BMW 7 Series: Notes On Handling The High Pressure Cleaner
WARNING: Only used a high pressure cleaner approved by BMW! Only instructed persons aged over 16 years may work using a high pressure cleaner.
Check the high pressure cleaner and electrical wiring for visible damage.
Only use at a suitable location.
IMPORTANT: Pay attention to following hazard warnings:
- Danger of injury due to water jet
- Contact with hazardous substances in spray
- Risk of skidding on wet floor
- Risk of stumbling due to hoses and cables
- Comply with NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HANDLING CLEANING AGENTS !
- Risk of scalding when cleaning with hot water
- On electric or hybrid cars, the safety instructions for handling with hybrid cars are to be complied with
WARNING: The following personal protective equipment is to be used:
- Safety goggles/face guard
- Suitable gloves
- Apron
- Rubber boots
- Ear protectors
- Safety shoes
IMPORTANT: Notes on washing a vehicle with a high pressure cleaner:
- Do not wash directly on gaskets and control units during engine washes.
- A minimum distance of 30 cm must be adhered to for tires and tire valves.
- A minimum distance of 30 cm must be adhered to for the soft top and painted parts.
- Do not use if engine is still hot.
- Do not exceed maximum water temperature of 60 degrees.
- Do not spray directly onto cameras/sensors.
- On electric or hybrid cars do not wash on high-voltage components.
NOTES ON USING TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED INFRA-RED RADIATORS
When using temperature-controlled infrared radiators, damage to adhesive bonds, paint and vehicle components can occur when drying spatula and filler.
The temperature sensors in the infrared radiator only operate reliably on large, even surfaces.
On small surfaces such as C-pillars or sills, often only a colder, adjacent area is measured.
This leads to actual surface temperatures of up to 130ºC, even if only 70ºC is set on the infrared radiator.
When the rear side walls are partially replaced by bonding and riveting, these high temperatures can lead to a visible pattern in the area of the joint.
Remedy:
Check the surface temperatures on small component surfaces during the drying process with an external TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
The general rule is: The surface temperatures must not exceed 85ºC.
Infrared lamp and infrared temperature measuring device
An infrared lamp with stand and an infrared temperature measuring device are required for hardening the 2- component metallic filler for the glue and rivet repair method.
This equipment guarantees hardening of the 2-component metallic filler quickly and professionally in three work stages.
This equipment is essential to prevent adhesion problems and/or visible caving during application of the 2- component metallic filler.
The infrared lamp dries the filler, and the temperature measuring device monitors and checks the three-stage drying process of the 2-component metallic filler.
Order through BMW part ordering channel.
