VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE

VEHICLE CLEANING

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or 

vehicle damage, read and understand all 

instructions supplied by manufacturer of pres-

sure washer.

When pressure washing exterior of vehicle, do not use

pressure in excess of 700 psi. 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 materi-

als 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 and 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 prod-

ucts designed for ‘clear coat’ automotive finishes will

enhance the appearance and durability of the painted

surfaces.

Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control

can collect on the underbody of the vehicle. These mate-

rials will cause corrosion of underbody parts unless

flushed occasionally with plain water. Thoroughly clean

any areas where mud or other debris can collect. Sedi-

ment packed in closed areas should be loosened to ease

it’s removal, taking care not to chip or otherwise damage

paint.

Tool List

Qty. Required

Floor jack .....................................................................1

Jack stands..................................................................4

Chocks.........................................................................4

Some servicing operations may require the front wheels,

the rear wheels, or the entire vehicle be raised.

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or 

death from a vehicle falling from a jack:

Be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level 

surface.

Never get under a vehicle while it is sup-

ported by a jack.

Use jack stands and test the stability of the 

vehicle on the stands.

Always place chocks in front and behind 

the wheels not being raised.

Use extreme care since the vehicle is 

extremely unstable during the lifting pro-

cess.

When lifting vehicle, position jacks and jack stands at the

areas indicated only.

To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and

behind each front wheel (Ref. Fig. 10). Center the jack

under the rear frame crossmember. Raise the vehicle

enough to place a jack stand under the outer ends of the

rear axle.

Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the

two jack stands.

Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the

vehicle enough to place jack stands under the frame

crossmember as indicated.

Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all

four jack stands.
