This graphic serves as a reminder to peel off the protective film from both surfaces of the windshield before installation to ensure optimal clarity.

Before beginning installation, ensure you peel off the protective film from both sides of the windshield. This film protects the polycarbonate during shipping and handling.

Ensure all mounting hardware is securely fastened according to the provided instructions. Proper installation is crucial for the windshield's performance and longevity.

5. Operating Instructions

The 3-in-1 design allows for quick adjustments to suit your riding conditions. The windshield can be easily transitioned between its three positions from your seat using the integrated latch and gas struts.

Positions:

  • Closed: For maximum protection against wind, rain, and debris. This position provides a full barrier.
  • Vented: Allows for controlled airflow into the cabin while still offering significant protection from the elements. Ideal for moderate temperatures.
  • Open: Flips up to provide full airflow, similar to a half windshield. Suitable for warm weather or when maximum ventilation is desired.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the clarity and scratch-resistant properties of your SuperATV windshield, follow these cleaning guidelines:

  • Rinse the windshield thoroughly with water to remove loose dirt and debris.
  • Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild soap solution (e.g., dish soap) and warm water.
  • Gently wipe the surface. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Rinse again with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
  • DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based cleaners (like Windex), or solvents (like gasoline, acetone, or paint thinner), as these can damage the XR Optic Hard Coating and the polycarbonate material.

7. Troubleshooting

Fit Issues:

If the windshield does not seem to fit correctly, double-check the installation instructions. Ensure all components are oriented correctly and that the vehicle model is within the specified compatibility range. Minor adjustments may sometimes be necessary, but significant modifications should be avoided. Contact SuperATV support if you encounter persistent fitment problems.

Leaking:

The windshield is designed with a no-leak seal. If you experience water intrusion, inspect the EPDM rubber bulb seals and PVC trim for proper seating and any damage. Ensure all mounting points are tightened correctly, as loose hardware can compromise the seal.

Scratches:

While the XR Optic Hard Coating provides excellent scratch resistance, it is not entirely scratch-proof. Follow the maintenance guidelines carefully to minimize the risk of scratches. Avoid wiping the windshield when dry or with abrasive materials.
