CLEANING PROCEDURE
A thorough cleaning of your ATV is a necessary part of maintenance. It will help
keep your ATV looking and performing best. Proper cleaning can also extend the
life of your ATV.
It is important to clean and inspect your ATV after every ride, especially if it is used
in mud, brush, grass, water, salt water, or very dusty conditions
The build-up of mud, brush, grass, etc. especially on the engine and exhaust system,
can reduce engine cooling ability, conceal damage, or increase wear of certain parts.
It is important to remove all debris during cleaning.
PREPARATION FOR CLEANING
Wash the ATV before any mud dries on the ATV.
Block or seal the end of the exhaust pipe (muffler) using a piece of plastic wrap, cloth
rag or another method to prevent water from entering engine.
CAUTION
High pressure washers could damage your ATV.
High pressure washers such as those found at coin-operated car washes have
enough pressure to damage the parts of your ATV. It may cause rust, corrosion
and increase wear.
Do not use high pressure washers to clean your ATV.
