Cleaning and Storage Storage Tips MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 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. To access the plug holes, use a section of clear 1/4" hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the pre-measured amount of oil. NOTE: Do this carefully! If you miss the plug holes, oil will drain from the spark plug cavities into the hole at the front of the cylinder head, and appear 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 reinstall the caps onto the plugs. 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. 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 Season Grease. 101
