MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Cleaning
It is not recommended to clean the Engine
Air Intake Filter element. However, a clean
damp cloth should be used to wipe away dust
and debris from the air cleaner housing.
Radiator Screen
To maintain adequate airflow through the
engine cooling system, the Radiator Screen
(located ahead of rear hood) must be
inspected daily and cleaned as necessary.

Handle is in the NEUTRAL position and
parking brake is engaged.
