use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E. STRADA - TRAIL
WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, its
braking functions could be temporarily
impaired because of water on the
braking surfaces.
Calculate long braking distances to
avoid accidents.
Brake repeatedly to restore normal
conditions.
Carry out the preliminary checking
operations, see page 47 (PRELIMINARY
CHECKING OPERATIONS).
To remove dirt and mud from the painted
surfaces use a low-pressure water jet,
carefully wet the dirty parts, remove mud
and filth with a soft car sponge
impregnated with a lot of water and
shampoo (2 – 4% parts of shampoo in
water).
Then rinse with plenty of water and dry with
chamois leather.
To clean the outer parts of the engine use
a degreaser, brushes and wipers.
CAUTION
To clean the lights, use a sponge
soaked with water and a mild detergent,
rubbing the surfaces delicately and
rinsing frequently with plenty of water.
Polish with silicone wax only after
having carefully washed the vehicle.
Do not use polishing paste on matt
paints.
Do not wash the vehicle under the sun,
especially during the summer, when the
body is still warm, since if the shampoo
dries before being rinsed away, it can
damage the paint.
Do not use fluids at a temperature
exceeding 40°C to clean the plastic
components of the vehicle.
