Cleaning And Storing; Marten Bites In A Vehicle - Westfalia 10 06 02 Instruction Manual

Cleaning and Storing

 Clean the housing from time to time with a dry or lightly
moistened cloth.
 If you do not plan to use the marten repeller for some time (for
several months), remove the batteries.

Marten Bites in a Vehicle

When your car already has been visited by martens, most likely
the animals have left their marks for the identification of their
area. These odours must unconditionally be removed before
installing the marten repeller. Or other martens could even enter
a bite protected engine compartment. To prevent this, washing
the motor thoroughly is suggested.
Furthermore, the animals leave their marks frequently under the
vehicle, e.g. on the car park. Therefore it is recommendable to
remove these traces with detergents and mop. This way there is
no reason for the marten to be forced to defend its area.
Attention: If you intend to wash the engine compartment again at
a later time, please remove the marten repeller prior to wash the
compartment.
