MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Extended Storage
Cleaning
1. Remove the drain plug and clean the bilge and engine area with hot
water and mild detergent (such as dish soap) or with bilge cleaner.
Rinse and drain thoroughly. Wipe up remaining water with clean
dry shop cloths. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Store the watercraft
with the drain plug removed and the seat propped open slightly to
inhibit condensation from forming in the engine compartment.
2. Wash the exterior of the watercraft with fresh water and a mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Inspect and thoroughly clean the jet pump intake, outlet and
impeller area. If damage to these areas is visible have it serviced by
an authorized Polaris dealer.
Never clean the watercraft with strong detergents, abrasives,
degreasers, paint thinner, acetone, window cleaners, ammonia or
products containing alcohol. They can damage finishes, decals,
vinyl and plastics and accelerate UV breakdown which could
cause color change and premature deterioration of parts.
4. After cleaning, protect and shine the watercraft using a regular
furniture polish or non-abrasive silicone wax. Protect the seat and
handlebar unit with a vinyl protector.
5. Spray the exterior of the engine with a protector and lubricant PN
2871064.
