VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE

Keeping your vehicle clean is not only beneficial to its appearance, but can also help extend the life of various compo

-

nents.

Washing the Vehicle

NOTICE: Do not use a pressure washer to wash the vehicle. High water pressure can damage components.

Some products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will damage plastic surfaces. Do not 

allow these types of products to contact the vehicle.

• Do not use a pressure washer to clean the vehicle.

• Use an automotive type cleaner or mild soap to wash the vehicle. Harsh cleaners can scratch the finish.

• Use clean or new cloths and pads for washing. Reused cloths and pads can contain dirt particles that will scratch 

the finish.

• Inspect all grease fittings for dirt intrusion or lack of grease after washing. Apply grease as required to maintain 

proper function.

• Use a sponge or soft brush and a soap/water solution to clean the vinyl seats. Rinse with clean water.

• Use an automotive type wash cloth to wash the body of the vehicle. To prevent the soap from drying on the vehicle, 

rinse with clean water frequently.

• Clean the windshield with water and a clean cloth. Remove small scratches with a plastic polish.

• Clean the bottom of the vehicle where mud or dirt can collect. Loosen any packed sediment to help with removal. 

Be careful not to damage the paint.

• Dry the vehicle with a chamois before the water dries to prevent water spots.

Polishing the Vehicle

• Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish. Use wax that is for clear coat automotive finishes only. 

Do not apply wax or polish to matte finish surfaces.

• Use clean or new cloths and pads for polishing. Old or reused cloths and pads can contain dirt particles that will 

scratch the finish.

TIRES

Follow the tire maintenance procedures as instructed in this manual and on the labels on the vehicle.
Always use the approved size and type of replacement tires. See Vehicle Specifications for the proper tire type and 

size.

Worn, improperly inflated, improper sized, or incorrectly installed tires will affect vehicle 

handling and could cause an accident resulting in severe injury or death.

Inflate all tires to the same pressure. Operating with unequal or incorrect pressure can 

adversely affect steering and handling and could cause an accident resulting in severe 

injury or death.
To decrease the risk of tire explosion, do not exceed the tire inflation rating on the tire 

sidewall. Make sure the tires are properly inflated at all times of operation. See 

Tire Pres

-

sure 

on page 15.

To decrease the risk of tire explosion, inflate small amounts of air into the tire at intervals 

to allow the bead to seat properly. Because of the low volume of the small tires, over 

inflation can occur in seconds. Never exceed the tire inflation pressure rating on the tire 

sidewall when seating a bead. Protect your face and eyes when you remove a valve core.
When you remove the wheels, use only sockets made for impact wrenches to decrease 

the risk of injury by a broken socket.
Do not use tires with a low rated pressure. Do not use tires that have a recommended tire 

inflation pressure less than the tire inflation pressure recommended in the owner’s man

-

ual.
Do not over inflate the tires. Excess pressure can cause the tire to separate from the 

wheel or cause a tire explosion.
