Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. Follow the instructions on the container. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for several minutes so the Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. Stop the engine. 2. Remove the spark plugs and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To access the plug holes, use a section of clear 1/4" hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil. NOTE: Do this carefully! If you miss the plug holes, oil will drain from the spark plug cavities into the hole at the front of the cylinder head, and appear to be an oil leak. 3. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification. See page 77. 4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap and reinstall the caps onto the plugs. 5. Turn the engine over several times. Oil will be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil. 6. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline. Storage Area/Covers Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover the vehicle with a genuine Polaris cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation. 108

Fluid Levels
Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 62.

Transmission fluid
•
Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark

Fog the Engine
1.
Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. Follow the instruc-
tions on the container. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for several
minutes so the Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. Stop the engine.
2.
Remove the spark plugs and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To
access the plug holes, use a section of clear 1/4" hose and a small
plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil.
NOTE:
Do this carefully! If you miss the plug holes, oil will drain from the spark
plug cavities into the hole at the front of the cylinder head, and appear
to be an oil leak.
3.
Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification. See page 77.
4.
Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap and rein-
stall the caps onto the plugs.
5.
Turn the engine over several times. Oil will be forced in and around
the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protec-
tive film of fresh oil.
6.
If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and
injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
Storage Area/Covers
Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover the vehicle with a gen-
uine Polaris cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not
allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote
corrosion and oxidation.
