Cleaning and Storage
Polishing the Vehicle
POLARIS recommends the use of common household aerosol furniture polish for polishing
the finish on your POLARIS vehicle. Follow the instructions on the container.
• Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch the finish of your
vehicle.
• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or reused cloths and
pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.
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 86.
Stabilize the Fuel
1. Fill the fuel tank.
2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel Stabilizer or equivalent
fuel treatments or stabilizers. Follow the instructions on the container for the
recommended 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 64.
Air Filter / Air Box
1. Replace the air filter. See page 76.
2. Clean the air box.
