CLEANING AND STORAGE
WASHING THE VEHICLE
Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance 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. When washing the vehicle, always avoid spraying water directly
toward the PVT intake screen.
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 garden 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.
• Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Allow the engine to run for
a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust
system.
• Be sure to clean the vehicle’s spray suppression valances
