● Do not use high-pressure washers:
u High-pressure water cleaners can

the throttle body and/or enter the air
cleaner.

● Do not direct water at the muffler:
u Water in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
● Dry the brakes:
u Water adversely affects braking

brakes intermittently at low speed to
help dry them.
● Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
u Water in the air cleaner can prevent the
