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.
NOTICE: Water in the PVT system
could cause the drive belt
to become wet and slip in
the clutches. Always avoid
spraying water directly
toward any intake pre-
filters.
High water pressure may
damage components.
POLARIS recommends
washing the vehicle by
hand or with a garden hose,
using mild soap.
Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will
damage plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to
contact the vehicle.
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.
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.
