Washing the Vehicle
The use of a high pressure washer may damage the instrument cluster. Wash the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose using mild soap. Do not use alcohol to clean the instrument cluster. Do not allow insect sprays to contact the lens. Immediately clean off any gasoline that splashes on the instrument cluster.
If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning, exercise extreme caution. The maximum pressure should not exceed 4000 PSI, 2.5 GPM with a 40° pressure washer nozzle. Make sure to keep the pressure washer nozzle 23.6 in (60 cm) from the vehicle. The water may damage components and could remove paint and decals. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:
-
Wheel bearings
-
Radiator
-
Transmission seals
-
Cab and body panels
-
Electrical components
-
Switches and controls
-
Fuel system components
-
Labels and decals
-
Throttle and shift cables and controls
If an informational or graphic label becomes illegible or comes off, contact your POLARIS dealer to purchase a replacement. Replacement safety labels are provided by POLARIS at no charge.
Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Allow the engine to run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust system.
