Operation Care/cleaning of leather covers Work mild, lukewarm soap into the dirt using a soft sponge in circular movements from the outside in. Apply light pressure when doing this. Note: Always work on the dirt from the outside in so that the dirt is not spread over the fabric.
Care/cleaning of leather covers Caution: The covers must be completely dry before they are used again. Permanent pressure marks could otherwise form.
Finally, brush the cover and the cleaned areas using a soft brush following the nap of the fabric. Caution:
Caution: Do not use cleaning products containing solvents (e.g. cleaning benzine, acetone, alcohol, etc.). This would damage the micro-fibre covers and equipment parts made of plastic or foam beyond repair.
Remove the used soap using a clean, soft sponge. Wait until the freshly cleaned areas are completely dry.

Note: Regular care and basic cleaning help to maintain the value and high-quality appearance of leather covers, as well as the long-term durability and suppleness of the leather. For this reason, carry out basic cleaning at least four times a year. Carry out basic cleaning more regularly, depending on use and the level of dirt.
