MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Cleaning and Storage

Storage Tips
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 necessary repairs and then clean the vehicle thoroughly with a
mild soap and warm water solution to remove all dirt and grime. Don't
use harsh detergents or high pressure washers. Some detergents
deteriorate rubber parts. Use dish soap type cleaners only. High
pressure washers may force water past seals.
Stabilize the Fuel
Fill the fuel tank. Add Polaris Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or Polaris
Fuel Stabilizer (see page 115). Follow the instructions on the container
for recommended amount. Carbon clean will also reduce the possibility
of bacterial growth in the fuel system. It's best to allow 15-20 minutes of
operation for the stabilizer to disperse through the fuel in the tank and
carburetor. Turn the fuel valve off and drain the carburetor bowl
completely.

Oil And Filter

Warm the engine and change oil and filter.
Air Filter / Air Box
Inspect and clean or replace the pre-cleaner and air filter. Clean the air
box and drain the sediment tube.
Breather Filter
Inspect and clean or replace the breather filter.

Fluid Levels

Inspect the following fluid levels and change if necessary: front
gearcase, transmission, front hubs, and brake fluid.
Drain the Recoil Housing
Remove the drain plug from the recoil housing and drain any moisture.
