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.
Before washing the vehicle, locate the CVT inlet and outlet ducts and 

the air box. The ducts are located under the rear wheel wells. Avoid 

spraying water directly toward the ducts or air box when washing the 

vehicle from the rear.

NOTICE:

 

Water in the CVT system could cause the drive belt to become wet 

and slip in the clutches. Always avoid spraying water directly toward 

the CVT inlet and outlet ducts when washing the vehicle from the 

rear.
High water pressure may damage components. POLARIS 

recommends washing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, 

using mild soap. 
Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will 

damage plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to 

contact the vehicle.

Cleaning and Storage

Washing 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.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

Washing the Vehicle

If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning (not 

recommended), exercise extreme caution. The water may damage 

components and could remove paint and labels. Avoid directing the 

water stream at the following items: 
• Wheel bearings
• Transmission seals
• CVT inlet and outlet ducts
• Air  box
• Brakes
• Cab and body panels
• Labels and decals
• Electrical components and wiring
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.

Polishing the Vehicle

POLARIS recommends the use of common household aerosol 

furniture polish for polishing the finish on your POLARIS vehicle. 

Follow the instructions on the container.
Polishing Tips
• Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch 

the finish of your vehicle.

• 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.
