4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap. Do not reinstall
the caps onto the plugs at this step.
5. Turn the engine over several times. Oil will be forced in and around the
piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective film of fresh
oil.
6. Reinstall the spark plug caps to the spark plugs.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
See Battery section for storage and charging procedures.
FUSE BOX
Remove the fuse box cover during storage.
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.
2. Make sure the spark plug is tight. Reinstall the fuse box cover if it was
removed for storage.
3. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
4. 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 or other qualified service facility.
5. Lubricate at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section.
TRAILERING SAFETY
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.
Improperly trailering or attempting to tow this vehicle can result in serious injury
or death. Improper transportation can also cause vehicle damage, which may
involve parts flying off and creating road hazards for other motorists.
Face the vehicle forward.
When using a non-enclosed trailer, face the vehicle forward or remove the roof.
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.
