Cleaning the machine
The machine should be cleaned regularly with conventional car
care products in order to eliminate the risk of damage to the paint
finish and other surfaces on the machine.
IMPORTANT! Avoid using strong cleaning agents or
chemicals in order to minimise the risk of damage to the
paint finish.
NOTE! Perform daily cleaning of the areas on the machine
where dust, chips, and similar may collect in order to
minimise the risk of fire.
Recommendations for cleaning the machine
Q Park the machine in a place intended for cleaning.
Q Follow the instructions supplied with the car care product.
Q The water temperature must not exceed 60 °C.
Q If a high-pressure wash is used, keep a distance of at least
20–30 cm between the nozzle and machine surface. Too high
push and too short distance may cause damage. Protect
electrical leads in an appropriate way.
Q Use a soft sponge.
Q Finish by rinsing the whole machine with only water.
Q Always lubricate the machine after washing.
Q Touch-up the paint finish when required.
Paint finish maintenance
Q Machines which are used in corrosive environment are more
prone to rusting than others. As a preventive measure, it is
recommended that the paint finish is maintained every sixth
months.
Q First, clean the machine.
Q Apply Dinol 77B (or corresponding transparent waxy anti-rust
agent) to a thickness of 70–80 µ.
Q A protective layer of underseal Dinitrol 447 (or corresponding)
may be applied under the mudguards where mechanical wear
is expected.
Touch-up painting
Machines used in corrosive environments are more prone to
rusting than others. As a preventive measure, touch up damaged
paint finish and perform anti-corrosion treatment every six months.
1 Wash the machine with tepid water. If a high-pressure wash is
used, the nozzle must be kept at a certain distance from the
machine. The water temperature must not exceed 60 °C.
2 Allow the machine to dry and then lubricate it.
3 Check if any areas of the paint finish are damaged. If this is the
case - rectify these.
