CLEANING AND STORAGE
WASHING THE VEHICLE
If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning (not recommended),
exercise extreme caution. The water may damage components and could
remove paint and decals. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:
• Wheel bearings
• Radiator
• Transmission seals
• Cab and body panels
• Electrical components
• Switches and controls
• Fuel system components
• Labels and decals
If an informational or graphic label becomes illegible or comes off, contact your
POLARIS dealer to purchase a replacement. Replacement safety labels are
provided by POLARIS at no charge.
Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Allow the engine to run for a
while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust
system.
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.
POLISHING THE VEHICLE
POLARIS recommends the use of common household aerosol furniture polish
for polishing the finish on your POLARIS vehicle. Follow the instructions on the
container.
