CARE OF DECALS
It is important that the decals are properly cleaned to make sure that they are readable and do not come off the unit. Use
the following steps to clean the decals.
General Instructions
Wash the decals with a blend of mild car wash detergent and clean water.
Rinse with clean water.
Let the vehicle air-dry or dry with a micro-fiber cloth.
Do not allow fuels to stay in contact with the decal for an extended period of time. Remove the fuel contamination as
quickly as possible.
Do not use carnauba-based wax over the decals.
Do not use a mechanical brush while washing the decals.
Pressure Washer Precautions
Pressure washing can cause damage to decals. It can cause the edges of the decals to lift and peel the decal away
from the unit. Over time, the decal can fade, crack or chip away.
See the following figures for correct and incorrect methods of pressure washing.
Use pressure washing only when other cleaning methods are not effective. If you use a pressure washer, use the
following precautions.
o
Spray nozzle opening: 40° wide pattern
o
Spray angle: 65° from vehicle’s body
o
Distance of nozzle to decal: 15” minimum
o
Water pressure: <= 800 psi
o
Length of time: not more than 30 sec.
o
Do not use sharp angles to clean the decals – this can lift the decals from the unit.
o
NEVER use a “turbo pressure nozzle”.
