Chrome Cleaning
•
Wash chrome parts using mild soap and water, with a clean non-abrasive towel.
•
After washing, rinse with water and hand dry chrome parts.
•
If needed, apply a soft non-abrasive chrome polish.
•
Never use any products that scratch or chemicals that are abrasive, as this will dull the chrome finish.
•
Do not use any acid or hydrozide based chemicals.

ABS Plastic and Clear LEXAN Component Care
1. Wash with a mild solution of soap or detergent and lukewarm water.
2. Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently wash the sheet to loosen dirt and grime and rinse well with water.
3. To prevent spotting, thoroughly dry with chamois or cellulose sponge.
4. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners and/or cleaning implements, such as brushes that may mar or gouge the
coating.

Undercarriage Cleaning and Protection
Road de-icing agents such as liquid agents or traditional road salts increase the risk of chassis corrosion. Liquid de-
icing agents tend to stick to surfaces and wick into narrow gaps more readily than road salt, and cause corrosion
when humidity is present. The following are suggestions to inhibit the risk of corrosion:
•
Thoroughly pressure wash the undercarriage of the apparatus frequently with plain water to remove salt and
chemicals.
NOTE:
DO NOT mix rust-proofing products together. They may not be compatible with each other.
•
Apply a rust proofing compound to the undercarriage of the apparatus:
— Pierce recommends an annual application of Carwell®. Carwell is an oil based product designed to prevent
or stop corrosion. It is available from Pierce® dealers trained in its application, or it can be applied by
yourself. It is an inexpensive way to reduce corrosion on frame rails, supports, etc.
— Other rust proofing methods such as Ziebart may also be used.
•
Inspect the undercarriage regularly to identify any corrosion at an early stage. Once identified, the area should
be cleaned thoroughly, coated with a rust inhibiting system such as “POR-15®” and then painted. (Information
on POR-15® can be found on their website at “www.por15.com”)
•
Remove water from the floor where the apparatus sits. Use a fan to keep the area dry.
•
Hose out the radiator with plain water.
•
Keep mud flaps in good repair to minimize salt/chemical spray.
•
Avoid splicing into wiring. If repairs are needed use shrink terminals.
•
Clean out electrical connectors regularly. Inspect for signs of corrosion to terminals. Verify locking tabs and seals
are in place. Replace as necessary. Do not use dielectric grease on any Packard or Deutsch weatherproof
connectors.
As a rule, pressure washing should only be done on the underside of the vehicle. Pressure washing
should NOT be done on any surface that has Goldstar, gold leaf, vinyl striping, labels, or overlays.
When washing using high water pressure, all grease fittings outside and underneath the vehicle
chassis must be lubricated after washing to dissipate water and contaminated grease.
