Cleaning and Storage

Storage Tips

NOTICE: Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective film created by fogging and damage could occur. Never start the engine during the storage period.

Clean the Exterior

Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See page 115.

Stabilize the Fuel

1.Fill the fuel tank.

2.Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel Stabilizer. Follow the instructions on the container for the recom- mended amount. Carbon Clean removes water from fuel systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons, rings, valves and exhaust systems.

3.Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to disperse through the entire fuel delivery system.

Oil and Filter

Change the oil and filter. See page 78.

Air Filter / Air Box

Replace the air filter. See page 95. Clean the air box. Drain the sediment tube.

Fluid Levels

Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 69.

•Demand drive fluid (front gearcase)

•Rear gearcase fluid (if equipped)

•Transmission fluid

•Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark or contaminated)

•Coolant (test strength/fill)
