Fuel System Storage/Engine Fogging
Engine Fogging Procedure - AH Models
Failure to perform the following preventive maintenance can result in serious engine corrosion during off season
storage. In order to prevent rust and corrosion on internal engine parts (i.e. crankshaft, bearings, pistons, rings
cylinder walls), Polaris highly recommends the regular use of Polaris fogging oil. The engine should be fogged
daily when operated in salt water.

and Corrosion Inhibitor

When properly applied, fogging oil coats all internal engine parts for prevention of rust and corrosion, which in turn
will extend the service life of the engine.
1. Remove air intake cover and filter.
2. Start the engine and spray Polaris fogging oil towards
each carburetor throat to ensure that all internal parts
are properly coated. Spray fogging oil for two to three
seconds in each carburetor throat and repeat until the
engine is flooded with fogging oil. Then stop the
engine immediately.
3. Reinstall air filter and air intake cover. Torque bolts to
proper specification. See Chapter 3, Engines.
Never operate the engine for more than 15 seconds while
the watercraft is out of the water. Overheating of engine
and drive line components will result.
