Cab Maintenance Cleaning, Protection and Weather–Stripping Frequent washings of the vehicle are required to remove grime and contaminants that can stain and oxidize paint and accelerate corrosion of plated and polished metal surfaces. Waxing offers added protection against staining and oxidation. But to allow enough time for your truck’s finish to cure, wait about 30 days after the date of manufacture before waxing. Do not apply wax in the hot sun and do not friction burn the paint with a buffing machine. Occasionally spray weather-stripping on doors and windows with silicone compound to help preserve resiliency. This is especially useful in freezing weather to prevent doors and windows from sticking shut with ice. Vehicle Cleaning Precautions WARNING! Handle cleaning agents carefully. Cleaning agents may be poisonous. Keep them out of the reach of children. • Observe all caution labels. Preventive Maintenance • Always read directions on the container before using any product. • Do not use any solution that can damage the body paint. • Most chemical cleaners are concentrates which require dilution. • Use spot removing fluids only in well ventilated areas. • Do not use gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, nail polish remover or other volatile cleaning fluids. They may be toxic, flammable or hazardous in other ways. • Do not clean the underside of chassis, fenders wheel covers, etc. without protecting your hands and arms. You may cut yourself on sharp-edged metal parts. • Moisture, ice, and road salt on brakes may affect braking efficiency. Test the brakes carefully after each vehicle wash. Any vehicle is subject to deterioration from industrial fumes, ice, snow, corrosive road salt, etc., to name just a few causes. A well-cared-for vehicle can look like new many years later. Regular and correct care will contribute to maintaining the beauty and the value of your vehicle. Your Peterbilt Dealer has a number of vehicle-care products and can advise you on which ones to use for cleaning the exterior and interior of your vehicle. – 196 – PB1318 3/01 Model 330

Preventive Maintenance CAUTION: Do not aim the water jet directly at door locks or latch. Tape the key holes to prevent water from seeping into the lock cylinders. Water in lock cylinders should be removed with compressed air. To prevent locks from freezing in the winter, squirt glycerin or lock deicer into the lock cylinders. Washing the Exterior 1. Begin by spraying water over the dry surface to remove all loose dirt before applying the car wash and wax solution. • Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunshine. • Do not spray water directly into any vents. 2. Using soapy water, wash the vehicle with a clean soft cloth or a soft brush made for automotive cleaning. • Use cool or warm water and a mild, household type soap. Strong industrial detergents and cleaning agents are not recommended. • Do not use stiff brushes, paper towels, steel wool, or abrasive cleaning compounds because they will scratch painted, plated, and polished metal surfaces. 3. Rinse surfaces frequently while washing to flush away dirt that might scratch the finishes during the washing operation. Cab Maintenance 4. Wipe everything dry with a chamois to avoid water spots. • To prevent water spotting, dry off the cosmetic surfaces with a clean cloth or chamois. 5. Remove road tar with an automotive type tar remover or mineral spirits. 6. After cleaning and drying, apply a quality automotive wax. NOTE: To allow enough time for your truck’s finish to cure, wait at least thirty days after the date of manufacture before waxing. • Do not apply wax in the hot sun • Never dust off dry surfaces with a cloth because it will scratch the finishes. Cleaning the Chassis • Hose dirt and grime from the entire chassis. Then, if an oil leak develops, you will be able to detect it easier. • Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on the underbody. If these materials are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on underbody parts such as fuel lines, frames, floor pan, and exhaust system—even though they have been provided with corrosion protection.
