Snowmobile Polaris 600R Racer (2017 year). Manual - part 20

CONTROLS AND LINKAGE

Lubricate all bushings, tie rod ends, and cables as outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Table.

BATTERY STORAGE

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more, remove
the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the
sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storage and
recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

TIP

Battery charge can be maintained by using a POLARIS Battery Tender

charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self-

discharge. Battery Tender

can be left connected during the storage period,

and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-

determined point.

CLUTCH AND DRIVE SYSTEM

Remove the drive belt and store in a cool dry location. Do not lubricate clutch
components, except the driven clutch shaft bushing as outlined in the Master
Repair Manual. Your dealer can perform this service.

ENGINE AND CARBURETOR PROTECTION

Proper preparation of the engine and fuel system is vital to the prevention of rust
and corrosion on precision engine parts during storage. Whenever the machine
is stored for a period of more than 60 days, the engine must be fogged with
fogging oil. Follow the engine fogging instructions provided on the container.

Always add Carbon Clean or a fuel condidioner/stabilizer to the fuel tank. Follow
the instructions on the container, running the engine for five minutes to get
additives through the entire fuel system. Top off with fresh premixed fuel.

TIP

Jet restriction caused by improper storage can cause lean conditions and very

poor slow speed driving quality.

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).

MAINTENANCE

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.

ENGINE PROTECTION

Proper preparation of the engine and fuel system is vital to the prevention of rust
and corrosion on precision engine parts during storage. Whenever the
snowmobile is stored for a period of more than 60 days, the engine must be
fogged with fogging oil. Follow the engine fogging instructions provided on the
container.

Always add Carbon Clean or a fuel conditioner/stabilizer to the fuel tank. Follow
the instructions on the container, running the engine for five minutes to get
additives through the entire fuel system. Top off with fresh fuel. Do not allow the
snowmobile to run out of fuel.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

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 maintained during summer storage. The
snowmobile should be supported off the ground to allow the track to hang freely.

TRANSPORTING THE SNOWMOBILE

Whenever the snowmobile is transported:

1. Be sure the fuel cap and oil cap are installed correctly.

2. Tie the snowmobile to the transporting unit securely using suitable straps.

3. Remove the ignition key to prevent loss.

NOTE

Use of a cover is recommended when transporting your vehicle on an open

trailer or sled deck.
