Cleaning
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your ATV will not only enhance its appearance but will improve its
general performance and extend the useful life of many components.
1. Before cleaning the ATV:

b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paintbrush. Do not apply

Excessive water pressure may cause water seepage and deterioration of wheel bearing,
brakes, transmission seals and electrical devices. Many expensive repair bills have
