Fog the Engine
1. Support the front end of the machine so the engine is level or tilted

slightly rearward.

2. Remove the spark plug.
3. Pour 2-3 tablespoons (29-44 ml) of engine oil into the hole.

NOTE: Use a section of small hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle

filled with the pre-measured amount of oil.

4. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification.
5. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap.

Reinstall the cap.

6. Turn the engine over several times using the recoil starter. Oil will

be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the

cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.

7. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. See page 105.
8. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel lines,

and carburetor should be completely drained of gasoline.

9. To eliminate any fuel remaining in the carburetor, run the engine

until it stops.
