Polaris Timbersled ARO 120 SX, ARO 129, ARO 129 LE Manual

Routine maintenance for the Polaris Timbersled ARO includes checking and tightening hardware, inspecting the track and ski for wear, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring the drive system is clean and functioning properly. Regularly inspect the suspension components and make adjustments as needed.
If your Timbersled won't start, check the fuel supply, ensure the battery is charged, and inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. Verify that the kill switch is in the correct position and that all electrical connections are secure.
If the track is slipping, check the track tension and adjust it according to the manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the drive sprockets for wear and clean any debris that may be lodged in the track system.
To adjust the suspension for deep snow, increase the preload on the springs for a stiffer ride, which helps keep the front end from diving. You can also adjust the shock settings to provide more rebound and compression damping for more control.
Signs that the drive chain needs replacement include unusual noise during operation, visible wear or rust, excessive slack, and difficulty maintaining track tension. Regular inspection can help prevent unexpected failures.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure the engine is properly tuned and maintained, use recommended fuel types, and avoid excessive idling. Riding at consistent speeds and reducing aggressive acceleration can also help.
Before each ride, inspect the track and suspension for damage, check fluid levels, ensure all fasteners are tight, and verify that the brakes and throttle are functioning correctly. Checking the condition of the ski and ski mount is also important.
For off-season storage, clean the Timbersled thoroughly, lubricate moving parts, drain the fuel or use a fuel stabilizer, and store it in a dry, sheltered location. Elevate the Timbersled to prevent track deformation.
If overheating occurs, check the coolant levels and inspect for leaks. Ensure the radiator is clean and unobstructed, and verify that the water pump is functioning properly. Consider reducing load or speed if the problem persists.
Yes, you can convert your Timbersled ARO for dirt use with a dirt bike kit. This typically involves removing the snow track system and installing a wheel kit. Ensure all components are compatible and follow manufacturer guidelines for conversion.
