2. Conditions of use
Before you insert the tarpaulin, your motorcycle must be clean (no sand or other dirt,
oil, etc.). The friction that occurs when the tarpaulin is pulled on, or the movement
caused by the wind, can damage the paintwork, plastic parts, mirrors, rims, etc. or
the tarpaulin if the motorcycle is dirty.
Make sure that your motorcycle is dry and not damp before using the tarpaulin.
Moisture between the motorcycle and the tarpaulin can lead to rust, for example. The
material is breathable, but cannot let 100% of the moisture through.
Weather-dependent changes in humidity can cause condensation between the
motorcycle and the tarpaulin. The tarpaulin should therefore be checked regularly for
the presence of condensation or moisture, especially when the weather changes (dry
to damp / damp to dry or temperature fluctuations, e.g. day and night).
Rule of thumb: The tarpaulin should have a minimum distance of 10 cm from the
ground so that moisture absorption by the circulating air can be reduced.
Direct sunlight on the tarpaulin should be avoided as far as possible to reduce the
formation of condensation water and to protect the material.
Our tip: A protected, shady parking space.
Care products and special cleaners, chain spray, corrosion and solvents or similar,
as well as freshly painted components (also applies to new vehicles) may continue
to evaporate for up to 6 months and cause a chemical reaction between the
components and the tarpaulin, which may contaminate and/or damage the
motorcycle or tarpaulin. Avoid contact between these substances and the tarpaulin.
Be sure to look for sharp edges on your motorcycle, such as the license plate, license
plate holder, crash pads, pedals, attachments, etc. These can damage the tarpaulin
and/or the motorcycle during use. Furthermore, make sure that the tarpaulin is also
checked for dirt, dirt and damage before and after use. For correct cleaning of the
tarpaulin, see section 6 "Cleaning".
The most important rule for use: Be careful! Do not use force or power, but pull the
tarpaulin up carefully and calmly.
