mersion of the fuel pump); spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal parts;

keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;

4. As regards the battery, follow the instructions in the "Battery" section.

In order to soften the dirt and mud deposited on the painted surfaces, use a low pres-

sure jet of water. Once softened, mud and dirt should be removed with a soft sponge

for bodywork soaked in water and "shampoo" (2-4% of shampoo in water). Then rinse

abundantly with water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the outside of the engine,

use petroleum, a brush and clean cloths. Petroleum is harmful for the paint. Remem-

ber that any polishing with silicon wax must always be preceded by washing
