Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 65.
• Demand drive unit (front gearcase)

• Rear gearcase (if equipped)
• Transmission
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark
or contaminated)
• Coolant (test strength/fill)
Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. See page 120.
2. Remove the spark plug. Pour 30-45 ml of engine oil into the plug
holes.
3. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification.
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap. Rein-
stall the caps.
5. Turn the engine over several times (using the recoil starter, if
equipped). Oil will be forced in and around the piston rings and ring
lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.
6. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel lines,
and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
