Cleaning th e AT V
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.
Washin g t h e 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 part s 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.
Polaris does not recommend the use of a high pressure type car wash
system for washing the ATV. If a high pressure system is used,
exercise extreme care to avoid water damage to the wheel bearings,
transmission seals, body panels, brakes, warning labels and decals.
NOTE: Grease all zerk fittings immediatel y aft er 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.
Certain products, including insect repellants and chemicals,
will damage plastic surfaces. Use caution when using these
products near plastic surfaces.
