CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your ma-
chine will not only enhance its appearance
but will improve its general performance
and extend the useful life of many
components.
1. Before cleaning the machine:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to
prevent water entry. A plastic bag and
strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler
caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively
greasy, apply degreaser with a paint
brush. Do not apply degreaser to the
wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a
garden hose. Use only enough pres-
sure to do the job.
CAUTION:
Excessive water pressure may cause wa-
ter seepage and deterioration of wheel
bearings, brakes, transmission seals and
electrical devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high
pressure detergent applications such as
those available in coin-operated car
washers.
4. Once the majority of the dirt has been
hosed off, wash all surfaces with
warm water and mild, detergent-type
soap. An old toothbrush or bottle
brush is handy for hard-to-get-at
places.
5. Rinse the machine off immediately
with clean water and dry all surfaces
with a chamois, clean towel or soft ab-
sorbent cloth.
