is also recommended.

(CLEANING).

Polish painted surfaces with wax.

Inflate the tires, see page 46 (TIRES).

By means of a suitable support, position
the vehicle so that both tires are raised
from the ground.
◆
Store the vehicle in an unheated, dry
place, away from sun light, where
temperature is reasonably steady.
◆
Wrap and tie a plastic bag around the
exhaust pipe opening to keep moisture
out.
