MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
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.
1. Wash chrome rims frequently. Use a mild detergent to remove any
salt, dirt, mud or grime. Never use abrasive cleaners on plated or
painted surfaces.
2. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive
grade chrome polish.
3. 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.
4. 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.
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.
Transporting the ATV
Follow these procedures when
transporting the vehicle.
1. Turn off the engine and remove
the key to prevent loss during
transporting.
2. Place the transmission in PARK
and lock the parking brake.
3. Turn the fuel valve off and be
sure the fuel cap, oil cap and
seat are installed securely.
4. Always tie the frame of the
ATV to the transporting unit
securely with suitable straps or
rope. Do not attach tie straps to
the front A-arm bolt pockets.
