Polishing the Vehicle
POLARIS recommends the use of common household aerosol furniture polish for polishing
the finish on your POLARIS vehicle. Follow the instructions on the container.
Polishing Tips
• Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch the finish of your
vehicle.
• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or reused cloths and
pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.
Storage Tips
Clean the Exterior
Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle as recommended. See page 116.
Oil and Filter
Change the oil and filter. See page 83.
Air Filter / Pre-Filter
1. Inspect and clean or replace the pre-filter and air filter. See page 90.
2. Clean the air box, including sediment plugs.
Inspect and Lubricate
Inspect all cables and lubricate all areas of the vehicle as recommended in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 73.
Battery Maintenance
See page 112 for storage and charging procedures.
Fluid Levels
Inspect the fluid levels. Add or change fluids as recommended in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart beginning on page 73.
• Front gearcase fluid
• Transmission fluid
• Hydraulic/Hydrostatic fluid
• Brake fluid (change every two years and any time the fluid looks dark or contaminated)
• Coolant (test strength/fill)
Storage Area/Covers
Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover the vehicle with a genuine POLARIS
cover. Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to
prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
