Extended Storage
Off-season or extended storage of your snowmobile requires preventive
measures to aid against deterioration and to prolong the useful life of
many components. See page 117 for the part numbers of P olaris
products.
Cleaning and Preservation

chassis, and plastic parts. Wipe down remaining surfaces with a damp
cloth. C lean and touch up with paint any rusted or previously painted
surfaces. Be sure that corrosive salt and acids are removed from
surfaces before beginning preservation with waxes and rust inhibitors
(grease, oil or paint).
The machine should be stored in a dry garage or shed, out of direct
sunlight, and covered with a fabric snowmobile cover. Plastic tarp may
cause condensation to form and damage snowmobile components.
