Washing the Vehicle
Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only
improve its appearance but it can also extend the life of
various components.
NOTICE: Water in the PVT system could cause the drive belt
to become wet and slip in the clutches. When
washing the vehicle, always avoid spraying water
directly toward the PVT intake screen.
High water pressure may damage components.
POLARIS recommends washing the vehicle by hand
or with a garden hose, using mild soap.
Certain products, including insect repellents and
chemicals, will damage plastic surfaces. Do not
allow these types of products to contact the vehicle.
The best and safest way to clean your POLARIS vehicle is with a garden hose and a pail of
mild soap and water.
1. Use a professional-type washing cloth, cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts
last.
2. Rinse with clean water frequently.
3. Dry surfaces with a chamois to prevent water spots.
Washing Tips
• Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can scratch the finish.
• Do not use a power washer to clean the vehicle.
• Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish.
• 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.
• Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Allow the engine to run for a while to
evaporate any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust system.
If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning (not recommended), exercise extreme
caution. The water may damage components and could remove paint and labels. Avoid
directing the water stream at the following items:
If an informational or graphic label becomes illegible or comes off, contact your POLARIS
dealer to purchase a replacement. Replacement safety labels are provided by POLARIS at no
charge.
• Wheel bearings • Brakes • Switches and controls
• Radiator • Cab and body panels • Electrical components and wiring
• Transmission seals • Labels and decals
