4.17 Care and cleaning Maintenance
Protection against corrosion
Dampness, humid atmosphere, high
temperature, unattended chipped
off paint surface, accumulated
chemicals wet dust and road salt
remains are the prime cause for
corrosion. Follow precaution given
below :
●
Park vehicle in well ventilated
and dry place preferably under
shade.
●
Wash and wax the vehicle
regularly.
●
Clean dirt or chemicals on
vehicle, when noticed.
●
Paint touch up due to chipping
off scratch on paint surface.
● Washing under chassis
frequently if vehicle is being
driven on salted road (cold
weather)
● Ensure fitment of mud flaps.
Corrosion prevention for load
bodies
●
To protect paint damage and
deformation of sheet metal, use
wooden raft or rubber sheet on
top of floor panes and side
panels of load body.
●
Wash load body frequently. For
vehicles operating near coastal
areas, underside of load body
and wheel arches should be
washed at least once a month.
High pressure water is effective
for such washing. Wash load
body in shade when body is not
hot to touch.
●
To protect box sections from
corrosion - apply “DINTROL -
3850” rust preventive compound
in the box section of all sides,
panels, floor, tail gate and bottom
cross member through drain
holes provided for the purpose.
●
Be careful when transporting
chemical, cleansers, fertilizers,
etc. If a spill or leak is noticed,
care must be taken to
immediately clean area. For such
applications use additional coat
of paints epoxy/chlorinated base
anti-corrosive paint.
●
Check the condition of load
body’s paint periodically for any
chips or breakage creepage of
rust from paint damaged area.
Give immediate attention for
both primer and finish paint
touch-up work.
Under Body Maintenance
Corrosive materials on roads
accumulate on under body of a
vehicle. If allowed to remain, these
materials can cause deterioration of
under body components such as fuel
lines, chassis frame, floor panels,
exhaust system etc. Atleast once
every year, preferably after a winter's
exposure, flush the under body with
plain water. Complete under body
needs to be thoroughly washed prior
to each maintenance inspection.
