Clean the machine using water and/or steam. Pay
particular attention to the underside. Do not allow mud to
build up on the engine and transmission. Make sure that
the radiator grille is not blocked.
Excessive power washing can cause damage to seals and
bearings. Do not direct high power water jets at oil seals,
universal joints or electrical components.
Inspect steelwork for damage. Note damaged paintwork
for future repair.
Make sure all pivot pins are correctly in place and secured
by their locking devices.
Ensure that the handrails are undamaged and secure.
Check all lamp lenses for damage.
Inspect the tyres for damage and penetration by sharp
objects.
Check that all safety decals are in place and undamaged,
fit new decals where necessary.
