Watercraft Engine Fogging Procedure
Important: Failure to perform the following preventive m aintenance
can result in serious engine corrosion during off season or extended
storage. In order to prevent rust and corrosion on internal engine parts
(i.e. crankshaft, bearings, pistons, rings, cylinder walls). Polaris highly
recommends the use of Polaris fogging oil (PN 2870791) as a
recommended storage procedure.
The fogging oil coats all internal parts for prevention of rust and
corrosion, which in turn will extend the life of the engine.
1. Remove the bolt(s) securing the air intake cover and remove the
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 intake covers.
Never operate the engine for more than 15 seconds while the
watercraft is out of the water. The engine may overheat and seize.
