Storage Tips
Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean, following the
instructions on the can. Run the engine for several minutes so the
Carbon Clean reaches t he injectors. T urn the engine off.
2. Re move the spa rk plugs and add 2- 3 tablespoons of Premium 4
Synthetic 0W40 engine oil. T o acces s 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 c arefully! If you miss the plug holes, o il will drain from
the spark plug cavities into the hole at the front of the c ylinder
head, and appear to be an oil l eak.
3. Re install t he spark plugs. Torque to spec ifica tion. See page 70.
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap and
reinsta ll t he caps onto the plugs.
5. Turn the e ngine over s e ver al times. Oil will be f orc e d in and around
the piston rings a nd ring la nds, coa ting the cy linder with a prote c tive
film of fr e sh oil.
6. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and
injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
