Oil will be forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil. 5. Treat the fuel system with POLARIS Carbon Clean. See page 97. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and carburetor should be completely drained of gasoline. 6. To eliminate any fuel remaining in the carburetor, run the engine until it stops. 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. 98
