VEHICLE CARE

Post-Operation Care

When vehicle is used in salt-water en-
vironment, rinsing the vehicle with
fresh water is necessary to preserve
vehicle and its components. Metal-
lic parts lubrication is highly recom-
mended. Use XPS LUBE (P/N 293 600
016) or an equivalent. This must be
performed at the end of each operat-
ing day.
When vehicle is operated in muddy
conditions, rinsing the vehicle is rec-
ommended to preserve vehicle and its
components and to keep lights clean.
Vehicle Cleaning and
Protection
Never use a high pressure washer to
clean the vehicle. USE LOW PRES-
SURE ONLY (like a garden hose).
High pressure can cause electrical or
mechanical damages. Wrap-up muf-
fler tip to avoid water infiltration in the
exhaust system.
Painted parts which are damaged
should be properly repainted to pre-
vent rust.
When required, wash the body with
warm water and soap (only use mild
detergent). Apply non-abrasive wax.
NOTICE
Never clean plastic parts
with strong detergent, degreasing
agent, paint thinner, acetone, etc.
