Cleaning The Vehicle - VESPA LX 50 4V Manual

Cleaning the vehicle

Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on the
painted surfaces. Once softened, sponge off mud and dirt using a car body sponge
soaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2-4% of car shampoo in water).
Then rinse with abundant water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the engine exterior,
use petrol, a brush and clean cloths. Petrol can damage paintwork. Remember that
any polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing.
CAUTION
DETERGENTS POLLUTE WATER. THEREFORE THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE
WASHED IN AN AREA EQUIPPED FOR THE COLLECTION AND PURIFICATION
OF THE LIQUIDS USED.
WARNING
NEVER WASH THE VEHICLE IN THE SUN, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER
WHEN THE BODYWORK IS STILL HOT, AS THE SHAMPOO MAY DRY BEFORE
BEING RINSED OFF, AND COULD DAMAGE THE PAINTWORK. NEVER USE
RAGS SOAKED IN PETROL OR DIESEL OIL TO CLEAN THE PAINTED OR PLAS-
TIC SURFACES, TO PREVENT THEM LOSING THEIR SHINE AND MECHANICAL
CHARACTERISTICS.
WARNING
WHEN WASHING THE ENGINE WITH A HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JET:
• ONLY USE FAN SPRAY JETS.
• DO NOT PLACE THE NOZZLE CLOSER THAN 60 CM.
• DO NOT USE WATER AT TEMPERATURES OVER 40° C.
