Cleaning and Storage Storage Tips MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION Fog the Engine 1. Remove the spark plug and add 2-3 tablespoons of Premium 4 Synthetic 0W40 engine oil. To access the plug hole, 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 hole, oil will drain from the spark plug cavity into the hole at the front of the cylinder head, and appear to be an oil leak. 2. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to 18 ft. lbs. (24 Nm). 3. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap and install the cap onto the plug. 4. 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. Alternative to Using Fogging Oil If you choose not to use Polaris Fogging Oil, perform the following procedure. 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 carburetor. Turn the engine off. 2. Support the front end of the machine so the engine is level or tilted slightly rearward. 3. Remove the spark plug. Rotate the piston to BDC and pour approximately two ounces of recommended oil into the cylinder. 4. Reinstall the spark plug and torque to 18 ft. lbs. (24 Nm). 5. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap and install the cap onto the plug. 6. Turn the engine over several times to ensure coverage of piston rings, cylinder walls and crankshaft bearings. 7. If Polaris fuel system additive is not used, fuel tank, fuel lines, and carburetor should be completely drained of gasoline. To eliminate any fuel remaining in the carburetor, run the engine until it stops. 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. 109
