Cleaning the RANGER
Keeping your RANGER clean will not only improve its appearance but
it can also extend the life of various components. With a few
precautions, your RANGER can be cleaned much like an automobile.
Washing the RANGER
The best and safest way to clean your RANGER is 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 labels are damaged, contact your a
Polaris dealer for free replacement.
CAUTION
High water pressure may damage vehicle components. Polaris
recommends was hing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose
using mild soap.
Certain p roducts, including insect repellants and chemicals, will
damage plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to
come into contact with the vehicle.
If a h igh pressure wat er system is used, exercise ex treme caution to
avoid damaging wheel bearings, radiator, transmission seals, body
panels, brakes and warning labels. 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.
Waxin g th e RANGER
Your RANGER can be waxed with any non-abrasive automotive paste
wax. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners since they can scratch the body
finish.
