Washing t h e ATV
CAUTION
Do not use a high pressure washer for washing the ATV. Serious damage will result
to wheel bearings, chains, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and decals.
Clean your ATV with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and water. Use a professional
type washing mitten, cleaning the upper body fi rst and the lower part s last. Rinse with
water frequently and dry with a chamois to prevent water spots.

vehicle to run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the
engine or exhaust system.
