NOTE: For bare aluminum frames use only alumi-
num cleaner and follow instructions on container.
(Dursol cleaner or equivalent).
Clean frame and tunnel with appropriate cleaners
and rinse with high pressure hose.
CAUTION: Never direct high-pressure water jet
towards decals. They would peel off.
Touch up all metal spots where paint has been
scratched off. Spray all bare metal parts of vehicle
with metal protector.
Seat Cleaning
For all models, it is recommended to clean the
seat with a solution of warm soapy water, using
