MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

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 then clean the vehicle as recommended.
See page 109.

Stabilize the Fuel

1. Fill the fuel tank.

2. Add Polaris Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or Polaris Fuel Stabilizer.

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 73.

Air Filter / Air Box

1. Inspect and clean (or replace) the pre-cleaner and air filter.

2. Clean the air box.

3. Drain the sediment tube.
