Cleaning and Storage
Storage Tips
CAUTION
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 necessary repairs and then clean the ATV thoroughly with mild
soap and warm water to remove all dirt and grime. Don’t use harsh
detergents or high pressure washers. Some detergents deteriorate rubber
parts. Use dish soap type cleaners only. High pressure washers may
force water past seals.
Stabilize the Fuel
1. Add Polaris Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or Polaris Fuel
Stabilizer to both tanks. Follow the instructions on the container for
the recommended amount.
NOTE: Carbon Clean will also reduce the possibility of bacterial growth
in the fuel system.
2. Fill the fuel tanks.
3. Operate the engine for 15-20 minutes to disperse the stabilizer
through the fuel in the tank and carburetor.
4. Switch tanks and operate for an additional 5-10 minutes.
5. Turn the fuel valve off.
6. Drain the carburetor bowl.
Air Filter / Air Box
Inspect and clean or replace the pre-cleaner and air filter. Clean the air
box and drain the sediment tube.
Breather Filter
Inspect and clean or replace the breather filter.
