MAINTENANCE
Storage Tips
Cleaning - Outside
...Make necessary repairs and then clean the
ATV thoroughly with a mild soap and warm water solution to re-
move all dirt and grime. Don’t use harsh detergents or high pres-
sure washers. Some detergents deterio rate rubber parts-use dish
soap type cleaners only. High pressure washers may force water
past seals. Drain the recoil housing.
Stabilize Fuel - Fill the fuel tank. Add Polaris Carbon Clean Fuel
Treatment or Polaris Fuel Stabilizer. Follow instruct ions o n the con-
tainer for rec omm ended amount. Car bon cl ean will also reduce the
possibility of bacterial growth in the fuel system. It’s best to allow
15-20 mi nutes of operation for the stabilizer to disperse through the
fuel in the tank and carbur etor. Turn the fuel valv e to “OF F” and drai n
the carbur etor bowl com pletely.
Oil And Filter Change - (4-Strokes) Warm the engine and change
oil and filter.
Air Filter / Air Box - Inspect and cl ean or replac e the pr e-cleaner and
air fil ter. Cl ean the air box and drain the sedim ent tube.
Breather Filter(s) - On 4-Strokes, inspect and clean or replace the
breather filter(s).
Inspect All Fluid Levels - Inspect the following fluid levels and
change if necessary: engine counter balance (2-strokes); front
gear case (shaft drive models); transmission; front hubs (AWD
models); brake fluid (change every two years or as required if fluid
looks dark or contaminated).
Drain Recoil Housing - Remove drain plug from recoil housing
and drain any moisture present.
