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 68.
Battery Maintenance

Remove the battery and recharge it as outlined on page 112. 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
materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent condensa-
tion, 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 vehi-
cle.
