Servicing Your Honda
Saf ety Precautions
High pressure water (or air) can damage certain parts of your ATV.
Frequent cleaning and polishing will keep your Honda looking newer
longer.
Frequent cleaning also identifies you as an owner who values his ATV.
A clean ATV is also easier to inspect and service.
Refer to

.
To clean your ATV, you may use:
water
a mild, neutral detergent and water
a mild spray and wipe cleaner/polisher
a mild spray and rinse cleaner/degreaser and water
Avoid products that contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents that
could damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your ATV.
If your ATV is still warm from recent operation, give the engine and
exhaust system time to cool off.
Park in a shady area. Washing your ATV in bright sunlight may cause
the finish to fade because water droplets intensify the sun’s brightness.
Spotting is also more likely because surface water can dry before you
have time to wipe it off.
Clean your ATV regularly to protect surface finishes.
We recommend the use of a garden hose to wash your ATV. High
pressure washers (like those at coin-operated car washers) can
damage certain parts of your ATV.
After cleaning, inspect for damage, wear, and leaks (fuel, oil, coolant
and brake fluid).
