The Polaris FS IQ Touring should undergo a standard maintenance check every 1000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. This includes inspecting the drive belt, checking fluid levels, and ensuring that all moving parts are lubricated and in good condition.
If the snowmobile is not starting, first check the battery connections and ensure they are tight and clean. Verify the fuel level and quality, and inspect the spark plugs for wear or fouling. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
The Polaris FS IQ Touring is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. For optimal performance in colder climates, a higher octane fuel might be recommended.
To store your snowmobile, fill the fuel tank and add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the exterior and undercarriage, and ensure all moving parts are lubricated. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the snowmobile to protect it from dust and moisture.
If the track appears loose, adjust the tension by loosening the axle nuts and turning the tension bolts equally on both sides of the track. Rotate the track to ensure it is centered and properly aligned before tightening the axle nuts.
To enhance fuel efficiency, ensure regular maintenance like changing the air filter, using the recommended fuel, and keeping the track properly tensioned. Riding at consistent speeds and avoiding rapid accelerations can also help.
To clean the engine, use a mild degreaser and a soft brush to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using high-pressure water as it can force water into sensitive electrical components. Rinse with a low-pressure hose and dry with a clean cloth.
The suspension can be adjusted by changing the spring preload using the adjustment collars on the shocks. For a firmer ride, increase the preload; for a softer ride, decrease it. Always adjust both sides equally to maintain balance.
If the snowmobile is overheating, first check the coolant levels and ensure there are no leaks. Inspect the radiator for blockages and clean any debris. Make sure the cooling fan is functioning properly.
To improve performance in deep snow, consider using a longer track with deeper lugs for better traction. Adjusting the suspension settings for more ground clearance can also help. Additionally, ensure the engine is tuned for high-altitude performance if necessary.
