MAINTENANCE

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 decals. Avoid directing the water stream at the follow-

ing items:
• Wheel bearings
• Radiator
• Transmission seals
• Brakes
• Cab and body panels
• Labels and decals
• Electrical components and wiring

NOTE:

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.

Polishing the Vehicle

Polaris recommends the use of common household aerosol furniture

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

instructions on the container.
Polishing Tips
• Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch the

finish of your vehicle.

• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or

reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the

finish.
