Storage Tips
Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris C arbon Clean, following the
instructions on the can. Run the engine for several minutes so the
Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. T urn the engine off.
2. Re move the spark plugs and add 2-3 ta blespoons of Premium 4
Synthetic 0W40 engine oil. T o access the plug holes, use a section of
clear 1/4” hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the
pre- mea sure d amount of oil.
NOTE: Do this carefully! If you miss the plug holes, oil will drain from
the spark plug cavities into the hole at the front of the cylinder
head, and appear to be an oil leak.
3. Re install the spark plugs. Torque to 18 f t. lbs. (24 Nm).
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap and
reinsta ll the caps onto the plugs.
5. Turn the engine over seve ra l times. Oil will be forc e d in and around
the piston rings and ring lands, coa ting the cylinder with a prote c tive
film of fresh oil.
6. If Polaris fuel system additive i s not used, fuel t ank, fuel lines, and
injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
Inspect and Lubricate
Inspect all cables and lubricate. Follow lubrication guidelines in the
Maintenance Section of the service or owner’s manual to completely
grease and lubricate the entire vehicle with Polaris Premium All
Season Grease.
Battery Maintenance
Remove the battery and recharge it as outlined on page 95. Store the
battery in a cool, dry place.
Engine Anti-Freeze
Test engine coolant strength and change if necessary. Coolant should
be replaced every two years.
Storage Area/Covers
Set the tire pressure and safely support the ATV with the tires 1-2” off
the ground. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated, and cover the
mac hine with a genuine Polar is ATV c ove r.

enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote
corrosion and oxidation.
