Engine 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 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 fuel. Do not allow the snowmobile to run out of fuel.

Using a fuel stabilizer and topping off the fuel tank eliminates the need to drain the fuel system. If you prefer to drain the fuel tank, use the following procedure:

  1. Transfer unused fuel from the fuel tank to an approved fuel container using a siphon pump. Do not re-use fuel after storage.

  2. Securely support the front of the snowmobile with a jack stand so the machine is elevated and the engine is tilted rearward.

  3. Remove the spark plug(s).

  4. Rotate the engine slowly, watching the piston until it’s at bottom dead center (BDC), the lowest position in the cylinder. On twin cylinder models, the opposite piston will be up.

  5. Pour approximately two ounces of POLARIS injector oil into the spark plug hole.

  6. Wait one to two minutes and perform steps 3–5 on remaining cylinders.

  7. Replace the spark plugs and lower the machine to the floor.
