Storage Tips
Inspect and Lubricate
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 62.
Battery Storage
See pages 100-103 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.
NOTE: Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow
enough ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote
corrosion and oxidation.
Transporting the ATV
Follow these procedures when
transporting the vehicle.
1. Turn off the engine and
remove the key to prevent loss
during transporting.
2. Turn the fuel valve off.
3. Be sure the fuel cap, oil cap
and seat are installed correctly.
4. Always tie the frame of the
ATV to the transporting unit
securely using suitable straps
or rope. See illustration.
5. Always place the transmission
in gear and lock the parking
brake.
