MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your 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

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 and

warning labels. Many expensive repair bills can result from using high pressure deter-

gent 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 might have entered the

engine or exhaust system.
