3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden
hose. Use only enough pressure to do the
job. WARNING! Test the brakes after
washing. Apply the brakes several times
at slow speeds to let friction dry out the
linings. Wet brakes may have reduced
stopping ability, increasing the chance of
an accident. NOTICE: Excessive water
pressure may cause water seepage and
deterioration of wheel bearings, brakes,
transmission seals and electrical devices.
Many expensive repair bills have resulted
from improper high-pressure detergent
applications, such as those available in
coin-operated car washers.
