MAINTENANCE Extended Storage 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. Clutch and Drive System Remove the drive belt and store in a cool dry location. To prevent oxidation on the clutch sheaves, lubricate the sheave faces of the drive and driven clutches with a light coat of oil or POLARIS Cable Lubricant. TIP: After storage, always use acetone or alcohol to remove the oil before reinstalling the drive belt. 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 Proper preparation of the engine and fuel system is vital to the prevention of rust and corrosion on precision engine parts during storage. Whenever the machine is stored for a period of more than 60 days, the engine must be fogged with fogging oil. Follow the engine fogging instructions provided on the container. Always add Premium Carbon Clean or a fuel conditioner/stabilizer to the fuel tank. Follow the instructions on the container, running the engine for five minutes to get additives through the entire fuel system. Top off with fresh premixed fuel. If stabilizer is not used, drain the carburetors by removing the water trap drain plugs. See page 71. TIP: Jet restriction caused by improper storage can cause lean conditions and very poor slow speed driving quality. 96
