Cleaning and Storage
Washing the Vehicle
Keeping your Polaris vehicle
clean will not only improve its
appearance but it can also extend
the life of various components.
Before washing the vehicle,
locate the PVT outlet duct under
the right rear wheel well. Avoid
spraying water directly toward
the duct when washing the vehi-
cle from the rear.
The best and safest way to clean your Polaris vehicle is with a garden
hose and a pail of mild soap and water.
1. Use a professional-type washing cloth, cleaning the upper body first
and the lower parts last.
2. Rinse with clean water frequently.
3. Dry surfaces with a chamois to prevent water spots.
Washing Tips
• Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can scratch the finish.
• Do not use a power washer to clean the vehicle.
• Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish.
• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or
reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the
finish.
CAUTION
Water in the PVT system could cause the drive belt to become wet and slip in
the clutches. Always avoid spraying water directly toward the PVT outlet duct
when washing the vehicle from the rear.
High water pressure may damage components. Polaris recommends
washing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, using mild soap.
Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will damage
plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to contact the vehicle.
