Cleaning and Storage
Washing the vehicle
Keeping your vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance, but it can also extend the life of various
components. With a few precautions, your vehicle can be cleaned much like an automobile:
• The best and safest way to clean your vehicle is with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and water.
Harsh detergents may deteriorate rubber components.
• Use a professional type washing mitten, cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts last.
• Pay special attention that the cooling system radiator and axle boots are thoroughly cleaned of all dirt
and debris.
•
Rinse with water frequently and dry the vehicle with a chamois to prevent water spots.
• Lubricate all pivot points immediately after washing.
•
Allow the engine to run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine air intake
or exhaust system.
CFMOTO does not recommend the use of a high-pressure car wash system for washing your vehicle, as
water can be forced past seals and damage decals. If a high pressure system is used, exercise extreme
care to avoid water damage to the decals, wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels, brakes, warning
labels, air filter intake system and electrical system. Ensure water is not allowed to enter into the air filter or
CVT housing. If warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your dealer for a replacement.
Waxing the vehicle
Your vehicle can be waxed with any non-abrasive automotive paste wax. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners
since they can scratch the body finish.
