Engine and Carburetor Protection

Using a fuel stabilizer and topping off the fuel tank eliminates the need 
to drain the fuel system. If you prefer to drain the fuel tank, use the 
following procedure

1. Transfer unused fuel from the fuel tank to an approved fuel 

container using a siphon pump. Do not re-use fuel after storage.

2. Securely support the front of the snowmobile with a jack stand so 

the machine is elevated and the engine is tilted rearward. 

3. Remove the spark plug(s).

4. Rotate the engine slowly, watching the piston until it's at bottom 

dead center (BDC), the lowest position in the cylinder. On twin 
cylinder models, the opposite piston will be up.

5. Pour approximately two ounces of POLARIS injector oil into the 

spark plug hole.

6. Wait one to two minutes and perform steps 3-5 on remaining 

cylinders.

7. Replace the spark plugs and lower the machine to the floor.

Electrical Connections

Separate electrical connector blocks and clean corrosive build-up from 
connectors. Lubricate or pack connector blocks with dielectric grease 
and re-connect.

Replace worn or frayed electrical wire and connectors. Be sure wiring 
harness is properly secured away from sharp edges, steering linkage, 
moving parts, and hot exhaust parts.

Track and Suspension

Moderate track tension should be main-
tained during summer storage. The 
machine should be supported off the 
ground to allow the track to hang freely.

Transporting the Snowmobile

Whenever the snowmobile is transported:

1. Turn the fuel valve 

clockwise to OFF to shut 
off the fuel supply. Turn the 
valve counter-clockwise to 
ON to turn the fuel supply 
on. The fuel valve is 
located under the hood.

2. Be sure the fuel cap is 

securely installed.

3. Tie the snowmobile to the 

transporting unit securely 
using suitable straps.
