CLEANING AND STORAGE
Cleaning
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your machine
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.
1.
before cleaning the machine.
a.
black off the end of the exhaust pipe
to prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band maybe used.
b.
assure the spark plug and all filler caps
are correctly installed.
2.
if the engine case is extremely greasy, apply
degreaser with a paint brush. Do not apply
degreaser to the wheel axles.
3.
rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden
hose. Use only sufficient pressure to do the
job.
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 cloth.
6.
clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner
to keep the cover pliable and glossy.
7.
automotive type wax maybe applied to all
pained and chrome plated surfaces. Avoid
combination cleaner-waxes. Many contain
abrasives which may mar the paint or prot-
-ective finish. When finished, start the engine
And let it idle for several minutes.
