CAB MAINTENANCE Cab Maintenance Exterior Maintenance Painted Surfaces Wash painted surfaces frequently to remove grime and caustic deposits which may stain the finish. See “Cleaning, Protection and Weather–Stripping” on page 225. Chrome and Aluminum Surfaces To prevent rust, keep chromed parts clean and protected with wax at all times, especially in winter conditions where the roads are salted. • If necessary, use a commercial chrome cleaner to remove light rust. • Chrome surfaces are best cleaned with fresh water. Wipe dry to preserve their luster. A commercial chrome cleaner will remove light rust. After cleaning, wax flat surfaces and apply a thin coat of rust preventive lubricant around bolts or other fasteners. • Clean aluminum wheels and bumpers with warm water. Tar remover will get rid of heavy deposits of road grime. To prevent spotting, wipe aluminum surfaces dry after washing. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE • Under corrosive conditions, such as driving on salted roads, clean aluminum parts with steam or high pressure water from a hose. A mild soap solution will help. Rinse thoroughly. Stainless Steel Even high quality stainless steel parts can rust under prolonged exposure to salt water, especially when the salt-laden moisture is held against the metal surface by road grime. It is, therefore, important to frequently clean salty moisture and grime from stainless steel surfaces. • If surface rust is encountered, wash the surface and use a commercial polishing compound to clean off the rust, followed by a coating of wax (do not apply wax to hot parts, such as exhaust pipes). • Never use steel wool when cleaning stainless steel because minute particles of the steel wool can embed in the surface of the stainless steel and cause rust staining. – 224 – Y53-6033 Regional Haul (R05/10)

PREVENTIVE 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 and cause death or personal injury if swallowed or inhaled. Keep them out of the reach of children. CAB MAINTENANCE • Observe all caution labels. • 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. Regional Haul (R05/10) Y53-6033 – 225 –
