Cleaning and Storage

Storage Tips

Fluid Levels

Inspect the fluid levels. Change fluids as recommended in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 52.
• Rear gearcase
• Transmission
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark

or contaminated)

Fog the Engine

Use Polaris Engine Fogging Oil. Follow label directions carefully.

Inspect and Lubricate

Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 52.

Battery Storage

See pages 78-79 for storage and charging procedures.

Storage Area/Covers

Set the tire pressure and safely support the ATV 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.
