Water in the PVT system could
cause the drive belt to become
wet and slip in the clutches.
Always avoid spraying water
directly toward any intake pre-
filters
q
. If water is sprayed into
the pre-filters, perform the drying
procedures described in the PVT
Drying section.
High water pressure may damage radiator fins and impair a radiator’s
effectiveness. High pressure may also damage other vehicle components.
NOTICE
Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will damage
plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to contact the vehicle.
The best 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.
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:
• Wheel bearings
• Radiators
• Transmission seals
• Brakes
• Cab and body panels
• Labels and decals
• Electrical components and wiring
• Air intake components
• Seat Belts
• Shocks
