Vehicle Cleaning and Care
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or vehicle damage, read and understand all instructions supplied by manu-
facturer of pressure washer.
When pressure washing exterior of vehicle, do not use pressure in excess of 700 psi and maintain a 12” minimum
distance from spray nozzle to painted surface. To reduce the possibility of cosmetic damage, do not use any abrasive
or reactive solvents to clean plastic parts.
It is important that proper techniques and cleaning materials be used. Using excessive water pressure may cause severe
injury to operator or bystander, damage to seals, plastics, seat material, body finish or electrical system. Do not use pressure in excess of 700 psi to wash
exterior of vehicle.
Clean windshield with lots of water and a clean cloth. Minor scratches may be removed using a commercial plastic polish or Plexus
®
plastic cleaner available
from the service parts department.
Normal cleaning of vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with a sponge or soft brush and wipe with a damp
cloth.
Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc. will require the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.
The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive appearance as well as durable protection. Frequent washing with lukewarm or cold water and mild
detergent is required to preserve the painted surfaces.
Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive products designed for ‘clear coat’ automotive finishes will enhance the appearance and durability of the
painted surfaces.
Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or dust control can collect on the under-body of the vehicle. These materials will cause corrosion of under-body parts
unless flushed occasionally with plain water. Thoroughly clean any areas where mud or other debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed areas should be
loosened to ease its removal, taking care not to chip or otherwise damage paint.
Routine Maintenance
Preventive maintenance, applied at recommended intervals, is the best guarantee for keeping the vehicle dependable.
This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service, providing it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the PERIODIC SERVICE SCHEDULE for appropriate
service intervals.
