NOTICE: High water pressure may damage components. POLARIS recommends washing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, using mild soap. The best and safest way to clean your POLARIS vehicle is with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and water. 1.

Washing Tips • Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can scratch the finish. • Do not use a power washer to clean the vehicle. TIP: If a high pressure car wash is used (not recommended), grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Remove the spindle shafts and lubricate the bushings on the top and bottom of the trailing arm.
