MAINTENANCE

Extended Storage

Bearings

Grease the drive shaft clutch side bearing with Polaris Premium All-

Season Grease or a similar high quality grease to prevent corrosion.

Clutch and Drive System

Remove the drive belt and store in a cool dry location. Do not lubricate

clutch components, except the driven clutch shaft bushing as outlined in

the Master Repair Manual. See your dealer.

Engine Protection

Proper preparation of the engine and fuel system is vital to the preven-

tion of rust and corrosion on precision engine parts during storage.

Whenever the machine is stored for a period of more than 60 days, the

engine must be fogged with fogging oil. Follow the engine fogging

instructions provided on the container.

Always add Premium Carbon Clean or a fuel conditioner/stabilizer to

the fuel tank. Follow the instructions on the container, running the

engine for five minutes to get additives through the entire fuel system.

Top off with fresh fuel. Do not allow the snowmobile to run out of fuel.
