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. 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
prevention 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. See page 62.
If stabilizer is not used, drain the carburetors by removing the water
trap drain plugs. See page 83.
NOTE: Jet restriction caused by improper storage can cause l ean
conditions and very poor slow speed driving quality.
