VEHICLE MAINTENANCE (cont.)
CLEANING YOUR ATV
Keeping your ATV clean will not only improve its appearance but it can also extend the life of various
components. With a few precautions, your ATV can be cleaned much like an automobile.
Washing
Do not use a high-pressure type car wash system. Many expensive repair bills can result from the damage
caused by the high-pressure wash to wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and warning
labels.
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 the 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 past wax. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners since they can
scratch the body finish.
