Cleaning the 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.
Wash ing the AT V
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 parts last. R inse 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 and warning labels. NOTE:
Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing, and allow t he
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.
