MAINTENANCE

Extended Storage

Bearings

Grease the jackshaft and drive shaft clutch side bearings with Polaris

Premium All-Season Grease or a similar high quality grease to prevent

corrosion.

Clutch and Drive System

Remove the drive belt and store in a cool dry location. Do not

lubricate clutch components, except the driven clutch shaft bushing as

outlined in the service manual. See your dealer.

Engine Protection

Proper preparation of the engine and

fuel system is vital to the prevention

of rust and corrosion on precision

engine parts during storage.

Whenever the machine is stored for a

period of more than 60 days, the

engine must be fogged with fogging

oil. Follow the engine fogging

instructions provided on the

container.

NOTE: Do not spray fogging oil

into the plenum. Remove

the plenum and spray the

fogging oil into the boost

box. Continue spraying

until the engine stops.

Always add Premium Carbon Clean or a fuel conditioner/stabilizer to

the fuel tank. Follow the instructions on the container, running the

engine for five minutes to get additives through the entire fuel system.

Top off with fresh fuel. Do not allow the snowmobile to run out of

fuel. See page 63.
