To remove dirt and mud from the painted
surfaces, use a low pressure water hose.
Carefully wet the dirty parts and remove
mud and dirt with a soft car sponge. You
may use proprietary car shampoos (2-4%
parts of shampoo in clear water), to make
this easier.
Carefully flush so that no dirt or girt re-
mains on the paintwork, and dry with a
clean chamois or clean terry towel.
To clean the engine and other non-painted
parts, use a mild solvent and a bristle bru-
sh, along with plenty of rags.
After washing the vehicle, always:
KEEP POLLUTING SUBSTANCES AND
COMPONENTS AWAY FROM CHIL-
DREN.
DISPOSE OF POLLUTING SUBSTAN-
CES AND COMPONENTS PROPERLY.

Remove the plug (1) to ensure that any
water or other contaminant that may
have accumulated inside the air cleaner
case is drained.

If this vehicle is not used for more than
twenty days, remove the 30A fuses (2),
see p. 132 (CHANGING FUSES). This will
prevent the discharge of the battery
caused by the slight current consump-
tion of the multifunction computer.
NOTE
The removal of the 30A fuses will
cause the digital clock and the red line set-
ting to go to zero. To reset these functions,
see p. 40 (MULTIFUNCTION COMPU-
TER).
If the vehicle is to be stored for a relatively
long period of time, such as over the win-

putting the vehicle back into service much
easier.
It is much less difficult to prepare the vehi-
cle for storage properly than it is to restore
the vehicle to proper working condition af-
