See page 173 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
Cleaning the ATV
Keeping your ATV clean will not only improve its appearance but it can also extend the life
of various components.
Washing the ATV
CAUTION
Do not use a high pressure washer for washing the ATV. Serious damage will result
to wheel bearings, chains, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and decals.
Clean your ATV with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and water. Use a professional
type washing mitten, cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts last. Rinse with
water frequently and dry with a chamois to prevent water spots.
NOTE: If warning and safety decals are damaged, contact your a Polaris dealer for free
replacement. Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing, and allow the
vehicle to run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the
engine or exhaust system.
