CLEANING PROCEDURE
AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE
A thorough cleaning of your ATV
is a necessary part of mainte-
nance and will help keep your
ATV looking and performing its
best. Proper cleaning can also
extend the life of your ATV.
It is important to clean and
inspect your ATV after every ride if
it is used in mud, brush, grass,
water, salt water, or very dusty
conditions.
The build-up of mud, brush,
grass, etc, especially on the
engine and exhaust system, can
reduce engine cooling, conceal
damage, or increase wear of cer-
tain parts. It is important to
remove all debris during cleaning.
PREPARATION FOR CLEANING
Wash the ATV before any mud
dries on the ATV.
Block or seal the end or the
exhaust pipe (muffler) using a
piece of plastic wrap, cloth rag or
another method to prevent water
from entering the engine.
CAUTION
High pressure washers can
damage your ATV.
High pressure washers such as
those found at coin-operated
car washes have enough pres-
sure to damage the parts of
your ATV. It may cause rust,
corrosion and increase wear.
Do not use high pressure
washers to clean your ATV.
