11. Maintenance and upkeep
Cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner
Labels and exterior decorations should not be sprayed
directly with a high-pressure cleaner, because they may
come off.
Note the instructions for the high-pressure cleaner before washing
the caravan with it.
Keep a minimum distance of 700 mm between the caravan and the
high-pressure nozzle.
Note that the water jet comes out of the cleaning nozzle with a great
deal of pressure. Incorrect use of the high-pressure cleaner can damage
the caravan. The temperature of the water must not exceed 60° C.
Keep the water jet constantly moving during the entire washing process.
The spray from the high-pressure cleaner must never be pointed di-
rectly at the cracks of the doors or windows, acrylic windows, electri-
cal add-on components, plug connectors, seals, ventilation grills, lo-
cker doors, waste gas flues or skylights. This may damage the caravan
or water could get inside the caravan.
Rules for waxing the surfaces
• Treat the paint surfaces periodically with wax. Note the
guidelines for use from the wax manufacturer.
Rules for polishing surfaces
• In exceptional cases, treat damaged paint surfaces with polish.
We recommend paste polishes free of solvents.
Do not polish too often since polishing removes the top
layer of paint. Frequent polishing causes more damage
than it remedies.
Rules for treating tar and resin stains
• Remove residues from tar and resin as well as other organic
stains with petroleum ether or spirit.
Do not use aggressive solvents such as products
containing esters or ketone.
Rules for damage repair
• Repair all damages without undue delay to prevent further
damage caused by corrosion.
Consult your HOBBY dealer.
Chassis
The chassis of the caravan has been specially coated. If the protec-
tive coating is damaged, repair it immediately. Coated areas should
not be treated with spray oil.
