Clean the vehicle thoroughly and as soon
as possible after driving off-road.
Do not let mud remain dry on any part of

the airflow through a nd over m echanical
components and cause localised
overheating and failure of parts, especially
in the engine compartment.
Ensure the radiator core and the area
between the radiator and intercooler / oil

maintain proper cooling airflow.
Check the radiator and cooler cores for
blockage (sand, silt etc.).
Check the tyre trea ds.
Clean and check the mechanical parts of
the vehicle, particularly the following
areas:
z Driveshafts, including sealing bellows,
z Front brake calipers, pads and discs,
z Front suspension,
z Clutch fork sealing bellows,
z Rear brake calipers, pads and discs,
z Rear suspension,
z Fuel tank and underguard,
z Breathers, axles and fuel tank,
z Load sensing valve,
z Transfer box and underguard,
z Engine oil pan and underguard.
Observe the following:
z Do not spray high-pressure water
directly at the vehicle seals.
z The wheels must be removed to clean all
mud and stones from the brake calipers
and to check brake pad wear.
z The areas on the upper side of the
underguards must be cleared of stones,
to prevent damage to the engine oil pan
and the fuel tank.
