MAINTENANCE Cleaning Your 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 If a high pressure type car wash system is used, extreme care must be taken to avoid water damage to the wheel bearings, transmission seals, body panels, brakes and warning labels. Many expensive repair bills can result from using high pressure detergent systems. NOTE: If a high pressure car wash is used, grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing. Also run the vehicle to evaporate any water that might have entered the engine or exhaust system. 158
