do not direct the jet of water at the lock cylinders
- they can freeze up in the winter.

Washing

with
high
pres­

sure
cleaner

• The operating instructions for the high
pressure
cleaner must be followed closely
- particularly
with
regard to pressure and working distance.
• Do not use a concentrated jet. • The water temperature must not be above 60 degrees C.

Attention

Tyres

never
be
cleaned
with
a
concentrated
jet! Even at a
rela­

tively
large
working
distance
and a
very
short
spraying
time,
dam­
age can occur.
Waxing

A
good coat of wax protects the .s~ : e
paintwork to a large extent against the e". -
ronmental influences listed under
"Wash­

ing"
on the previous page and even agars:
light
mechanical damage.
At the latest when water on the clean paint

does
not form small drops and roll off, the
vehicle should be protected by applying a
coat of good hard wax.
Even
when a wax solution is used regularly in the washing
water it is advisable to protect the paint
with

a
coat of hard wax at least twice a year.
Polishing

Should
only be done if paint has lost its shine
and gloss cannot be brought back
with
wax. If the polish used does not contain preserv­
ative compounds, the paint must oe waxed
afterwards.

Note

Matt
painted
and
plastic
parts
should not be treated
with
polish or hard wax..
