Storage Tips
Battery Storage
Remove the battery from the vehicle and ensure that it’s fully charged
before placing it in storage. See page 114 for instructions.
Engine Anti-Freeze
Test engine coolant strength and change if necessary. Coolant should
be replaced every two years.
Storage Area/Covers
Set the tire pressure and safely support the ATV with the tires 1-2” off
the ground. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated, and cover the
machine with a genuine Polaris ATV cover. NOTE: Do not use plastic
or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent
condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
Transporting the ATV
Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle.
1. Turn off the engine and remove the key to prevent loss during
transporting.
2. Always place the transmission in park and lock the parking brake.
3. Turn the fuel valve off.
4. Be sure the fuel cap, oil cap and seat are installed correctly.
5. Always tie the frame of the ATV to the transporting unit securely
using suitable straps or rope.
