WASHING YOUR ATV
With some care, your ATV can be
washed in a similar manner to wash-
ing an automobile.
NOTE: Avoid spraying or allowing
water to flow over the following
places:
•
Ignition switch
• Spark plug
• Fuel tank cap
• Carburetor
Use a garden hose at low pressure to
remove the majority of dirt or other
debris. Hand wash your ATV with 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.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
Remove the rags or wrapping from
the exhaust pipe. Check the drain
tubes on the bottom of the air filter
box and drain any water that has col-
lected in them. For extended lift of
your ATV, lubricate it according to the
“GENERAL LUBRICATION” section.
Follow the procedures in the
“INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING”
section to check your ATV for any
problems that may have arisen during
your last ride.

WARNING
Operating the ATV with wet brakes
can be hazardous.
Wet brakes may not provide as
much stopping power as dry
brakes. This could lead to an acci-
dent.
Test your brakes after washing the
ATV, while riding at slow speed. If
necessary, apply brakes several
times to let friction dry out the lin-
ings.
