Note On Maintenance Work; Cleaning The Underbody - Mercedes-Benz Conecto Manual

Note on maintenance work

Note:
All the maintenance work is described in
special instructions. The tasks listed here
are not subject to any specific mainten-
ance interval, rather they must be car-
ried out depending on the conditions of
vehicle use.

Cleaning the underbody

Note:
The underbody refers to the entire under-
body of the bus, including the bus floor,
the wheel housings and the underbody
carcass.
Note:
The underbody should be inspected at
regular intervals and cleaned according to
the level of dirt, but at least once a year
in conjunction with the annual mainten-
ance service. This enables underbody pro-
tection coating which is flawed or dam-
aged to be identified and remedied in
good time.
Practical advice
Note on maintenance work
Cleaning the underbody with a
hot-water high-pressure cleaner
Note:
Remove the protective cladding on the
underbody and clean it separately.
Note:
The underbody is protected by protect-
ive coatings against corrosion and stones
being thrown up. Clean as carefully as
possible to avoid washing off or damaging
the good protective layers. Match the wa-
ter temperature and pressure to the spray
nozzle and spraying distance appropri-
ately.
Note:
The underbody should be washed primar-
ily using clean water. Only use a cleaning
product on dirt which is very difficult to
remove.
