CLEANING AND STORAGE
A.CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance, but also
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.
1. Before cleaning the vehicle:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to
prevent water entry using a plastic bag
and a strong rubber band.
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 paintbrush. Do not
apply degreaser to the wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a
garden hose. High-pressure water is not
necessary.
CAUTION:
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 high-pressure detergent
applications such as those available in
coin-operated car washers.
4. Once the majority of the dirt has been
hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent- type soap. An
old toothbrush may be handy for
hard-to-reach places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with
clean water and dry all surfaces with a
clean towel or soft absorbent cloth.
