Cleaning and Storage

Storage Tips

Clean the Exterior
Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See

page 102.
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.

NOTE:

Carbon Clean removes water from fuel systems, stabilizes fuel and

removes carbon deposits from pistons, rings, valves and exhaust sys-

tems.

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 67.
Air Filter / Air Box
Inspect and clean or replace the pre-cleaner and air filter. See page 83.

Clean the air box. Drain the sediment tube.
Fluid Levels
Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the

Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 58.
• Front and rear gearcase fluid
• Transmission fluid
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark

or contaminated)

• Coolant (test strength/fill)
Inspect and Lubricate
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended

in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 58.

CAUTION

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.
