16.2.2 Upholstery
The elements of the upholstery of the Laika vehicles
are manufactured with fabrics with different compo-
sitions which require different types of treatment. To
wash them, refer to the labels applied on the fabrics,
indicating their composition and how to treat them.
The labels are in the following locations:
• settee cushions: in the driving direction backrest or
in the side backrest;
• cab seats covers: in the backrest;
• cab carpet: in the internal side.
16.2.3 Exterior
• Do not use high pressure cleaning devices.
• Use delicate detergents specific for aluminium.
• Pay close attention to the parts on which labels
and adhesive graphics are present. These parts are
more delicate.
• Do not use alcohol to clean the window panes or
any other plastic parts.
16.2.4 Tanks
For a good maintenance, it is recommended to clean
the fresh water tank and the waste water tank before
a long period of inactivity of the vehicle, and however
at least once a year.
Proceed as follows:
1) Open the inspection cap of the fresh water tank
and remove any residues that may be present.
2) Fill the fresh water tank and the waste water tank
up to about half its capacity, by adding the specific
commercial disinfectants. Follow the instructions in
the disinfectants.
3) Drive the vehicle for a short route in such a way
that the water inside the tanks moves.
4) Empty the tanks and rinse them with plenty of
clean water.
Any differences in the shade of components in
contact with each other may be caused by differ-
ences in their basic materials.
NOTE
Upholstery fabrics are sensitive to direct ultra-
violet light (sunlight or halogen light) and may fade
over time. As far as possible, protect the cushions
from sun rays.
WARNING
Do not expose upholstery fabrics to direct heat
sources.
WARNING
Genuine leather and eco-leather cushions are
less resistant to abrasion and fading than other
fabrics. This is due to the nature of the product
and does not indicate any defect.
WARNING
Gently clean the eco-leather cushions with a soft,
damp cloth. Do not use abrasives or chemical
detergents.
WARNING
Drain the tanks without harming the environment.
