USER
MANUAL
To clean your CORVUS, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the exhaust system to prevent water from getting in.
2. Remove mud and dirt with a jet of water at low
pressure.
3. Clean any especially dirty areas with a special cleaner or soap product.
DO NOT USE CORROSIVE PRODUCTS OR ACIDS.
4. Rinse with a jet of water at low pressure.
5. Let the vehicle drip dry naturally.
6. Unplug the exhaust pipe and drive around in the vehicle for a short
distance until the engine reaches operating temperature, and apply the
brakes.
This will let the water evaporate completely in the areas that are difficult
to access.
Never use high-pressure equipment to clean the vehicle. Avoid aim-
ing the jet of water directly at the multifunction panel, bearings, air
cleaner, switches, controls or any other electrical element.
It is very detrimental to briefly start up the engine when the vehicle is
stationary, because the engine is not hot enough and the air vapour
created during combustion condenses and causes the oxidation of
the exhaust valves.
When you have to store the vehicle for a long period of time you should:
• Clean the vehicle thoroughly and allow it to dry.
• Apply a wax-based corrosion inhibitor to the shiny or zinc-coated parts,
except for the brake discs which are made of stainless steel and do not
require any protection.
• Start the engine for about 5 minutes to warm the engine oil and then emp-
ty it (see maintenance).
• Change the filters and add new engine oil.
• Check the condition and the level of the antifreeze.
• Drain the fuel from the tank (if left for a long time, fuel deteriorates).
• Check the tire pressure and inflate them to their maximum pressure of
2 bars.
• Disconnect the battery.
• Cover the vehicle to protect it from dust and dirt.
• Store the vehicle in a dry place that is not subjected to important temper-
ature changes.
To turn on the vehicle again, after storage:
• Connect the battery (having charged it previously).
• Replace the fuel filter.
• Fill the fuel tank.
• Check the points in the section “Daily inspection before driving”.
• Perform a brief test drive.
