16. MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your ATV
Keeping your ATV clean will extend the life of various
components.
Washing
Never use a high pressure type car wash system, it can damage
to the wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels, brakes
and warning labels, and water might enter the engine or exhaust
system.
The best and safest way to clean your ATV is with a garden hose
and a pail of mild soap and water. Use a professional type
washing mitten, cleaning the upper body first and lower parts last.
Rinse with water frequently and dry with a chamois to prevent
water spots. NOTE: If warning labels are damaged, contact your
dealer for replacement.
Waxing
Your ATV can be waxed with any non-abrasive automotive paste
wax. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners since they can scratch the
body finish.
CAUTION
Certain products, including insect repellants and chemicals, will
damage plastic surfaces. Care must be taken when using these
products plastic surfaces.
