CARE OF BODY AND PAINTWORK
The use of cold water at normal tap pressure is recommended for the first three
months, after which steam cleaning at temperatures below 60 degrees centigrade
and spraying no closer than 300 mm from the surface is permissible, with care.
Any damage to the painted surfaces, eg dents, scratches, should be treated and
repainted as soon as possible to prevent any further degradation of the bodywork.
ALWAYS ensure lubrication points, slides etc are adequately greased after the use
of high pressure or steam cleaners. Never pressure wash lifting chains.
