CAB
CAUTION
Do not aim the water jet directly at
door locks or latch. Tape the key
holes to prevent water from seeping
into the lock cylinders. Water in lock
cylinders should be removed with
compressed air.
To prevent locks
from freezing in the winter, squirt
glycerin or lock deicer into the lock
cylinders.
Washing the Exterior
1. Begin by spraying water over the
dry surface to remove all loose dirt
before applying the car wash and
wax solution.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct
sunshine.
Do not spray water directly into the
cab vents.
2. Using soapy water, wash the
vehicle with a clean soft cloth or
a soft brush made for automotive
cleaning.
Use cool or warm water and a
mild, household type soap. Strong
industrial detergents and cleaning
agents are not recommended.
Do not use stiff brushes, paper
towels, steel wool, or abrasive
cleaning compounds because
they will scratch painted, plated,
and polished metal surfaces.
3. Rinse surfaces frequently while
washing to flush away dirt that
might scratch the finishes during
the washing operation.
4. Wipe everything dry with a
chamois to avoid water spots.
To prevent water spotting, dry off
the cosmetic surfaces with a clean
cloth or chamois.
5. Remove road tar with an
automotive type tar remover or
mineral spirits.
6. After cleaning and drying, apply a
quality automotive wax.
NOTE
To allow enough time for your truck's
finish to cure, wait at least thirty days
after the date of manufacture before
waxing.
• Do not apply wax in the hot sun.
• Never dust off dry surfaces with
a cloth because it will scratch
the finishes.
