Storage Tips
Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean, following the
instructions on the can. Run the engine for several minutes so the
Carbon Clean reaches the injectors. Turn the engine off.
2. Remove the spark plugs and add 2-3 tablespoons of Premium 4
Synthetic 0W40 engine oil. T o access the plug holes, use a section of
clear 1/4” hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the
pre -me asur ed amount of oil. NO TE: Do this ca re f ully! If you miss
the plug holes, oil will drain from the spark plug cav ities into the hole
at the front of the cylinde r head, and appea r to be an oil leak.
3. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to 18 ft. lbs. (24 Nm).
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap and
re install the caps onto the plugs.
5. Turn the engine over seve ra l times. Oil will be forc ed in and around
the piston rings and ring lands, coa ting the cylinder with a prote ctive
film of fre sh oil.
6. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and
injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.
Inspect and Lubricate
Inspect all cables and lubricate. Follow lubrication guidelines in the
Maintenance Section of the service or owner ’s manual to completely
grease and lubricate the entire vehicle with Polaris Premium All
