CLEANING AND STORAGE
CLEANING PRODUCTS
This section provides tips on the very best way to clean, polish and preserve
every surface of your beautiful new SLINGSHOT vehicle. We recommend the
use of Polaris Engineered Vehicle Care cleaning and polishing products to offer
the best care for your vehicle. After cleaning the vehicle, inspect for damage to
the painted surfaces. Repair chips or scratches promptly by applying touch-up
paint to prevent corrosion.
For more information, or for answers to your cleaning and detailing questions,
please see your SLINGSHOT dealer.
WASHING THE VEHICLE
NOTICE
Do not use pressurized water to wash the SLINGSHOT vehicle. Water may
seep in and deteriorate wheel bearings, brake caliper assemblies, electrical
connectors and transmission seals. Do not direct any water stream at the air
intakes, exhaust outlets, radiator, rider compartment, engine compartment,
heat shields, or electrical components.
1. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
2. Rinse off as much dirt and debris as possible with water running at low
pressure. Use as little water as possible when washing near the air intake or
the exhaust pipe openings. Dry these components thoroughly before using
the vehicle.
3. Make sure the brakes are functioning properly before riding.
SEASONAL STORAGE
If you will not operate the vehicle for 60 days or longer, such as during the
winter, storing it properly will help prevent damage to the fuel system, electrical
system, engine, suspensions, tires and body. During extended storage periods,
maintain tire pressure and battery voltage at the recommended levels.
1. Choose a dry, well-ventilated storage location away from direct sunlight,
preferably a garage or similar structure. The structure should have a firm,
flat, clean surface free of oil and gasoline. The structure should have a
relatively constant and moderate temperature.
2. Proper storage starts with cleaning, washing and waxing the hood, chassis,
upholstery and plastic parts. Be sure that corrosive salt and acids are
removed from surfaces before beginning preservation with waxes and rust
inhibitors (grease, oil or paint). Clean and touch up with paint any rusted or
previously painted surfaces.
