Cleaning the Machine
Service Interval:
After each use
After each use, wash the machine with mild detergent
and water. Do not pressure wash the machine.
Avoid excessive use of water, especially near the
shift-lever plate, the InfoCenter, the power center,
and the machine power connector. Clean the motor
to provide proper cooling during operation. Also,
keep the battery pack as clean as possible so that
it maintains a white color. This reflects sunlight and
keeps the battery from overheating in the sun.
Important:
Do not use brackish or reclaimed
water to clean the machine.
Important:
Always store or park the machine out
of direct sunlight, as heating from the sun reduces
the battery-pack life span.
