alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
NOTICE:
Pour the water below the carrier or
bucket when cleaning the machine with running
water. Do not use the high pressure washer for
cleaning.
Remove mud, dirt, and the like from the machine. Clean
the machine with running water. After the cleaning, wipe
the machine with a dry cloth.
Storage
Remove the lock key. Store the machine in a safe place
out of the reach of children.
When storing the machine, the handles can be turned
