Cleaning
Washing the Machine
The machine should be washed as needed. Use water alone
or with a mild detergent. A rag may be used when washing
the machine, however the hood will loose some of its luster.
Important: Do not use power washing equipment to
wash the machine. Power washing equipment may
damage the electrical system, loosen important decals,
or wash away necessary grease at friction points. Avoid
excessive use of water near the control panel, engine,
and battery.
