Storage Tips

See page 108 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
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.
Exterior
Make necessary repairs and then clean the ATV thoroughly with mild
soap and warm water 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.
Fuel Stabilizer
Polaris Carbon Clean is a fuel stabilizer and fuel system dryer. It
cleans the fuel system, the combustion chamber and the exhaust ports.
It also prevents bacterial growth and promotes better starting after the
storage period.
1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel and add Polaris Carbon Clean or Fuel
Stabilizer. Follow the instructions on the container for the
recommended amounts.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run for 15-20 minutes so the stabilizer
can disperse through the fuel in the tank and carburetor.
3. Stop the engine, turn the fuel valve off, and drain the carburetor bowl.

Oil and Filter

Warm the engine and change the 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.
Recoil Housing
Remove the recoil housing drain plug and drain any moisture.
