Cleaning and Storage

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
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 labels are damaged, contact your a Polaris dealer for
free replacement.
Polaris does not recommend the use of a high pressure type car wash system for washing
the ATV. If a high pressure system is used, exercise extreme care to avoid water damage to
the wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and warning labels.
NOTE: 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.
