Cleaning

Washing the Machine

Wash the machine as needed. Use water alone or
with a mild detergent. You can use a rag.
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.

Storage

1. Park the machine on a level surface, shut off the
engine, engage the parking brake, and remove
the key from the key switch.
2. Clean dirt and grime from the entire machine,
including the outside of the engine cylinder-head
fins and blower housing.
Important:
You can wash the machine
with mild detergent and water. Do not use
high-pressure water to wash the machine.
Pressure-washing may damage the electrical
system or wash away necessary grease at
friction points. Avoid excessive use of water,
especially near the control panel, lights,
