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 seat - if water gets into the ignition coils
or into the spark plug cap, it can ground out the
spark.
When this happens the vehicle will not
operate properly and the affected parts must be
wiped dry.
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 cleanser will damage the camouflage
surface and a high pressure washer could cause
the camouflage to peel off the bodywork (for
KAF400E).

When washing the vehicle, always use a mild neu-
tral detergent and water.
