Cleaning and Storage
Storage Tips
NOTICE: Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective
film created by fogging and damage could occur. Never start the
engine during the storage period.
Clean the Exterior
Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See
page 86.
Stabilize the Fuel
1. Fill the fuel tank.
2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel
Stabilizer. Follow the instructions on the container for the recom-
mended amount. Carbon Clean removes water from fuel systems,
stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons, rings,
valves and exhaust systems.
3. Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to
disperse through the fuel in the tank and carburetor.
4. Turn the fuel valve off.
5. Drain the carburetor bowl.
Air Filter / Air Box
Inspect and clean or replace the air filter. See page 67. Clean the air box.
Drain the sediment tube.

Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53.
• Transmission fluid
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark
or contaminated)
