218 12. Maintenance and Care
Dry the headlights and sockets thoroughly, as water collects
there easily.
Washing with a high pressure cleaner
Do not spray stickers and external decors directly with the
high pressure cleaner as they could peel away as a result.
Before washing the motor home with a high pressure cleaner,
study its operating manual carefully. During washing maintain
a minimum distance of at least 700 mm between the motor
home and the high pressure cleaner. Please note that the wa-
ter jet is under pressure when it comes out of the cleaning
nozzle. Incorrect handling of the high pressure cleaner can
result in damage to the motor home. The water temperature
should not exceed 60°C. Keep the water jet moving while was-
hing. The spray from the high-pressure cleaner must never be
pointed directly at the cracks of the doors or windows, acry-
lic windows, ventilation grills in the refrigerator, service flaps,
waste gas flues or skylights. This may damage the vehicle or
water could get inside the vehicle.
The following applies when waxing the surfaces
• The varnished surfaces should be treated occasionally
with wax. Follow the application instructions given by the
wax manufacturers.
The following applies when polishing the surfaces
• In exceptional cases, use polish to refinish weathered varnis-
hed surfaces. We recommend solvent-free polishing paste.
Use polish only in special cases and as seldom as possible,
because polish removes the top layer of varnish. Polishing
too often will result in wear and tear.
The following applies for tar and resin stains
• Tar and resin stains as well as other organic stains can be
removed with petroleum ether or spirits.
Do not use aggressive solutions such as products contai-
ning ester or ketone.
The following applies for damages
• Repair all damages without undue delay to prevent further
damage caused by corrosion. Ask your HOBBY dealer for
assistance.
