Connect a water hose to each of the pipe
fittings (1) one at a time, and running
water through for a few minutes each, with

– do not direct jets of high-pressure water directly onto the clutch unit;
– do not clean the clutch with petrol.
Put the machine away in a dry place protected from weather and, if possible,
