CLEANING AND STORAGE
WASHING THE VEHICLE
Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance but it
can also extend the life of various components.
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
does enter the PVT intake, follow
the procedure on page 134.
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.
WASHING TIPS
• Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can damage the finish.
• 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.
• Do not use high-speed polishers/buffers on body panels, as damage or color
fading may occur.
USING A HIGH PRESSURE WATER SYSTEM
If warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your POLARIS dealer for free
replacement.
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.
