Saf ety Precautions Refer to on page .
If a surface on your ATV is chipped or scratched, your dealer has touch-
up paint to match your ATV’s color. Be sure to use your ATV’s color
code (page
) when you buy touch-up paint.
After washing your ATV, consider using a commercially available spray
cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste wax to finish the job. Use only a
non-abrasive polish or wax made specifically for motorcycles or
automobiles. Apply the polish or wax according to the instructions on
the container.
The exhaust pipe and muffler are stainless steel but may become stained
by mud or dust.
If the frame has a chip that exposes the metal, first apply primer (to
prevent corrosion) and then apply the touch-up paint. Several thin layers
of touch-up paint are better than one thick coat.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and a liquid kitchen abrasive,
then rinse well with clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a commercially available fine
texture compound. Then rinse by the same manner as removing mud or
dust.
