vEHICLE WASHING
Cleaning the vehicle regularly can slow down color fading and make it easier to
check for damage and/or oil leakage.
1. After pre-wiping, the vehicle should be washed with clean water to remove
dirty residues so as to prevent corrosion. Plastic subassemblies should be
cleaned by wiping with a cloth or foam soaked in neutral detergent solution,
followed by rinsing with clean water.
2. After vehicle has air dried, lube drive chain then run engine at idle speed for a
few minutes.
3. Prior to driving, carefully check brake system, repair or adjust if necessary.
