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 Washing the Vehicle.

Stabilize the Fuel

  1. Fill the fuel tank.

  2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean fuel treatment or POLARIS Fuel Stabilizer or equivalent fuel treatments or stabilizers. 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 fuel in the tank and carburetor.

  4. Stop the engine.

  5. Turn the fuel valve off.

  6. Drain the carburetor bowl.

Oil and Filter

Change the oil and filter. See Oil and Filter Change.

Air Filter / Air Box

  1. Inspect and clean (or replace) the pre-cleaner and air filter.

  2. Clean the air box.

  3. Drain the sediment tube.

Fluid Levels

Inspect the fluid levels. Change fluids as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on Periodic Maintenance Chart.

  • Rear gearcase

  • Transmission

  • Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark or contaminated)

Fog the Engine

Use POLARIS Engine Fogging Oil. Follow label directions carefully.

Inspect and Lubricate

Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on Periodic Maintenance Chart.

Battery Storage

See Battery Storage for storage and charging procedures.

Storage Area / Covers

Set the tire pressure and safely support the ATV with the tires slightly off the ground. 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.
