VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or vehicle damage, read and understand all instructions
supplied by manufacturer of pressure washer.
When pressure washing exterior of vehicle, do not use pressure in excess of 700 psi and maintain a 12” mini-
mum distance from spray nozzle to painted surface. T
o 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 us
ed. 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 pres-
sure in excess of 700 psi to wash exterior of vehicle.
Clean windshield with lots of water and a clea
n 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 requir
es 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 appeara
nce 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 coll
ect on the underbody of the vehicle. These materials will
cause corrosion of underbody 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

This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service, providing it
receives regular maintenance. Refer to the PERIODIC
SERVICE SCHEDULE for appropriate service intervals.
