GAS GAS WILD HP 450 - 2005, Service Manual, Page: 52 / 71

Where to be careful? Avoid spraying water with any great force
near the:
Brake pump master cylinder and callipers, below the petrol tank ( if
water gets into the ignition coil or the spark plug cap, the QUAD will
not start and the affected parts will have to be dried), Front and rear
wheel hubs; suspension; swing arm bearings.
-Wash all the surfaces with warm water and a neutral detergent
soap.
- Rinse the machine with clean water and dry all the surfaces with
a soft and absorbent cloth.
- Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep it soft and
shiny.
-You can apply a car wax to all the chrome and painted surfaces.
Avoid using certain waxes combined with cleaning materials. Many
of these contain abrasives which migh damage the paintwork or
protective finish. When finished, start the engine and leave it idling
for a few minutes.
WARNING
Damp brakes may be less efficient, resulting in an increased risk of
accident. Test the brakes after washing and pump several times,
driving at low speeds, to allow the friction to dry them.
After cleaning
- Remove the plastic bags and clean the air filter intake.
- Lubricate the locations listed in the lubrication section.
- Start the engine and let it heat for 5 minutes.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the parts shown, with engine oil or grease, regularly or
when the vehicle has been in wet weather and especially after using
