Washing the Vehicle
Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not
only improve its appearance but it can also
extend the life of various components.
NOTICE:
Water in the PVT system could cause the
drive belt to become wet and slip in the
clutches. Always avoid spraying water
directly toward any intake pre-filters.
High water pressure may damage the
radiator fins and impair the radiator’s
effectiveness. High pressure may also
damage other vehicle components.
Certain products, including insect repellents
and chemicals, will damage plastic
surfaces. Do not allow these types of
products to contact the vehicle.
The best and safest way to clean your POLARIS
vehicle is with a garden hose and a pail of mild
soap and water.
1. Use a professional-type washing cloth, cleaning the upper body first
and the lower parts last.
2. Rinse with clean water frequently.
3. Dry surfaces with a chamois to prevent water spots.
Washing Tips
• Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can scratch the finish.
• Do not use a power washer to clean the vehicle.
• Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish.
• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or
reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the
finish.
