Cleaning and Storage

Washing the Vehicle

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 follow-
ing items:

If an informational or graphic label becomes illegible or comes off, con-
tact your Polaris dealer to purchase a replacement. Replacement safety
labels are provided by Polaris at no charge.

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.

polish for polishing the finish on your Polaris vehicle. Follow the
