<br />
12.1 External care<br />
12.1.1 Washing with a high-pressure cleaner<br />
Do not clean the tyres with a high-pressure cleaner. The tyres might be<br />
<br />
damaged.<br />
Do not spray external applications (deco-films) directly with the high-pressure<br />
cleaner. The external applications could come<br />
<br />
off.<br />
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner, observe the operating<br />
instructions of the high-pressure cleaner.<br />
During washing, keep the following minimum distance between the vehicle<br />
and the high-pressure jet:<br />
With nozzle for circular jet approx. 700 mm<br />
<br />
When using a 25° fan nozzle and dirt cutter, approx. 300 mm<br />
<br />
Take into consideration that the jet of water comes out of the cleaning nozzle<br />
with pressure. The vehicle may be damaged by incorrect handling of the highpressure<br />
cleaner. The temperature of the water should not be above 60 °C.<br />
Keep the jet of water in constant movement during the washing process. Do<br />
not direct the water jet at clearances, built-in electrical parts, plugs, seals, the<br />
refrigerator ventilation grill or the skylights. The vehicle may be damaged or<br />
water may enter the interior.<br />
12.1.2 Washing the motorhome<br />
Wash the motorhome only on a washing site intended for this purpose.<br />
<br />
Avoid full sunshine. Observe environmental measures.<br />
Only clean external applications and synthetic parts with plenty of warm<br />
<br />
water, dish washing liquid and soft cloth.<br />
Wash down the vehicle with plenty of water, a clean sponge or a soft brush.<br />
<br />
In the case of stubborn dirt add dish washing liquid to the water.<br />
Painted exterior walls may also be cleaned with a caravan cleaner.<br />
<br />
Add-on parts made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) require a regular<br />
<br />
follow-up treatment with a polisher. This way these parts will not turn yellow<br />
and the sealing of the surface remains intact.<br />
Treat rubber seals of doors and storage flaps with talc.<br />
<br />
Treat locking cylinder of doors and storage flaps with graphite dust.<br />
