Cleaning
Washing the Machine
Wash the machine as needed. Use water alone or with a mild
detergent. You may use a rag when washing the machine;
however, the hood will lose some of its luster.
Important:
Pressurized water is not recommended
when washing the machine. It may damage the
electrical system, loosen important decals, or wash away
necessary grease at friction points. Avoid excessive use
of water, especially near the control panel, motor, motor
controller, charger, back of the dashboard, and batteries.
Storage
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking
brake, shut off the machine, and remove the key.
2.
Clean dirt and grime from the entire machine, including
the outside of the motor housing.
Important:
You can wash the machine with mild
detergent and water. Do not use high pressure
water to wash the machine. Pressure washing
may damage the electrical system or wash away
necessary grease at friction points. Avoid excessive
use of water, especially near the control panel,
lights, motor, and the battery.

Remove the key and put it in a safe place out of the
reach of children.

Battery Storage
1.
Charge the batteries fully before placing the machine
into storage; refer to
Charging the Batteries (page 33)
.
Plug the charger into a wall outlet while the machine
and batteries are in storage. Leave the charger plugged
into a wall outlet and charging receptacle during storage
to ensure that the batteries stay charged and do not
freeze; otherwise, charge the batteries monthly at a
minimum.
2.
Plug in the charger during storage to maintain full
battery life.
Important:
If the machine cannot be plugged
in during storage, fully charge the batteries at
least once a month. The batteries self-discharge
over long periods of time, which may damage the
batteries to the point of being unusable, even if the
batteries are new.
3.
After fully charging the batteries, fill the batteries with
distilled or deionized water before storing; refer to
Adding Distilled or Deionized Water to the Batteries
(page 35)
