MAINTENANCE Cleaning and Storage Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped) Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion, preserve wheel life and ensure a "like new" appearance for many years. Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal areas) are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned. Clean chrome wheels more often if they're exposed to salt or other corrosive elements. 1. Wash chrome wheels frequently. Use a mild detergent. Never use abrasive cleaners on plated or painted surfaces. 2. Rinse well with clear water. Soap, detergents, salt, dirt, mud and other elements can cause corrosion. 3. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive grade chrome polish. 4. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each polished chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome finishes. Read and follow the product labels and instructions. Removing Corrosion If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT grade) to remove it. Gently rub the affected areas with the steel wool until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as outlined above. Storage Tips NOTICE: Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective film created by fogging and damage could occur. Never start the engine during the storage period. Clean the Exterior Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See page 86. Stabilize the Fuel 1. Fill the fuel tank. 2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel Stabilizer. Follow the instructions on the container for the recommended amount. Carbon Clean removes water from fuel systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons, rings, valves and exhaust systems. 3. Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to disperse through the entire fuel delivery system. Oil and Filter Change the oil and filter. See page 62. Air Filter / Air Box 1. Inspect and clean or replace the pre-cleaner and air filter. See page 74. 2. Clean the air box. 87

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Storage
Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped)
Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion, preserve wheel life and
ensure a “like new” appearance for many years. Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt
in the air in coastal areas) are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned. Clean
chrome wheels more often if they're exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.
1.
Wash chrome wheels frequently. Use a mild detergent. Never use abrasive cleaners on
plated or painted surfaces.
2.
Rinse well with clear water. Soap, detergents, salt, dirt, mud and other elements can
cause corrosion.
3.
Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive grade chrome polish.
4.
Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each polished chrome wheel.
Choose a product suitable for chrome finishes. Read and follow the product labels and
instructions.
Removing Corrosion
If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT grade) to remove it.
Gently rub the affected areas with the steel wool until the corrosion has been removed. Clean
and polish the wheel as outlined above.
Storage Tips

Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective film created by
fogging and damage could occur. Never start the engine during the storage period.
Clean the Exterior

Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel Stabilizer. Follow the
instructions on the container for the recommended amount. Carbon Clean removes water
from fuel systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons, rings,
valves and exhaust systems.

Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to disperse through the
entire fuel delivery system.
