Washing the Vehicle
Keeping your HAMMERHEAD 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. Avoid
spraying water directly toward the ducts.
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.
High water pressure may damage components. HAMMERHEAD
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.
The best and safest way to clean your HAMMERHEAD 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.
