Cleaning And Checking The Vehicle; Checks After Cleaning - Betamotor ALP4T 125 Bedienungsanleitung

CLEANING AND CHECKING THE VEHICLE

Use a low-pressure water jet to soften the dirt and mud accumulated on the paintwork,
then remove them with a soft bodywork sponge soaked in water and shampoo (2-4
percent shampoo in water). Rinse generously with water and wipe dry with chamois
leather. For the outside of the engine use a brush soaked in petroleum and clean
rags. Petroleum damages the paintwork. Always wash the vehicle before waxing it
with silicon waxes.
Detergents pollute the waters. Always wash the vehicle in areas equipped for
the collection and purification of the washing liquids.
Never wash the vehicle in the sun, particularly during the summer when the
bodywork is hot. The shampoo would dry before being rinsed off and cause
damage to the paintwork. Do not clean the plastic surfaces with cloths soaked in
petrol or naphtha as they would lose their shine and mechanical properties.

CHECKS AFTER CLEANING

After cleaning the motorcycle, it is advisable to:
• Clean the air filter (refer to the procedure described on page 134).
• Grease the chain.
