CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your machine will not only
enhance its appearance but will improve its general per
formance and extend the useful life of many components.
1. Before cleaning the machine:
A. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent water
entry. A plastic bag and strong rubber band may be used.
B. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are pro
perly installed.
2.
If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degr
easer with a paint brush. Do not apply degreaser to the
chain, sprockets or wheel axles.
3.
Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose.
Use only enough pressure to do the job.

Excessive water pressure may cause water seepage
and deterioration of wheel bearings, brakes, trans
mission seals and electrical devices. Many expensive
repair bills have resulted from improper high pressure
detergent applications such as those available in coin-
operated car washers.

4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash
all surfaces with warm water and mild, detergent-type
soap. An old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy for hard-
to-get-at places.
5. Rinse the machine off immediately with clean water and
dry all surfaces with a chamois, clean towel or soft
absorbent cloth.
6. Dry the chain and lubricate it to prevent rust.
