Cleaning the ATV
Keeping your ATV clean will not only improve its appearance but it can also extend the life
of various components. With a few precautions, your ATV can be cleaned much like an
automobile.
Washing the ATV
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 water
spots. NOTE: If warning and safety decals are damaged, contact your a Polaris dealer for
free replacement. 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.
Do not use a high pressure washer for washing the ATV. Serious damage will result
to wheel bearings, chains, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and decals.
