Cleaning the ATV
Keeping your ATV clean will not only improve its appearance, but it can also extend the life of various
components. With a few precautions, your ATV can be cleaned much like an automobile.
Washing the ATV
The best and safest way to clean your ATV is 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. Rinse with water
frequently and dry with a chamois to prevent water spots.
NOTE
If warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your dealer for replacement.
CFMOTO does not recommend the use of a high pressure type car wash system for washing your ATV.
If a high pressure system is used, exercise extreme care to avoid water damage to the wheel bearings,
transmission seals, body panels, brakes, warning labels, air filter intake system and electric system, etc.
Water is never allowed to enter the air filter.
NOTE
Grease all 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.
