CLEANING PROCEDURE
A thorough cleaning of your UTV is a necessary part of maintenance. It will help keep your UTV
looking and performing best. Proper cleaning can also extend the life of your UTV.
It is important to clean and inspect your UTV 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 UTV before any mud dries on the UTV.
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.
With some care, your UTV can be washed in a similar manner to washing an automobile.
Note: Avoid spraying or allowing water to flow over the following places:
● Ignition switch
● Spark plug
● Fuel tank cap
● Carburetor
● Air filter
Use a garden hose at low pressure to remove the majority of dirt or other debris. Hand wash
your UTV with mild soap or detergent and water. Try to thoroughly remove all dirt and debris
without excessive water pressure even at remote areas such as between engine cooling
fans, linkages or mounting brackets. Cloth rags, washing mitts or cleaning brushes can be
used. Be careful with brushes as they may scratch plastic or painted surfaces. Rinse the UTV
thoroughly with clean water. Dry all areas using a chamois or soft absorbent cloth.
NOTE: If warning labels are damaged contact Baja Motorsports or your local service center for
replacement.
