After the vehicle has been put into service, it is recom-
mended that the brakes be checked daily by performing
a brake test..
To prevent severe injury
or death resulting from
operating a vehicle with
improperly operating brake system, the braking sys-
tem must be properly maintained. All driving brake
tests must be done in a safe location with regard for
the safety of all personnel.
For information on conducting a brake test, refer to
BRAKES section.
TIRES
Tire condition should be inspected per the Periodic Ser-
vice Schedule (Ref Fig. 19 on page A-10). Inflation pres-
sure should be checked when the tires are cool. Be sure
to reinstall valve dust cap after checking or inflating. For
additional information, refer to WHEELS AND TIRES
section.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE VEHICLE
When pressure washing vehicle, do not
use pressure in excess of 700 psi. To
prevent cosmetic damage, do not use any abrasive or reactive
solvents to clean plastic parts.
It is important that proper techniques and cleaning mate-
rials be used. Using excessive water pressure may
cause damage to seals, plastics, the electrical system,
body finish or back cushion material. Do not use pres-
sure in excess of 700 psi to wash vehicle.
Normal cleaning of vinyl backrests and plastic or rubber
trim requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with
a sponge or soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth.
Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc. will require
the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.
The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive
appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing
with lukewarm or cold water is the best method of pre-
serving the painted surfaces.
Do not use hot water, strong soap or harsh chemical
detergents.
