Cleaning and Storage

Storage Tips

Inspect and Lubricate

Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53.

Fog the Engine

Use POLARIS Engine Fogging Oil. Follow label directions carefully.

Battery Maintenance

See pages 83-85 for storage and charging procedures.

Storage Area/Covers

Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover the vehicle with a gen-
uine POLARIS cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do
not allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote
corrosion and oxidation.

Removal from Storage

1. Check the battery electrolyte level and charge the battery if neces-

sary. Install it in the vehicle. Make sure the battery vent hose is
routed properly and that it's not pinched or restricted in any way.

2. Make sure the spark plug is tight.

3. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.

4. Check all the points listed in the Daily Pre-Ride Inspection section

on page 38. Tightness of the bolts, nuts and other fasteners should
be checked by an authorized POLARIS dealer.

5. Lubricate at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance

Chart beginning on page 53.
