Watercraft Engine Fogging Procedure
Polaris recommends the use of fogging oil to prevent
rust and corrosion on internal engine parts (i.e.
crankshaft, bearings, pistons, rings, cylinder walls).
The fogging oil coats all internal parts for prevention
of rust and corrosion, which in turn will extend the life
of the engine. See page 101 for part numbers of Polaris
products.
1. Remove the
three caps (1)
in the top of
the air intake
cover.
2. Start the engine and
spray Polaris fogging
oil into the hole in the
intake cover (2) to
ensure that all internal
parts are properly
coated. Spray the oil
for two to three
seconds in each hole and repeat to flood the engine
with fogging oil. Immediately stop the engine.
3. Replace the caps in the air intake cover.
CAUTION
Failure to fog the engine can result in serious
engine corrosion during off season or extended
storage. Always fog the engine as outlined before
storing the watercraft for extended periods.

CAUTION
Operating the engine while the watercraft is out of
the water will cause the engine to overheat and
seize. Never operate the engine for more than 15
seconds while the watercraft is out of the water.
