tentially cause wear, interferences or
promote corrosion. The list includes

– Around exhaust system and be-
tween muffler and muffler cover
– Under and around the fuel tank
– Radiator
– Shock absorbers
– Around front and rear differentials
– Around and underneath engine and
gearbox
– Inside wheels
– On top of skid plates.
Painted parts which are damaged
should be properly repainted to pre-
vent rust.
When required, wash the body with
warm water and soap (only use mild
detergent). Apply non-abrasive wax.
