Storage

Exterior

Make necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See Washing the Vehicle.

Battery Storage

Remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it’s fully charged, and store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

Stabilize the Fuel

  1. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel.

  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 entire fuel delivery system.

Fog the Engine

  1. 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 plug and add 2-3 tablespoons of engine oil. To access the plug hole, use a section of clear 1/4” hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil.

  3. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification. See Spark Plugs.

  4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap. Do not reinstall the cap onto the plug at this step.

  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.

  7. Reinstall the spark plug cap to the spark plug.

Engine Oil

Change the oil. See Oil Change.

Air Filter / Air Box

Inspect and clean (or replace) the pre-cleaner and air filter. Clean the air box. Drain the sediment tube.

Fluid Levels

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

  • Transmission Oil

  • Engine Oil

Lubricate

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

Storage Area / Covers

  1. Make sure tire pressure is at specification.

  2. Using suitable supports under the frame, raise the vehicle slightly so that the tires are not touching the ground.

  3. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated.

  4. Cover the vehicle with an appropriate cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
