If 你可以’t find your owner’s manual, check the manufacturer’s website for one 你可以 download or print for yourself.

Once you’ve soaked the tractor and knocked off any major buildup, use a mixture of water and a mild detergent and scrub the entire surface of the tractor from top to bottom. Do this in small sections and rinse each section as you go to prevent the soap scum from drying on and undoing all that work. Be careful to avoid getting any instrument panels or electronics wet, then allow the tractor to dry fully. Grease any moving parts you need to.

室内清洁
