CLEANING AND STORAGE

A. CLEANING

Frequent, thorough cleaning of your machine

will not only enhance its appearance but will

improve its general performance and extend the

useful life of many components.

1. Before cleaning the machine:

a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to

prevent water entry. A plastic bag and

strong rubber band may be used.

b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps

are properly installed.

2. If the engine case is excessively greasy,

apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do not

apply degreaser to the chain, sprockets or

wheel axles.

3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a gar-

den hose. Use only enough pressure to do

the job.

Excessive water pressure may cause water

seepage and deterioration of wheel bearings,

brakes, transmission seals and electrical

devices. Many expensive repair bills have

resulted from improper high pressure deter-

gent applications such as those available in

coin-operated car washers.
