Look, we get it- mudding is FUN. \u00a0We enjoy it too!<\/p>\n
But you need to make sure your starter motor stays clean. \u00a0It is essential to make sure that\u00a0certain areas of the vehicle are properly sealed or they will become filled with mud\/water and\u00a0become inoperable. The following pictures are of a Polaris starter motor returned on an\u00a0actual warranty claim for a 1996 Sportsman 400 (disassembled for viewing): This is NOT a happy starter motor!!<\/p>\n
It is important to make sure that all gaskets and seals are in good condition so that\u00a0water doesn’t get into your engine and cause this problem on your vehicle. \u00a0Underneath all this mud is rust & corrosion – not a good combination for any electrical part. \u00a0With continued exposure to moisture, your starter motor will quit, leaving you stranded. \u00a0Staying away from mud all together is the best solution but we all like to have fun, right? \u00a0Make sure you take the time to wash your vehicle right after you get back from the trails; don’t let the mud dry up.<\/p>\n
We cannot guarantee warranty coverage on starters returned in this condition. In an effort to\u00a0assure the best customer service we are prepared to repair such starters for a nominal fee\u00a0depending on the severity of the damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
