CLEANING AND STORAGE Cleaning the ATV Keeping your ATV clean will not only improve its appearance but it can also extend the life of various components. Washing the ATV CAUTION Do not use a high pressure washer for washing the ATV. Serious damage will result to wheel bearings, chains, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and decals. Clean your ATV with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and water. Use a professional type washing mitten, cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts last.

Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing, and allow the vehicle to run for a while to evaporate any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust system. 159
