Washing
WARNING
Never use a high-pressure type car wash system, it can cause damage to the
wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels, brakes, warning labels, and
water might enter the engine or exhaust system.
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 lower parts last. Rinse with water frequently and dry with a chamois to
prevent water spots. NOTE: If warning labels are damaged, contact
1-800-643-7332 for replacement.
Waxing
CAUTION
Certain products, including insect repellants and chemicals, will damage plastic
surfaces. Care must be taken when using these products near plastic surfaces.
Your ATV can be waxed with any non-abrasive automotive paste wax. Avoid the
use of harsh cleaners since they can scratch the body finish.
Transporting
Whenever the ATV is to be transported the following measures should be taken.
1. Turn off the engine and remove the key.
2. Turn the fuel valve to "OFF".
3. Be certain the fuel cap, oil cap, and seat are installed correctly.
4. Always tie the frame of the ATV to the transporting unit securely using suitable
straps or rope.
Always place the transmission in gear and lock the parking brake.
