Washing the Vehicle
Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only improve its appear-
ance but it can also extend the life of various components.
The best and safest way to clean your POLARIS vehicle is with a gar-
den hose and a pail of mild soap and water.
1. Use a professional-type washing cloth, cleaning the upper body first
and the lower parts last.
2. Rinse with clean water frequently.
3. Dry surfaces with a chamois to prevent water spots.
Washing Tips
• Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can scratch the finish.
• Do not use a power washer to clean the vehicle.
NOTE: If a high pressure car wash is used (not recommended), grease all
zerk fittings immediately after washing. Remove the spindle shafts and
lubricate the bushings on the top and bottom of the trailing arm. Also
run the vehicle to evaporate any water that might have entered the
engine or exhaust system.
• Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish.
• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or
reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the
finish.
• If any decal becomes illegible or comes off, contact your POLARIS
dealer to purchase a replacement. Replacement safety decals are pro-
vided by POLARIS at no charge
Waxing the Vehicle
Your snowmobile can be waxed with any high quality brand of automo-
tive paste wax. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners since they can scratch
the body finish.
CAUTION
High water pressure may damage components. POLARIS recommends
washing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, using mild soap.
