Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with POLARIS Carbon Clean. See page 120.
2. Remove the spark plug. Pour 30-45 ml of engine oil into the plug
holes.
3. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification.
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap. Rein-
stall the caps.
5. Turn the engine over several times using electric start. Oil will be
forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cyl-
inder with a protective film of fresh oil.
6. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel
lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
