Note:
On the encapsulated engine, also clean the area
between the baseplate and the crankcase.

compressed air.

with compressed air. In this case, do not direct
a powerful air jet against the easily damaged
cooling fins (Figure 39).
Removing damp or oily dirt
– Disconnect the negative lead at the battery.
– Manually clean alternator and regulator.
– Shield the alternator with attached voltage
regulator; do not spray it directly.
– Clean the complete area with a suitable deter-
gent solution in accordance with its manufac-
turer’s instructions, then spray down with a
powerful water jet.
Do not splash electrical system with water jet
or pressure jet during engine cleaning.
Note:
Do not use petrol (gasoline) or acid cleaning
agents.
– Dry the engine with a compressed air jet.
– Trace the cause of any contamination with oil
and have the leak eliminated by a HATZ service
station.
– Install the capsule or air guide elements
previously removed.
– Run the engine until warm, to prevent residual
moisture from causing rust.
The engine must never be run without
all guards and covers in position.
