Storage Tips

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

Maintenance Chart beginning on page 47.
• Demand drive unit (front gearcase)
• Transmission
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark

or contaminated)

• Coolant (test strength/fill)
Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. See page 95.
2. Support the front end of the machine so the engine is level or tilted

slightly rearward.

3. Remove the spark plug. Pour 2-3 tablespoons (30-40 ml) of engine

oil into the hole.

Tip: Use a section of small hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the

pre-measured amount of oil.

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 electric start. 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.

8. To eliminate any fuel remaining in the carburetor, run the engine

until it stops.
