Washing the Vehicle

The vehicle should be washed as needed. Use water
alone or with a mild detergent. A rag may be used,
however the hood will loose some of its luster.
Important: Pressurized water is not recommended
when washing the machine. It may damage the
electrical system, loosen important decals, or wash
away necessary grease at friction points. Avoid
excessive use of water, especially near the control
panel, motor, and batteries.
