To start your Polaris 600 Pro RMK in cold weather, ensure that the choke is fully engaged, and allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before riding. Make sure the battery is charged and use a fuel stabilizer to prevent any issues.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes checking the oil level every ride, inspecting the drive belt every 500 miles, and performing a full service every 1,500 miles. Regularly check and clean the clutches and ensure the track tension is correct.
Check the battery connections and charge, inspect the spark plugs for wear or fouling, and ensure there is fresh fuel in the tank. Additionally, check the kill switch and make sure it is in the correct position.
Use Polaris VES Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil for optimal performance and protection in your Polaris 600 RMK. This oil is designed to provide excellent lubrication and reduce carbon deposits.
To adjust the track tension, lift the rear end of the snowmobile and place it on a stable support. Loosen the rear axle bolts and adjust the track tension bolts equally on both sides. Ensure there is a 1/2 inch gap when pulling down on the track. Tighten all bolts securely after adjustment.
If your Polaris 600 Pro RMK overheats, stop the engine immediately and allow it to cool down. Check the coolant level and inspect for any leaks. Ensure the radiator fins are clean and unobstructed. Avoid extended idling in warm conditions.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure the engine is properly tuned and maintained. Clean or replace air filters regularly, use the recommended oil, and maintain correct tire pressure. Avoid rapid acceleration and excessive idling.
To replace the drive belt, remove the belt guard and open the driven clutch by rotating it counterclockwise. Remove the old belt and install the new one, ensuring it is seated properly in the grooves. Reinstall the belt guard securely.
Common issues include starting problems, which can be fixed by checking the battery and spark plugs, and overheating, which requires checking coolant levels and radiator cleanliness. Regular maintenance can prevent these issues.
To winterize, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, run the engine to distribute it, and then drain the carburetor bowls. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Lubricate all cables and pivot points, and cover the snowmobile to protect it from the elements.
