POLISHING THE VEHICLE

POLARIS recommends the use of common household aerosol furniture polish
for polishing the finish on your POLARIS vehicle. Follow the instructions on the
container.

POLISHING TIPS

• Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch the finish of

your vehicle.

• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or reused

cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.

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 the
Washing the Vehicle section for details.

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 entire fuel delivery system.

OIL AND FILTER

Change the oil and filter. See page 118.

AIR FILTER / AIR BOX

Replace the air filter. See page 137. Clean the air box.

FLUID LEVELS

Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 90.
