MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Cleaning and Storage
Storage Tips
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.
Clean the Exterior
Make necessary repairs and then clean the vehicle thoroughly with
mild soap and warm water to remove all dirt and grime. Don’t use
harsh detergents or high pressure washers. Some detergents deteriorate
rubber parts. Use dish soap type cleaners only. High pressure washers
may force water past seals.
Stabilize the Fuel
Fill the fuel tank. Add Polaris Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or Polaris
Fuel Stabilizer. Follow the instructions on the container for the
recommended amount. (Carbon clean will also reduce the possibility of
bacterial growth in the fuel system.) Allow 15-20 minutes of operation
for the stabilizer to disperse through the fuel in the tank.
Oil and Filter
Warm the engine and change the oil and filter.
Air Filter / Air Box / Breather Filter
Inspect and clean or replace the pre-cleaner and air filter. Clean the air
box and drain the sediment tube.
Fluid Levels
Inspect the following fluid levels and change if necessary: front and
rear gearcases; transmission and brake fluid (change every two years or
as required if fluid looks dark or contaminated).
Inspect and Lubricate
Inspect all cables and lubricate. Follow lubrication guidelines in the
Maintenance Section of the service or owner’s manual to completely
grease and lubricate the entire vehicle with Polaris Premium All
Season Grease.
