Cleaning the engine
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
•
Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The high
pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause damage.
•
Do not spray with cold water to avoid cracking the engine block or
other engine components.
•
Never apply anything to the drive belt (including belt dressing).
•
Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning
the engine.
•
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.
Cleaning plastic exterior parts
Use vinyl cleaner for routine cleaning. Clean with a tar remover if
necessary. Do not clean plastic parts with thinners, solvents or
petroleum-based cleaners.
