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 i s 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. Ri nse 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 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 t he body finish.
CAUTION
Certain products, including insect repellants and chemicals, will
damage plastic surfaces. Use caution when using these products
near plastic surfaces.
