6.6 CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Note:
Before cleaning the vehicle, check the engine,
axles, gearbox, etc. for evidence of leakage.
Having cleaned the vehicle, it will no longer be
possible t o check for leaks during the
maintenance activities.
- Make sure that doors, windows and roof
hatch are securely closed during cleaning.
- When cleaning the universal joint on the
steering box, t he spider seals may be
forced open by the high-pressure jet of
water, so that the grease behind them is
flushed away. As a result, the spider may
get stuck, so that the steering will “jam”.
- A bleed screw is fitted to the power steering
fluid reservoir of the steering gear. Water
may enter the power steering reservoir via
the v ent, which will cause damage to the
steering gear.
- When cleaning the radiator/intercooler
element, be careful not to damage the fins.
- Do not direct the high-pressure cleaner jet
too long at the air-conditioning system
condenser. As a result of the high
temperature, the pressure in the system will
rise t oo high, which may cause damage to
the system.
- Make sure that no water can enter the
differential and gearbox via the vents.
