Extended Storage Controls and Linkage MAINTENANCE All bushings, spindle shafts, tie rod ends, and cables should receive a light coat of oil or grease. Bearings Grease the jackshaft and drive shaft clutch side bearings with Polaris Premium All-Season Grease or a similar high quality grease to prevent corrosion. See page 110 for part numbers. Clutch and Drive System Remove the drive belt and store in a cool dry location. Lubricate the sheave faces of the drive and driven clutches with a light coat of oil or Polaris Cable Lubricant. See page 110 for part numbers. Do not lubricate clutch components, except the driven clutch shaft bushing as outlined in the Master Repair Manual. See your dealer. Engine and Carburetor Protection Using a fuel stabilizer and topping off the fuel tank eliminates the need to drain the fuel system. If you prefer to drain the fuel tank, use the following procedure: 1. Transfer unused fuel from the fuel tank to an approved fuel container using a siphon pump. Do not re-use fuel after storage. 2. Securely support the front of the snowmobile with a jack stand so the machine is elevated and the engine is tilted rearward. 3. Remove the spark plug(s). 4. Rotate the engine slowly, watching the piston until it's at bottom dead center (BDC), the lowest position in the cylinder. On twin cylinder models, the opposite piston will be up. 5. Pour approximately two ounces of Polaris injector oil into the spark plug hole. 6. Wait one to two minutes and perform steps 3 to 5 on remaining cylinders. 7. Replace the spark plugs and lower the machine to the floor. 105
