Cleaning the ATV
Keeping your ATV clean will not only improve its appearance but it
can also extend the life of various components. With a few
precautions, your ATV can be cleaned much like an automobile.
Washing t he ATV
The best and safest way to clean your ATV 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
Polaris dealer for free replacement.
CAUTION
High water press ure may damage ATV components. Polaris
recomm ends washing the ATV by hand or with a garden hose
using mild soap.
Certain products, including insect repellants and chemicals, will
damage plastic surfaces. Do not allow these ty pes of products to
come into contact with the ATV.
If a high pressure water system is used, exercise extr eme 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.
Waxing the ATV
Your ATV can be waxed with any non-abrasive automotive paste wax.
Avoid the use of harsh cleaners since they can scratch the body finish.
