Dowco Guardian EZ Zip ATV User Manual

Installation

Carefully read the instructions before initial installa­tion. Unfold cover. Locate the “FRONT” tag at the
front of the cover. Starting in the front of the ATV,
position the cover on top of the unit. Carefully pull
over handlebars, racks, etc. Working toward the
rear of the ATV, slide the cover down the sides,
avoiding “snag” points. Position the cover around
the rear of the ATV and close zipper.

Caution: To avoid damage to ATV finish, ensure
that the protective flap sewn behind the zipper
rests between the ATV and the zipper during
cover installation.

The elastic hem should pull the cover tightly around
the wheels. The cover is designed to reach over
most front/rear rack combinations and cover most
of the wheels.

Caution: Avoid placing the material against hot
engine components as melting or burning may
occur.

Caution: Mirrors, foot pegs, muffler ends, etc.
are common wear points. Do not allow fabric to
"snag" around them.

Care and Cleaning

Your cover requires very little maintenance. Normal
dirt and grime should be brushed off with a soft terry
cloth or removed with warm water using a sponge
or terry cloth.

Caution: Do not use detergents or wash in a
clothes washing machine. Do not use a clothes
dryer.

The cover should be thoroughly dried before using
or long term storage while folded.

A water-repellant spray material, such as 3M
Scotchguard

®

is recommended for increased water

resistance.

Although treated with UV inhibitors, the fabric may
fade in direct sunlight after continuous use. This is
normal wear.

Important

Failure to comply with the above direction may
reduce the life of your cover. If you have any ques­tions or comments, please contact your dealer or
DOWCO, Inc.
