MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Cleaning and Storage

Storage Tips

If your vehicle will be placed in extended or off season storage,

perform all necessary repairs and thoroughly clean the vehicle. Drain

the recoil housing. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.

See the battery section beginning on page 102.
Fluid Levels
Inspect the following fluid levels and change if necessary: front

gearcase; transmission; front hubs; brake fluid (change every two years

or as required if fluid looks dark or contaminated).
Engine
1. Support the front end of the machine so the engine is level or tilted

slightly rearward.

2. Remove the spark plug, rotate the piston to BDC and pour

approximately two ounces of Premium 4 Synthetic 4-cycle oil into

the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug.

3. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap and install

the cap onto the plug.

4. Turn the engine over several times, using the recoil starter, to

ensure coverage of piston rings, cylinder walls and crankshaft

bearings.

5. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean.
6. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel lines,

and carburetor should be completely drained of gasoline.
