MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

Storage Tips

Inspect and Lubricate
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended

in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 62.
Battery Maintenance
Remove the battery and recharge it as outlined on page 106. Store the

battery in a cool, dry place.
Storage Area/Covers
Set the tire pressure and safely support the vehicle with the tires slightly

off the ground. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover the

vehicle with a genuine Polaris cover. Do not use plastic or coated mate-

rials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and

may promote corrosion and oxidation.

Accessories

Auxiliary power outlets provide 12-volt power for operating accesso-

ries. Accessory outlets are available for all models. Polaris also has a

wide range of additional accessories available for your vehicle. Always

install accessories that are approved by Polaris for use on this vehicle.
