- Make sure that no water can enter the
differential or the gearbox via the breathers.
- Make sure that no water can enter via the
reservoir bleed screws of clutch, brakes,
trailing axle, etc.
- The engine and engine compartment can
be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner.
Make sure in this case not to spray onto
electrical components, such as the starting
motor, alternator, etc.
- Maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm
between the engine encapsulation and the
sprayer nozzle to prevent damage to the
encapsulation.
- Do not direct the jet of water at electrical
connections such as connectors, cable
plugs of the vehicle lighting system, etc.
- Ensure that no water can enter the air
intake system via the air intake or its flexible
seals.
- When the vehicle has been cleaned, it must
be lubricated again with a grease gun or via
the automatic lubrication system. This is
important because it prevents the
penetration of moisture and dirt at the
various pivot points.
