MAINTENANCE

Extended Storage

Engine and Carburetor Protection

Using a fuel stabilizer and topping off the fuel tank eliminates the need

to drain the fuel system. If you prefer to drain the fuel tank, use the

following procedure:
1. Transfer unused fuel from the fuel tank to an approved fuel container

using a siphon pump. Do not re-use fuel after storage.

2. Securely support the front of the snowmobile with a jack stand so the

machine is elevated and the engine is tilted rearward.

3. Remove the spark plug(s).
4. Rotate the engine slowly, watching the piston until it’s at bottom dead

center (BDC), the lowest position in the cylinder. On twin cylinder

models, the opposite piston will be up.

5. Pour approximately two ounces of Polaris injector oil into the spark

plug hole.

6. Wait one to two minutes and perform steps 3 to 5 on remaining

cylinders.

7. Replace the spark plugs and lower the machine to the floor.

Electrical Connections

Separate electrical connector blocks and clean corrosive build-up from

connectors. Lubricate or pack connector blocks with dielectric grease

and re-connect. See page 112 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
Replace worn or frayed electrical wire and connectors. Be sure wiring

harness is properly secured away from sharp edges, steering linkage,

moving parts, and hot exhaust parts.
