Watercraft Engine Fogging Procedure
Polaris recommends the use of Polaris fogging oil t o prevent rust and
corrosion on internal engine parts (i.e. crankshaft, bearings, pistons,
rings, cylinder walls). The fogging oil coats all internal parts for
prevention of rust and corrosion, which in turn will extend the life of
the engine. R efer to page 103 for part numbers of P olaris-recommended
products.
1. Remove the bolt(s) securing the air intake cover.
2. Remove intake cover and air filter element.
3. Start the engine and spray Polaris fogging oil into each carburetor
throat to ensure that all internal parts are properly coated. Spray
fogging oil for two to three seconds in each intake throat and repeat
until the engine is flooded with fogging oil. Then stop the engine
immediately.
4. Reinstall filter element(s) and air i ntake covers.
Failure to fog the engine can result in serious engine corrosion
during off season or extended storage. Always fog the engine as
outlined before storing the watercraft for extended periods.
CAUTION
Operating the engine while the watercraft is out of the water will
cause the engine to overheat and seize. Never operate the engine
for more than 15 seconds while the watercraft is out of the water.
CAUTION
