which time hot wash at temperatures below 60 degrees centigrade and spraying no closer
than 300 mm from the surface is permissible with care.
Any damage to the painted surfaces, e.g. dents, scratches, should be treated and repainted as
soon as possible to prevent any further degradation of the bodywork.
ALWAYS ensure lubrication points, slides etc are adequately greased after the use of high
pressure or steam cleaners. never pressure wash lifting chains.
