CLEANING, LUBRICATION AND STORAGE
CLEANING. Frequent and thorough cleaning of your vehicle is an important part of maintenance and will
reduce the risk of corrosion and help the resale value if the vehicle looks good.
Near to areas in the sea or high mountain where salt is used on the road, we recommend a cleaning or
the vehicle after use to prevent corrossion by the effects of salt. It is important to make a good clean at
those points where the salt cumul.
I. Before cleaning:
a) Cover the end of the exhaust to stop water getting inside.
b) Make sure that the spark plug and filler caps are fitted correctly.
2. If the motor is very dirty or greasy, use a degreasing agent (Refer to note above.) Do not apply this to
the wheel axles or the chain, because that would remove any protective layer of lubricant.
3. Using a hose pipe remove the degreasing agent and dirt, but only with the pressure that is necessary.
(DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER.)
NOTE: Rieju is not responsible for the use of degreasing agents that may stain or mark the body
work or chassis.
Rieju is not responsible for the possible damage and wear and tear due to using a pressure
hose to clean the vehicle.
