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. Stop the engine. 2. Remove the spark plugs and add 2-3 tablespoons of 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. 3. Reinstall the spark plugs. Torque to specification. 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.

If POLARIS fuel system additive is not used, the fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors should be completely drained of gasoline. 109
