24 Vehicle Care

24.1 Post Operation Care

You should rinse the dirt and debris off of the ROXOR with fresh
water at the end of each operating day. Apply a rust inhibiting
penetrating oil on unpainted metallic parts, excluding belt pulleys
and brake components. When the vehicle is operated in muddy
conditions, a complete wash is recommended to help preserve its
components.
When the ROXOR is used near salt-water environments, rinsing the
vehicle with fresh water becomes more critical. Never use a high-
pressure washer to clean.

24.2 Vehicle Cleaning and Protection

When required, wash with a soft sponge or cloth, warm water and
a mild detergent. Use low pressure water only (like a garden hose)
for cleaning. High pressure can cause damage to electrical or
mechanical components. Certain areas can collect mud and debris,
potentially causing abnormal wear, interferences or promote
corrosion. Use a nonabrasive wax to protect gloss painted surfaces
only. Wax should not be used on matte painted surfaces.
Never clean plastic parts with strong detergent, degreasing agent,
paint thinner, acetone, etc.

24.3 Metal and Rust Prevention

Cover nicked, scratched or damaged areas with touch-up paint or
other suitable rust inhibitor to prevent rust. Keep body drain holes
free from packed dirt. Apply anti-corrosion spray to the underbody
to avoid rusting and corrosion especially for vehicles in coastal
areas.
High pressure water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, it
may also enter the transmission and/or transfer case reducing the
lubricating qualities of the oil. If these components are submerged
in water or found to have water mixed with the lubricant, replace
lubricant to prevent rusting and premature failure.

24.4 Storage and Preseason Preparation

When the ROXOR will not be used for 4 months or longer, proper
storage is recommended. See a ROXOR authorized dealer, repair
shop, or person of your own choosing to have it properly prepared
and inspected before and after storage. When bringing the ROXOR
out of storage, it is also recommended to complete the checklist in
section 9.1 PreRide Inspection Checklist.
Due to minor parasitic load, the battery should be removed or
disconnected if your ROXOR will be stored for more than 1 month.
Hooking up a battery tender to the battery is also recommended.
