MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped)

Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion, 

preserve wheel life and ensure a "like new" appearance for many years. 

Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal areas) 

are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned. Clean chrome 

wheels more often if they're exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.
1. Wash chrome wheels frequently. Use a mild detergent. Never use 

abrasive cleaners on plated or painted surfaces.

2. Rinse well with clear water. Soap, detergents, salt, dirt, mud and 

other elements can cause corrosion. 

3. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive 

grade chrome polish.

4. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each 

polished chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome 

finishes. Read and follow the product labels and instructions.

Removing Corrosion
If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT 

grade) to remove it. Gently rub the affected areas with the steel wool 

until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as 

outlined above.

Storage Tips

NOTICE: Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the 

protective film created by fogging and damage could occur. Never 

start the engine during the storage period.

Clean the Exterior
Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See 

page 133.

Stabilize the Fuel
1. Fill the fuel tank.
2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean fuel treatment or POLARIS Fuel 

Stabilizer. Follow the instructions on the container for the 

recommended amount. Carbon Clean removes water from fuel 

systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons, 

rings, valves and exhaust systems.

3. Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to 

disperse through the entire fuel delivery system.

Oil and Filter
Change the oil and filter. See page 92.

Air Filter / Air Box
1. Inspect and clean (or replace) the pre-cleaner and air filter. See page 

113.

2. Clean the air box.
3. Clean or replace the breather filter. See page 114.
4. Drain the sediment tube.

Storage Tips

Fluid Levels
Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the 

Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 85.
• Demand drive unit (front gearcase)
• Rear gearcase
• Transmission
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark 

or contaminated)

• Coolant (test strength/fill)

Fog the Engine
1. Treat the fuel system with POLARIS Carbon Clean. See page 136.
2. Remove the spark plug. Pour 30-45 ml of engine oil into the plug 

holes.

3. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to specification. 
4. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of each spark plug cap. 

Reinstall the caps. 

5. Turn the engine over several times using electric start. Oil will be 

forced in and around the piston rings and ring lands, coating the 

cylinder with a protective film of fresh oil.

6. If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel 

lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline.

Cleaning and Storage

Storage Tips

Inspect and Lubricate
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended 

in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 85.

Battery Storage
See pages 130-131 for storage and charging procedures.

Storage Area/Covers
1. Set the tire pressure and safely support the vehicle with the tires 

slightly off the ground. 

2. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. 
3. 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.

Accessories

Auxiliary power outlets provide 12-volt power for operating 

accessories. Accessory outlets are available for all models. POLARIS 

also has a wide range of additional accessories available for your 

vehicle. Always install accessories that are approved for Tractor use. 

Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
