Adria Caravans
The painted outer surface of the vehicle can be preserved with a commercially available
wax. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions.
Treat polyester parts every year with a two-component wax. Pay attention to the manu-
facturer's instructions.
Observe the environmental protection measures in cleaning and care of the vehicle.
19.1.1
Cleaning the acrylic windows (side windows, roof hoods)
Acrylic glass windows are very delicate and require very careful handling. Non-compliance with
the cleaning instructions voids the manufacturer's warranty.
Clean the windows with only warm water and a soft, clean sponge or cloth.
If the windows are very dirty, use a solution with water and mild soap solution to keep
the windows clear and free from electrostatic charging.
For stubborn soiling, we recommend a special cleaning agent for acrylic glass which is
available from your ADRIA dealer.
Do not use scouring agents. They would scratch the plastic surfaces.
After cleaning the vehicle, rinse all acrylic glass windows with clean water.
Treat rubber seals with talc.
Regularly lubricate all moving parts, hinges and flaps with acid-free grease (e.g. Balli-
stol).
Do not allow water to penetrate the mechanical parts.
The insect screens and blinds can be cleaned with a soft brush. If the insect screens and
blinds are very dirty, use water and mild soap solution to wash them. Then allow the
screens and the blinds to dry well.
19.1.2
Cleaning plastic parts
Clean plastic parts only with warm water, mild household cleanser and a soft, clean
sponge or cloth. The aqueous solution should contain 2% cleaning agent at the most.
Do not use scouring agents. They would scratch the plastic surfaces.
Important!
•
Never drive the vehicle through a wash facility. The acrylic glass windows will be
scratched by the rotating cleaning brushes.
•
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner, maintain a distance of approx.
70 cm from the nozzle to the vehicle surface.
•
Never point the water jet directly towards doors, windows, flaps and vent openings.
Splashing water can penetrate the vehicle through the circumferential air gap between
the glass dome and the frame (forced ventilation).
•
Do not use glass cleaners, abrasives, solvents, cleaning agent containing methylated
spirit or alcohol. This would result in cracks or embrittlement of the acrylic material.
•
Avoid everything that could cause scratching or scoring.
•
Avoid torsional forces when opening and closing the windows.
Important!
Condensation water can form between the double windows of the acrylic glass window. The
condensation water disappears by itself, however, this takes some time.
