Storage Tips
Fluid Levels
Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 76.
• Demand drive unit (front gearcase)
• Rear gearcase (if equipped)
• Transmission
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark
or contaminated)
• Coolant (test strength/fill)
Fog the Engine
1. After stabilizing the fuel, remove the spark plugs and add 2-3
tablespoons of engine oil. To access the plug holes, use a section of
clear 1/4" hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-
measured amount of oil.
2. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification.
3. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap and
reinstall the caps onto the plugs.
4. Turn the engine over several times using electric start. Oil will be
forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the
cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.
5. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel
lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
