Repair and Service Manual
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Rubber parts should be cleaned with non-abrasive
household cleaner.
Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive prod-
ucts designed for ‘clear coat’ automotive finishes will
enhance the appearance and durability of the painted
surfaces.
Corrosive materials used for dust control can collect on
the underbody of the vehicle. These materials will accel-
erate corrosion of underbody parts. It is recommended
that the underbody be flushed occasionally with plain
water. Thoroughly clean any areas where mud or other
debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed areas
should be loosened to ease its removal, taking care not
to chip or otherwise damage paint.
VEHICLE CARE PRODUCTS
To help maintain the vehicle, there are several products,
available through a local Distributor, an authorized
Branch, or the Service Parts Department.

HARDWARE
Periodically the vehicle should be inspected for loose
fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened in accordance
with the Torque Specifications table (Ref Fig. 18 on page
A-9) or specific torque values stated in procedures.
In general two grades of hardware are used in the vehi-
cle. Grade 5 hardware can be identified by the three
marks on the hexagonal head. Unmarked hardware is
Grade 2 (Ref Fig. 8 on page A-4).
