INSPECT AND LUBRICATE
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart.
STORAGE AREA / COVERS
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.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
1. Charge the battery if necessary. Install it in the vehicle.
2. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
3. Check all the points listed in the Daily Pre-Ride Inspection section. Tightness
of the bolts, nuts and other fasteners should be checked by an authorized
POLARIS dealer.
4. Lubricate at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
LOADING AND UNLOADING
The weight distribution of the cargo loaded onto the trailer is important and will
have an impact on how the vehicle handles on the road. Ensure the weight of
the cargo is distributed properly and the trailer is not rear, front, or side heavy.
Always use a spotter if you are uncomfortable loading the vehicle on your own.
A wheel chock or marker can also be used as an indication of how close you will
park the vehicle from the front of the trailer.
WARNING
When loading or unloading a vehicle onto a trailer, always wear the appropriate
safety gear, including an approved helmet.
MINIMUM WORKING LOAD LIMIT
WARNING
Always secure cargo properly. Improperly securing a load can result in severe
injury or death.
Securing devices, such as tie-down straps, are manufactured to support a load
that can be applied during normal service. This is known as the Working Load
Limit (WLL).
