Cleaning

Washing the Vehicle

The vehicle should be washed as needed. Use
water alone or with a mild detergent. A rag may
be used, however the hood will loose 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,
engine, and battery.
