Adding Fuel Stabilizer
A hot engine or exhaust system can cause severe
burns and ignite flammable material. Ensure
adequate time for cooling before storage or
transportation.
NOTE: This procedure applies if keeping gasoline in
fuel tank during storage. Drain the carburetor bowl
prior to any storage period longer than 30 days.
1. Access the fuel tank (see “Accessing the Fuel Tank”).
2. Add a suitable fuel stabilizer.
Draining Fuel from the Fuel Tank and
Carburetor
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive and can
cause serious injury. Stop the engine and keep heat,
sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Do not spill fuel when draining the fuel tank. Spilled
fuel is a fire hazard, causes environmental damage,
and can cause damage to paint and plastic. Wipe up
spills immediately.
NOTE: This procedure applies if fuel will NOT be
kept in the fuel tank during storage or before
transportation.
1. Access the fuel tank (see “Accessing the Fuel Tank”).
2. Empty the fuel tank into an approved gasoline
container. Polaris recommends using a commercially
available gasoline hand pump to empty the tank. Do
not use an electric pump.
3. Re-install the fuel tank strainer into the fuel tank.
4. Securely tighten fuel tank cap until it clicks.
5. Open the maintenance cover (see “Maintenance,
