Simple inspection and service
•
Been driven on roads where road chemicals
have been applied
•
Become contaminated by coal tar, smoke, soot,
powder dust, iron powder, lime powder, sap, bird
droppings, etc.
•
Adhesion of dust and/or mud
Using a hose, wash the mud and dirt off the body
surfaces. Wash not only the surfaces around the
cab, but also the wheel housings and the underside
of the chassis.
Especially after you have driven in a coastal area or
on salted road in the winter, your vehicle should be
given a thorough washing. Also try to wax the body
surfaces once a month.
CAUTION
•
Wash the vehicle with luke-warm or cold
water. Do not use very hot water.
•
Avoid leaving the vehicle in direct sunlight.
•
Avoid splashing water on the air intake port
or the area where it connects to the engine.
Especially when the vehicle is washed with
the cab tilted, avoid allowing water to enter
the engine through the air intake port.
•
When washing the engine compartment and
underside of the chassis, be careful not to
expose the starter, alternator, connectors,
and other electrical parts directly to steam or
high-pressure water.
•
Do not use concentrated soap or synthetic
detergents.
•
Rinse the detergent off with water. Take care
that none remains on the paintwork since it
could discolor the paint.
•
Cleaning plastic parts with thinner or gaso-
line could result in cracking or discoloration.
•
In cold weather, the key holes and rubber
parts of the door sometimes freeze, making
it hard to open the door. After washing,
remove moisture on and around the doors.
Applying silicone with antifreeze capabilities
is one solution to this problem.
•
Do not clean the interior by splashing water
on it as this could damage relays, the com-
puter, and other electrical devices.
WARNING
When washing the underside of the vehicle,
be careful not to hurt yourself on the edges
of panels and other parts.
