Storage Tips

Fluid Levels
Inspect the fluid levels. Change fluids as recommended in the Periodic

Maintenance Chart beginning on page 60.
• Demand drive unit (front gearcase)
• Transmission
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark

or contaminated)

Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. See page 101.
2. Support the front end of the machine so the engine is level or tilted

slightly rearward.

3. Remove the spark plug. Rotate the piston to BDC and pour two

ounces (59 ml) of engine oil into the cylinder.

4. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification.
5. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap. Reinstall

the cap.

6. Turn the engine over several times using the recoil starter. Oil will

be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the

cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.

7. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel lines,

and carburetor should be completely drained of gasoline.
