Storage Tips
See page 119 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
CAUTION
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.
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 t ank. Add Polaris Carbon Cl ean Fuel Treatment or Polaris
Fuel Stabilizer. Follow the instructions on the container for the
recomme nded amount. (Carbon clea n 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.
T urn the fuel valve off and drain the carburetor bowl.
Oil and Filter
Warm the engine and change the oil and filter.
Air Filt er / Air Box
Inspe ct and clean or replace the pre-clea ner and air filter. Clean the air
box and drain the sediment tube.
Breathe r Filter
Inspect and clean or replace the breather filter.
Fluid Levels
Inspect the following fluid l evels and change if necessary: front
gearcase; transmission; brake fluid (change every two years or as
required if fluid looks dark or contaminated).
Drain the Recoil Housing
