Salty air in coastal regions, high UV radiation, sand, soil or changing conditions may
cause permanent damage to vehicle parts and surfaces.
There may be visible corrosion or changes to the surfaces.
This has a negative impact on preserving the value of the machine!
Caution! Possible damage to or destruction of parts!
- Corrosion can damage individual metal components
or also the whole installation.
As a result, the stability of fastenings and structures
can be impaired.
Corresponding preventive treatment must be applied
to the machine. This should be repeated at appropriate
intervals when necessary.
- All possible harmful influences must be taken into
consideration. This includes high salt content in the air
near the coast together with the use of de-icing agents
on the roads or strong UV radiation.
- The vehicle should be treated with corrosion and surface
protection adjusted to the prevailing conditions.
- Any signs of emerging corrosion must be stopped
and sealed air-tight.
- A second layer of preserving agent can help
to safeguard corrosion protection.
- Measures for corrosion or surface protection that entail
coating the surface must be coordinated with the
Customer Service for the machine.
