Maintenance

Cleaning and Storage

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 labels are damaged, contact your a Polaris dealer for

free replacement.
Polaris does not recommend the use of a high pressure type car wash system for washing

the ATV. If a high pressure system is used, exercise extreme care to avoid water damage to

the wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and warning labels.
NOTE: 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.
