Cleaning Your Atv - Polaris YOUTH ATV 2001 Owner's Safety And Maintenance Manual

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your ATV

Keeping your ATV clean will not only improve its appearance but it can also ex-
tend the life of various components. With a few precautions, your ATV can be
cleaned much like an automobile.
Washing
If a high pressure type car wash system is used, extreme care must be taken to
avoid water damage to the wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels,
brakes and warning labels. Many expensive repair bills can result from using high
pressure detergent systems.
NOTE: If a high pressure car wash is used, grease all zerk fittings immediately
after washing. Also run the vehicle to evaporate any water that might have en-
tered the engine or exhaust system.
