Keep Your UTV in Top Shape All Year Long!
Is your Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) ready to take a break from the thrill of trails and adventures? Let’s gear up for some off-season action of a different kind – UTV maintenance!
In this guide, we’ll jump into the exciting world of keeping your off-road companion in top shape. It’s time to channel your inner mechanic and give your UTV the TLC it deserves!
Fuel System Care
Drain or Stabilize Fuel
- Empty the tank if the UTV won’t be used for a long time. Alternatively, add a fuel stabilizer to keep the fuel fresh and prevent engine damage.
Run the Engine
- After adding the stabilizer, run the engine for a few minutes to ensure the stabilizer spreads throughout the fuel system.
Tire Preservation
Regular Pressure Check
- Consistently check and adjust tire pressure to prevent damage and extend their life.
Storage Tips
- If possible, store your UTV with the tires off the ground using blocks or a lift. This helps avoid flat spots on the tires.
Thorough Cleaning and Protection
Deep Clean
- Wash off all dirt, mud, and debris. Pay special attention to undercarriage and hidden spots where grime can accumulate.
Protective Waxing
- Apply a quality wax to shield the paint from moisture and fading.
Interior Maintenance
- Clean all surfaces inside. If your seats are fabric, consider a protective spray to guard against dampness and stains.
Battery Upkeep
Trickle Charger
- A trickle charger or battery tender keeps the battery charged at a safe level, preventing it from dying.
Routine Inspections
- Even with a charger, inspect the battery occasionally for any signs of wear or corrosion.
Rodent Control
Deterrent
- Store your UTV away from areas prone to rodents. Use natural or commercial repellents to prevent them from chewing wires or building nests.
Smart Storage Solutions
Ideal Storage Locations
- A garage or shed is best. Keep your UTV away from extreme temperatures and moisture.
UV-Resistant Covers
- If outside storage is unavoidable, a breathable, UV-resistant cover is vital to protect against weather and sun damage.
Seat Protection with PRP Seat Covers
Protective Covers
- Use PRP seat covers to safeguard against wear and tear. They’re made to fit snugly and protect against dust, water, and sun.
Easy Maintenance
- These durable covers are also easy to clean, keeping your seats looking new.
