Remove particles such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect remains, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout immediately.

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 wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the

running engine may cause internal damage.

• Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning

the engine.
