENANCE Spark Plugs A new engine can cause temporary spark plug fouling due to the preservative added during the assembly process. Avoid prolonged idle speeds, which cause plug fouling and carbonization. Refer to your Owner's Manual Supplement for the specific spark plug to be used in your machine. CAUTION Using non-recommended spark plugs can result in serious engine damage.
MAINTENANCE Spark Plugs 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. NOTE: 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.
MAINTENANCE Intake Filters CAUTION Operating the snowmobile with the intake filters removed may cause carburetor icing. The result will be poor fuel economy or carburetor malfunction. Always reinstall the intake filters before operating the snowmobile. The intake foam filter (+) limits snow ingestion into the intake system. When operating in loose powder snow, check the top of the foam filter periodically to remove any accumulation of snow. NOTE: These illustrations are general representations.
MAINTENANCE Fuel Filter/Fuel Lines The fuel filter is located inside the fuel tank. This component requires no maintenance. 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. CAUTION Kinking the fuel lines or using a pliers or similar tools to remove fuel lines may cause damage to the lines.
MAINTENANCE Carburetor The number stamped in the end of the main jet indicates the jet size. The jet installed at the time of manufacture is not necessarily correct for your elevation. It's your dealer's responsibility to make sure the correct main jet is installed. CAUTION Operating the snowmobile with incorrect jetting can result in serious engine damage. Have your Polaris dealer perform all carburetor adjustments to ensure all adjustments are done correctly.
MAINTENANCE Carburetor Water/Sediment Trap Service Most Polaris snowmobiles contain patented carburetor bowl water/sediment traps located at the bottom of each carburetor. The trap, consisting of a hose with a plug, should be drained at least every 2000 miles (3200 km) and inspected for contamination. WARNING When draining the traps, fuel spillage will occur.
MAINTENANCE Exhaust System Check the exhaust system for wear or damage at approximately 2000 miles (3200 km). To inspect, allow the engine and exhaust system to cool completely. Open the hood and inspect the muffler and pipes for cracks or damage. Check for weak or missing retaining springs or damper/support grommets. WARNING Hot exhaust system parts can cause serious burns. Allow adequate time for the exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine running.
MAINTENANCE Brakes n Hydraulic Brake Inspection Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snowmobile. See page 47. Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16I). A kit is available for replacing brake pads. See your dealer. WARNING Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or death. Properly functioning brakes are vital to your safety.
MAINTENANCE Brakes Brake Fluid On some models, the brake fluid level can be seen through a plastic sight glass in the brake reservoir. If the fluid is sufficient, the sight glass will be black. If the sight glass is any color other than black, add brake fluid. On all other models, frequently check the reservoir to be sure it contains the correct amount of fluid. To add fluid, remove the master cylinder reservoir cover.
MAINTENANCE Brakes 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.
MAINTENANCE Lights Headlight Adjustment The headlight may be adjusted for vertical aim using the following procedure. 1.
