MAINTENANCE
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.
NOTICE
Water in the PVT system could cause the drive belt to become wet and slip in
the clutches. Always avoid spraying water directly toward any intake pre-filters.
High water pressure may damage radiator fins and impair a 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.
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 labels. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:
• Wheel bearings
• Radiator
• Transmission seals
• Brakes
• Cab and body panels
• Labels and decals
• Electrical components and wiring
• Air intake components
If warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your POLARIS dealer for free
replacement.
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.
