11. Cleaning and Maintenance
a) General notes on cleaning
Clean the whole vehicle of dust and dirt after driving, use eg a long-haired clean brush and a vacuum cleaner. Com-
pressed air aerosols can also be helpful.
Don’t use any cleaning sprays or conventional household cleaners. Doing this could damage the elec-
tronics and cause discoloration on the plastic parts or the car body.
A slightly dampened soft cloth can be used to wipe the car body. Don’t rub too hard otherwise there will be scratch
marks or the paint will get damaged.
b) General maintenance works
At certain intervals maintenance works and function controls that ensure trouble-free operation and roadworthiness
for a long time are to be carried out on the vehicle.
Motor vibrations and shocks during driving can loosen parts and screw fittings. This is why you should check the tight
position of wheel nuts and all screw fittings. The same is the case for other parts of the vehicle.
Check whether the tyres are still properly on the rim or whether the bondings have loosened.
All ball bearings or gears in the vehicle have been provided with suitable lubricants by the manufacturer. Normally no
relubrication is necessary. However, the joints on the vehicle and the wheel bearings require occasional cleaning and
relubrication with suitable lubricants (available in accessory shops). The same is the case for exchanging drive parts
or toothed wheels.
It is imperative that you remove excessive oil or grease since this is where dust settles particularly
quickly again. You may possibly pollute your environment!
If worn or broken vehicle parts have to be exchanged, please only use original replacement parts that can be ordered
via our customer service.
Make sure that no cables are pinched or caught.
Check the model for damage before each use. If you notice any damages, the vehicle must not be used anymore and
has to be taken out of operation. Bring it to a specialized workshop.
Safe operation must be presumed to be no longer possible if
- the device exhibits visible damage.
- the device does not operate any longer.
- the device was stored under adverse conditions for a longer period of time.
- the device was exposed to extraordinary stress caused by transport.
