MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Cleaning Your RANGER
Keeping your vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance but it
can also extend the life of various components. With a few
precautions, your vehicle can be cleaned much like an automobile.
The best and safest way to clean your vehicle 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 water spots.
NOTE: If warning labels are damaged, contact your Polaris dealer
for free replacement.
If a high pressure type car wash system is used, extreme care must be
taken to avoid water damage to the wheel bearings, transmission seals,
body panels, brakes, headlights and warning labels. Many expensive
repair bills can result from using high pressure detergent systems.
NOTE: If a high pressure car wash is used, grease all zerk fittings
immediately after washing. Also run the vehicle to evaporate
any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust
system.
