Cleaning
To prolong the life of your vehicle, wash it down
immediately after it has been splashed with sea wa-
ter or exposed to salt air, or operated on rainy days,
rough terrain, or in dusty areas.
WARNING
Build-up of debris or flammable material in
and around the vehicle chassis, engine, and
exhaust can cause mechanical problems and
increase the risk of fire.
When operating the vehicle in conditions
that allow debris or flammable material to
collect in and around the vehicle, inspect the
engine, electrical component and exhaust
areas frequently.
If debris or flammable
materials have collected, park the vehicle
outside and stop the engine.
Allow the
engine to cool, then remove any collected
debris.
Do not park or store the vehicle in
an enclosed space prior to inspecting for
build-up of debris or flammable materials.
Preparation for Washing
Before washing, precautions must be taken to
keep water off the following parts.
•
Muffler rear opening - cover with a plastic bag.
•
Ignition switch - cover the keyhole with tape.
•
Air cleaner intake (middle of the rear ROPS top) -
close opening with tape, or stuff in rags.
•
Horn button - cover with tape.
Where to be Careful
Avoid spraying water with any great force near the
following places.
•
Front and rear brakes - if water gets into the brake
drums, they will not work effectively until they have
dried out.
•
Under the rear seat - if water gets into the ignition
coils or into the spark plug caps, it can ground out
the spark. When this happens the vehicle will not
operate properly and the affected parts must be
wiped dry.
•
Power Steering System – if water gets into the
actuator or is sprayed over the ECU, they may
cause malfunction.
NOTICE
Coin operated, high pressure spray wash-
ers are not recommended.
Water may be
forced into bearings and other components
causing eventual failure from rust and cor-
rosion. Some soaps are highly alkaline and
may leave a residue or cause spotting.
NOTE
○
Abrasive cleaner will damage the camouflage
surface and a high pressure washer could cause
the camouflage to peel off the bodywork (for
KAF620S).
