.Cleaning
Only
by keeping' your
"Max"
in
good
order
can
you
expect
it
to. be always
ready
for service. This involves
correct handling,
regular
cleaning, lubrication
in
accord·
.ance with
instru~tions,
and
checks for safety.
'A
motor cycle, even
if
merely dusty, shold be
cleaned
with
a,
soft
rag
soaked·
in
oil to prevent
bright
parts
and
the enamel from becoming dull.
Soak
harden'ed dirt
before
you .rub it
'off;
remove
large
lumps
of
dirt from
corners with a
wooden
stick,
and
finally
wash
down.
,
Be
car~ful
about
using a hose;
don't
play
the
jet directly
on wheel hubs
or
carburettor. Bearings
are
bound
to
rust,
and
the
engine
will respond with
poor
starting
or
stopping during runs to
water
in
the
carburettor
or
fuel
tank. Tackle particularly
greasy
spots with
paraffin
or
/
washing petrol,
rather
than
fuel which attacks
the
enamel.
For the
same
reason
wipe off fuel spilled while filling up.
