• Use a spray with a 40° wide spray
angle pattern.
• Keep the nozzle at a 305 mm distance
and 90° angle to your vehicle's surface.
Note:
Holding the pressure washer
nozzle
at an angle to the vehicle's surface
may
damage graphics and cause the
edges to
peel away from the vehicle's
surface
.
BodyPaintwork Preservation
Frequently remove particles such as bird
droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout to
avoid paint surface damage.
Frequently wash the underbody of your
vehicle if salt is applied on the road.
We recommend that you wax the
paintwork once or twice a year.
Note:
Do not apply polish in strong
sunlight
as this dries the polish too
quickly
.
Note:
Do not allow polish to come in
contact with unpainted plastic surfaces
as
it could be difficult to remove.
Note:
Do not apply polish to the
windshield
or rear window. A
contaminated windshield
or
contaminated wiper blades may lead to
increased wiper noise, reduced wipe
quality
or reduced rain sensor
performance.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Note:
Due to the different materials
found
in the engine compartment, avoid
using
chemical cleaning products,
aggressive
detergents, degreasers, and
acid or alkaline
products that, due to their
corrosive action,
may be aggressive to
certain components.
Water steam
cleaning should also be
avoided.
Note:
During the engine compartment
wash, do not remove the transparent
label
that protects the VIN code. Engine
oil, brake
fluid, radiator additive, batteries
and tires
should be packed and stored in
facilities
especially prepared for handling
industrial
waste. Do not dispose of these
items in
public sewer systems or with
domestic
garbage. Environment
preservation is a
responsibility shared by
all. You too should
do your share.
It is recommended to avoid frequent
engine washes. However, when you do
wash the engine, be careful not to use
strong jets of water on the engine. Never
wash a hot or running engine with cold
water, because the thermal shock on warm
surfaces may damage the engine. The air
conditioning condenser and the radiator
have aluminum fins that may be deformed
when washed with high-pressure water
jets. To avoid damages, wash only with
low-pressure water jets.
Note:
Do not spill water, soap, or any
other
product on the generator and the
starter
motor. They may be damaged
from the
contact with liquids.
When washing:
• Take care when using a power washer
to clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.
• Do not spray a hot engine with cold
water to avoid cracking the engine
block or other engine components.
• Never wash or rinse the engine while it
is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage.
• Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or
the area in and around these locations.
• Cover the battery, power distribution
box and air filter assembly to prevent
water damage when cleaning the
engine.
