MAINTENANCE, LUBRICATION AND SERVICE
VEHICLE CLEANING
Cab
CAUTION
When using a pressure washer to clean
the vehicle, do not direct the spray at
electrical components in the engine
compartment such as the alternator,
starter and compressors. Water spray
from pressure washers can damage
electrical components.
Wash all exterior painted surfaces
frequently to remove dirt. It is especially
important to wash off salt-laden snow
and ice during the cold season. A mild
detergent approved for automotive
cleaning can be used but avoid strong
detergents.
NOTE
DO NOT aim the water jet directly at door
and window seals or door locks.If locks
are filled with water, use compressed air
to clean the water out and then apply
liquid graphite. Be especially careful of
leaving water in locks or around seals
during freezing weather.
Apply a coat of wax regularly. This will
help the paint and other surfaces keep
their luster. If the surface gets dull, use a
restoring cleaner specially designed for
this.Clean off all tar spots and tree sap
before waxing.
Chassis
Keep the chassis free from buildup of
dirt. Make sure the chassis is cleaned
before the maintenance inspections to
help spotting leaks, etc. As salt can be
part of the road sludge during the cold
season, remove buildup of snow and ice
so it does not promote corrosion. At the
end of the cold season, thoroughly flush
away all collected dirt from the chassis
If signs of delamination of the frame rail
are apparent, complete the following
steps:
1
Clean chassis with high pressure
water spray. Use mild detergent if
available; remove loose dirt and
grease.
2
Continue high pressure wash to
affected delamination areas of paint
from the frame rails. Apply high
pressure spray until paint holds on
frame substrates.
NOTE
After completing these steps, to avoid
further delamination, have the framerail
serviced as soon as possible.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel will rust if exposed to salt
for too long. Wash frequently, especially
during the cold season, to remove salt-
laden snow and ice. If rust appears,
wash the surface and use a rubbing
compound to remove the rust. Apply a
coat of wax as a finish (do not wax parts
that get hot, such as exhaust pipes,
etc.).
NOTE
Never use steel wool to clean stainless
steel. Pieces of the steel wool break off
and can create rust stains on the surface.
Chrome
Chrome surfaces will rust if they are not
cleaned and protected. This is especially
important during the cold season when
roads are salted or in coastal areas
where the salt level in the air is high.
Clean chrome surfaces with clean water.
If the surface has heavy dirt or tar spots,
use a tar remover. To remove rust spots,
use a non-abrasive chrome cleaner and
apply a coat of wax as a finish (do not
wax parts that get hot, such as exhaust
pipes, etc.).
NOTE
Never use steel wool to clean chrome.
Pieces of the steel wool break off and can
create rust stains on the surface.
Aluminum
Unprotected aluminum surfaces will
form an oxide layer if not maintained.
