MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 195
WARNING
Do not clean the underside of the fenders,
cab, chassis, etc., without protecting the
hands and arms, as injuries may result
when scraping against sharp edges.
DANGER
Test the service brakes after washing the
vehicle. Moisture and/or ice on the brakes
can affect braking efficiency.
Note: When washing the vehicle in cold/freezing weather, avoid direct water spray into the
door lock cylinders, as the water may freeze in the lock mechanisms.
CAUTION
To ensure durability, proper care of the
paint finish is important. Chemicals used
to wash the vehicle should have a neutral
pH (range between 6 and 8), and detergents
containing butyl cellosolve or potassium
hydroxide should not be used.
CAUTION
For chassis used in concrete operations,
do not use muriatic acid or similar types
of products to clean concrete from the cab
or frame surfaces. Use of these types of
products will damage the paint finish and
void the vehicle warranty.
