Use Polaris Fogging Oil and follow the directions on the can.
If you choose not to use P olaris F ogging Oil, perform the following
procedure.
1. Support t he front end of t he machine so the engine is level or tilted
slightly rearward.
2. Remove the spark plug. Rotate the piston to BDC and pour
approximately two ounces of the recommended oil into the
cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug.
3. Apply diele ctr ic gre ase to the inside of the spar k plug ca p and install
the ca p onto the plug.
4. With the ignition off, turn t he engine over several times using the
recoil starter. This will ensure coverage of the piston rings,
cylinder walls and crankshaft bearings.
5. Treat the fuel system with P olaris Carbon Clean.
6. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and
carburetor should be completely drained of gasoline.

Lube to the drive chain.

Remove the battery from the vehicle and ensure that it’s fully charged
before placing it in storage. See page 97 for instructions.

Set the tire pressure and safely support the ATV with the tires 1-2” off
the ground. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated, and cover the

NOTE: Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow
enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote
corrosion and oxidation.
