Using a fuel stabilizer and topping off the fuel tank eliminates the need to drain the fuel system. If you prefer to drain the fuel tank, use the following procedure:
1Transfer unused fuel from the fuel tank to an approved fuel container using a siphon pump. Do not
2Securely support the front of the snowmobile with a jack stand so the machine is elevated and the engine is tilted rearward.
3Remove the spark plug(s).
4Rotate the engine slowly, watching the piston until it’s at bottom dead center (BDC), the lowest position in the cylinder. On twin cylinder models, the opposite piston will be up.
5Pour approximately two ounces of Polaris injector oil into the spark plug hole.
6Wait one to two minutes and perform steps 3 to 5 on remaining cylinders.
7Replace the spark plugs and lower the machine to the floor.
