Washin g t h e ATV
Keeping your ATV clean will not only improve its appearance but it
can also extend the life of various components.
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. Rinse with water
frequently and dry with a chamois to prevent wat er spots. Avoid the
use of harsh cleaners which can scratch the finish.
NOTE: If warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your
Polaris dealer for free replacement.
CAUTION
High water pressure may damage ATV components. Polaris
recommends washing the ATV by hand or with a garden hose
using mild soap.
Certain products, including insect repellants and chemicals, will
damage plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to
come into contact with the ATV.
If a high pressure water system is used, exercise extreme caution to
avoid damaging wheel bearings, radiator, transmission seals, body
panels, brakes and warning l abels. Grease all zerk fittings immediately
after washing, and allow the vehicle to run for a while to evaporate any
water that may have entered the engine or exhaust system.
Waxing the ATV
Unless it has a special finish, your ATV can be waxed with any
non-abrasive automotive paste wax. Do not wax models that have a
camouflage finish.
