Washing the Vehicle
Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only improve its
appearance but it can also extend the life of various components.
NOTICE: Water in the PVT system could
cause the drive belt to become wet
and slip in the clutches. When
washing the vehicle, always avoid
spraying water directly toward the
PVT intake duct.
High water pressure may damage
the radiator fins and impair the
radiator’s effectiveness. High
pressure may also damage other
vehicle components.
Certain products, including insect
repellents and chemicals, will
damage plastic surfaces. Do not
allow these types of products to
contact the vehicle.
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.
