Cleaning the 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 the ATV
Do not use a high pressure washer for washing the ATV. Serious damage will result
to wheel bearings, chains, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and decals.
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 decals are damaged, contact your a Polaris dealer for
free replacement. 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.
