To clean the new cover it is recommended to use water and neutral soap, making sure to dry the saddle immediately
after the washing phases. The velvet effect PVC material may be a little more delicate than others, if the new coating
is made with this material, we recommend making sure that it is not exposed too much to the sun, and that it is washed and

Warnings:
Pay close attention to the stapler, it could cause accidental injuries, we recommend that you try
shoot a few paper clips at a piece of wood before starting the assembly. The saddles of the
motorcycles are made from very hard plastics, piercing the plastic can be difficult
if you don't have a proper gun. It is also possible to do the job with one
manual gun, we recommend an electric or compressed air gun. It's important
also that the pressure of the gun is not excessive, if the pressure is too much it could
cause the cover to tear. When removing the staples of the
old coating you have to pay close attention to the fingers, loosen them
staples (1.) and then remove them with the pliers one at a time (2.).
