Practical advice
Cleaning the underbody
Environmental protection
Observe waste water guidelines. Only
clean the bus in an area appropriately
equipped for cleaning.
Inspect the underbody and pay at-
tention to damage and an unusually
heavily impregnated and discoloured
dirt layer.
Note:
It will be possible to detect faults on the
dirty underbody which will no longer be
visible after cleaning. For example, leak-
ing unions on oil, fuel and coolant pipes
and reservoirs, leaking points on assem-
blies, hidden corrosion in the stained lay-
ers of dirt may be detected. Remedy any
faults and damage remaining after clean-
ing.
Use a hot-water high-pressure clean-
er in accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions.
