MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Cleaning and Storage
Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped)
Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion,
preserve wheel life and ensure a “like new” appearance for many years.
1. Wash chrome rims frequently. Use a mild detergent to remove any
salt, dirt, mud or grime. Never use abrasive cleaners on plated or
painted surfaces.
2. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive
grade chrome polish.
3. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each
polished chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome
finishes. Read and follow the product l abels and instructions.
4. Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal
areas) are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned.
Clean chrome wheels more often if they’re exposed to salt or other
corrosive elements.
Removing Corrosion
If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT
grade) to remove it. Gently rub the affected areas with the steel wool
until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as
outlined above.
Transporting an ATV
Follow these procedures when
transporting an ATV.
1. Turn off the engine and remove the
key to prevent loss during
transporting.
2. Turn the fuel valve off.
3. Be sure the fuel cap, oil cap and seat
are installed correctly and securely.
4. Always tie the frame of the ATV to
the transporting unit securely using
suitable straps or rope. The rack,
bumper or handlebars do not offer
enough support for tie-down while
transporting the unit.
5. Always place the transmission in gear
and lock the parking brake.
