24 Vehicle Care
24 VEHICLE CARE
24.1 Post Operation Care
You should rinse the dirt and debris off of the ROXOR with fresh
water at the end of each operating day. Apply a rust inhibiting pen-
etrating oil on unpainted metallic parts, excluding belt pulleys and
brake components. When the vehicle is operated in muddy con-
ditions, a complete wash is recommended to help preserve its com-
ponents.
When the ROXOR is used near salt-water environments,
rinsing the vehicle with fresh water becomes more critical. Never use
a high-pressure washer to clean.
24.2 Vehicle Cleaning and Protection
When required, wash with a soft sponge or cloth, warm water and a
mild detergent. Use low pressure water only (like a garden hose) for
cleaning. High pressure can cause damage to electrical or mech-
anical components. Certain areas can collect mud and debris, poten-
tially causing abnormal wear, interferences or promote corrosion.
Use a non-abrasive wax to protect (gloss) painted surfaces only.
Never clean plastic parts with strong detergent, degreas-
ing agent, paint thinner, acetone, etc.
24.3 Metal and Rust Prevention
Cover nicked, scratched or damaged areas with touch-up paint or
other suitable rust inhibitor to prevent rust. Keep body drain holes
free from packed dirt. Apply anti-corrosion spray to the underbody
to avoid rusting and corrosion especially for vehicles in coastal
areas.
High pressure water can wash the grease from wheel
bearings, it may also enter the transmission and/or transfer case
reducing the lubricating qualities of the oil. If these components are
submerged in water or found to have water mixed with the lubricant,
replace lubricant to prevent rusting and premature failure.
24.4 Storage and Preseason Preparation
When the ROXOR will not be used for 4 months or longer, proper stor-
age is recommended. See a ROXOR authorized dealer, repair shop, or
person of your own choosing to have it properly prepared and
inspected before and after storage. When bringing the ROXOR out of
storage, it is also recommended to complete the checklist in section
9.1 Pre-Ride Inspection Checklist
Due to minor parasitic load, the battery should be
removed or disconnected if your ROXOR will be stored for more than
3 months.
