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.

If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning, exercise extreme caution. The maximum pressure should not exceed 3000 psi (20684.27 kPa), 2.5 GPM (567.81 LPH) with a 40° pressure washer nozzle. Make sure to keep the pressure washer nozzle 2 ft (60 cm) from the vehicle and away from the surface being cleaned. High water pressure could remove paint and labels and damage radiator fins and/or impair a radiator’s effectiveness. High water pressure with a hot temperature could also damage brake lines with the nozzle at a close proximity even with a short exposure time. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:

  • Wheel bearings

  • Radiator

  • Transmission seals

  • Brakes / brake lines

  • Body panels

  • Labels and decals

  • Electrical components and wiring

  • Air intake components

  • Throttle and shift cables and controls

  • Seats

If warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your POLARIS dealer for free replacement.

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.
