Cleaning and Storage
Storage Tips
Clean the Exterior
Make necessary repairs and then clean the ATV thoroughly with mild
soap and warm water to remove all dirt and grime. Don’t use harsh
detergents or high pressure washers. Some detergents deteriorate rubber
parts. Use dish soap type cleaners only. High pressure washers may
force water past seals.
Stabilize the Fuel
Fill the fuel tank. Add Polaris Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or Polaris
Fuel Stabilizer. Follow the instructions on the container for the
recommended amount. (Carbon clean will also reduce the possibility of
bacterial growth in the fuel system.) Allow 15-20 minutes of operation
for the stabilizer to disperse through the fuel in the tank and carburetor.
Turn the fuel valve off and drain the carburetor bowl.
Oil and Filter
Warm the engine and change the oil and filter.
Air Filter / Air Box
Inspect and clean or replace the pre-cleaner and air filter. Clean the air
box and drain the sediment tube.
Breather Filter
Inspect and clean or replace the breather filter.
Fluid Levels
Inspect the following fluid levels and change if necessary: front and
rear gearcases; transmission and brake fluid (change every two years or
as required if fluid looks dark or contaminated).
Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective
film created by fogging and damage could occur. Never start the
engine during the storage period.
