CLEANING THE ENGINE
Note:
Due to the different materials found
in the engine compartment, avoid using
chemical cleaning products, aggressive
detergents, degreasers, and acid or alkaline
products that, due to their corrosive action,
may be aggressive to certain components.
Water steam cleaning should also be
avoided.
Note:
During the engine compartment
wash, do not remove the transparent label
that protects the VIN code. Engine oil, brake
fluid, radiator additive, batteries and tires
should be packed and stored in facilities
especially prepared for handling industrial
waste. Do not dispose of these items in
public sewer systems or with domestic
garbage. Environment preservation is a
responsibility shared by all. You too should
do your share.
It is recommended to avoid frequent
engine washes. However, when you do
wash the engine, be careful not to use
strong jets of water on the engine. Never
wash a hot or running engine with cold
water, because the thermal shock on warm
surfaces may damage the engine. The air
conditioning condenser and the radiator
have aluminum fins that may be deformed
when washed with high-pressure water
jets. To avoid damages, wash only with
low-pressure water jets.
Note:
Do not spill water, soap, or any other
product on the generator and the starter
motor. They may be damaged from the
contact with liquids.
When washing:
•
Take care when using a power washer
to clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.
•
Do not spray a hot engine with cold
water to avoid cracking the engine
block or other engine components.
•
Never wash or rinse the engine while it
is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage.
•
Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or
the area in and around these locations.
•
Cover the battery, power distribution
box and air filter assembly to prevent
water damage when cleaning the
engine.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Note:
Do not allow air fresheners and hand
sanitizers to spill on interior surfaces. If a
spill occurs, wipe off immediately. Damage
may not be covered by your warranty.
Note:
Do not use household cleaning
products or glass cleaners, which can stain
and discolor the fabric and affect the flame
retardant abilities of the seat materials.
Note:
We recommend distilled water when
cleaning.
Fabric, Carpets, Cloth Seats,
Headliners and Floor Mats
Note:
Avoid soaking any surface. Do not
use excessive amounts of water to clean
the vehicle interior.
Note:
To avoid spots or discoloration, clean
the entire surface.
To clean:
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner or brush.
•
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp
cloth and a mild soap and water
solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft
cloth.
•
If a ring forms on the fabric after spot
cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately, but do not soak or the
ring will set.
