FWIW to everyone...
I do agree with the use of quality tie straps etc...
You're dealer likely will not use them (unless Polaris has supplied them with exactly what they want them to use), and does NOT from the factory. They are Panduit brand from the factory, but they still have sharp edges that can "rub through" and still use a plastic lock design. So if the rubbing/cutting still worries you, just keep that in mind.
If you're going to do this yourself, it is going to be worth it to use quality straps. Mainly for the protection from breaking in cold temps, and not releasing from it's lock position.
After looking closer at mine, I think I know what happend that allowed the line to move and end up rubbing. (my line had a 1/2" clearance upon delivery) The oil line protector going to the PTO bearing that the main oil line is tied to ended up getting pulled further down giving the main line room to move, and or the line protector simply slid down the PTO oil line, also giving it more room.
The pix of the ties that Mountainhorse posted are going to be your best bet.
Just make sure you wiggle the line protectors a little to make sure they won't slide or move anymore on the oil lines, and you shouldn't have any problems. Also, make dang sure you don't move the lines so much that you cause a kink in the lines.
EDIT: Here's what should be done! Installed on the lower right bolt of the PTO intake boot to hold the line in place.
