Use and maintenance manual 03.01 – 22/06/2016 53
CLEANING
It is wise to remember that, in spite of the surfaces of Birò being
treated with cutting-edge anti-corrosion techniques, they do endure, all
the same, the aggressive action of the following factors: atmospheric
pollution, air salinity (seaside zones), salt spread on the carriageway (in
case of freezing temperatures), wind-conveyed dust and sand, gravel
ung by other vehicles, mud, etc., etc.
The regular carrying out of accurate cleaning helps to protect the
car body and the nishes and, moreover, allows to check possible
damage, to emphasise worn out elements and possible leaks from the
hydraulic circuit.
For cleaning operations, always use specic products that have been
conceived for the treatment of car or of motorcycle surfaces.
WARNING We advise not to use high-pressure water (or air) because
it might damage some parts of the vehicles.
! WARNING It is strictly forbidden to wet the electrical components
and to wash the interior of the vehicle with a hydro-cleaner or with
other “water jet” systems.
How to wash and nish
1. Wet well, with a great deal of cold water, to remove the supercial
dirt.
2. Clean the surfaces with a sponge or with a soft cloth and cold
water. Rinse often with clean water to avoid scratches.
3. To clean the doors use a lot of water and a soft cloth.
Avoid rubbing energetically: the surface might get scratched.
4. Dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid rubbing the door surfaces too
energetically: they might get scratched.
5. Finish the job with specic, non-abrasive products.
6. To polish the rotoformated plastics, you can use specic products,
made for bumpers.
! WARNING Straight after the cleaning work, brake efciency might
temporarily diminish. You have got to use them a few times to restore
normal braking. Foresee dilated braking spaces and times.
