MAINTENANCE
Extended Storage
Bearings
Grease the jackshaft and drive shaft clutch side bearings 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. Lubricate the
sheave faces of the drive and driven clutches with a light coat of oil or
Polaris Cable Lubricant.
Do not lubricate clutch components, except the driven clutch shaft bush-
ing as outlined in the Master Repair Manual. See your dealer.
Engine and Carburetor 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.
If stabilizer is not used, drain the carburetors by removing the water trap
drain plugs. See page 87.
NOTE: Jet restriction caused by improper storage can cause lean con-
ditions and very poor slow speed driving quality.
