11. Cleaning and maintenance
Maintenance or repair of the remote control, the cruise control and the receiver must only be
carried out in a specialized workshop. Never open these product components or take them
apart.
Improper tampering invalidates not only the guarantee/warrantee but also the license (CE).
a) General notes on cleaning
When driving indoors, hair can get caught in the drive; outdoors, eg blades of grass can obstruct the drive.
Clean the whole vehicle of dust and dirt after driving, use e.g. a long-haired clean brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Compressed air aerosoles can also be helpful.
Don’t use cleaning aerosols or conventional household cleaners, this could damage the electronics. Discoloring of the
plastic material or the car body is also possible.
A soft cloth, slightly dampened with lukewarm water 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) 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 applies for other parts of the vehicle.
Check whether the wheels are seated properly on the rims.
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 applies when replacing drive parts or
gears.
It is imperative that you remove excessive oil or fat since this is where dust settles particularly quickly again. You may
furthermore soil floors and carpets or pollute the nature.
The spare part list can be found on our website in the Download domain specific to the corresponding
