Storage Tips

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

Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 68.
• Demand drive unit (front gearcase)
• ADC fluid (ADC models) (change every two years)
• Rear gearcase
• Transmission
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark

or contaminated)

• Coolant (test strength)

Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean, following the

instructions on the container. Run the engine for several minutes so

the Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. Stop the engine.

2. Remove the spark plugs and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To

access the plug holes, use a section of clear 1/4" hose and a small

plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil.

3. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification.
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap and rein-

stall the caps onto the plugs.

5. Turn the engine over several times using electric start. Oil will be

forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cyl-

inder with a protective film of fresh oil.

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

and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
