Lubricate all bushings and cables at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Table beginning on page 76.
Bearings
Grease the jackshaft and drive shaft clutch side bearings with POLARIS
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 service 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 snowmobile 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 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.
