CLEANING AND STORAGE
WASHING THE VEHICLE
Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance but it
can also extend the life of various components.
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. If
water does enter the PVT intake, follow the procedure in the PVT Drying section.
Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will damage plastic
surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to contact the vehicle.
The best 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 damage the finish.
• 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.
• Do not use high-speed polishers/buffers on body panels, as damage or color
fading may occur.
USING A HIGH PRESSURE WATER SYSTEM
WARNING
Spilled oil left on engine components or in the engine area may pose a fire
hazard. Use shop rags to clean any spilled oil. If needed, use a non-flammable
solvent on the rag to aid in the cleaning process. Do not use any device such
as pressurized water or air as this may disperse the oil onto the engine
components and could pose a fire hazard.
