Cleaning the engine
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
• Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
• Do not spray with cold water when the engine is hot to avoid
cracking the engine block or other engine components.
• Never apply anything to the drive belt (including belt
dressing).
