Watercraft Engine Fogging Procedure
Important: Failure to perform the following preventive maintenance can result in
serious engine corrosion during off season or extended storage. In order to pre-
vent rust and corrosion on internal engine parts (i.e. crankshaft, bearings, pistons,
rings, cylinder walls). Polaris highly recommends the use of Polaris fogging oil (PN
2870791) as a recommended storage procedure.
The fogging oil coats all internal parts for prevention of rust and corrosion, which
in turn will extend the life of the engine.

Loosen the two bolts holding the air intake cover (A) and remove the cover.
2.
