PREPARATION FOR CLEANING
Wash the ATV before any mud dries on
the ATV.
Block or seal the end or the exhaust pipe
(muffler) using a piece of plastic wrap, cloth
rag or another method to prevent water
from entering the engine.
High pressure washers can damage
your ATV (especially the radiator pin).
High pressure washers such as those
found at coin-operated car washes
have enough pressure to damage the
parts of your ATV. It may cause rust,
corrosion and increase wear.

clean your ATV.

WASHING YOUR ATV
With some care, your ATV can be
washed in a similar manner to washing an
automobile.
Use a garden hose at low pressure to
remove the majority of dirt or other debris.
Hand wash your ATV with a 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 fins, 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 ATV
thoroughly with clean water. Dry all areas
using a chamois or soft absorbent cloth.
