High-pressure cleaning equipment
G
WARNING
The water jet of circular-jet nozzles (dirt grind-
ers) can cause damage not visible from the
outside to tyres or chassis components. Com-
ponents damaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu-
lar-jet nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have dam-
aged tyres or chassis components replaced
immediately.
! Never use a high-pressure cleaner in the
vehicle interior. The pressurised water cre-
ated by the high-pressure cleaner and the
associated spray could cause considerable
damage to the vehicle.
! When using a high-pressure cleaner, keep a
minimum distance of approximately 30 cm
between the high pressure nozzle and the
vehicle parts. Do not use a high-pressure
cleaner with a round jet nozzle. Parts of the
vehicle or engine can otherwise be damaged.
!
Keep the water jet moving constantly while
cleaning. This will avoid causing damage to
the vehicle.
Do not point the water jet at:
R
door joints
R
reversing camera
R
air bellows
R
brake hoses
R
wheel balance weights
R
electrical components
R
electrical plug connectors
R
seals
R
drive train, especially not at the intermedi-
ate bearing of the propeller shaft
! The exhaust gas aftertreatment compo-
nents may only be cleaned once they have
cooled down. Otherwise, the sensors may be
damaged.
Never point the water jet directly into the
exhaust pipe. Otherwise, the exhaust gas
aftertreatment components may be dam-
aged.
Cleaning the engine
! Water must not enter intake or ventilation
openings. When cleaning with high pressure
water or steam cleaners, the spray must not
be aimed directly at electrical components or
the terminals of electrical lines.
Preserve the engine after the engine has been
cleaned. Protect the belt drive system from
exposure to the preservative agent.
Also observe the information under "High-pres-
sure cleaners" (
Y
page 351).
Cleaning the paintwork
! Do not affix:
R
stickers
R
films
R
magnetic plates or similar items
to painted surfaces. You could otherwise
damage the paintwork.
