CLEANING THE VEHICLE

Each vehicle is equipped with hand-washable front and rear bodies. The vehicle has a powder-coated steel cargo bed (or optional aluminum flat bed). Use commercial automotive cleaning solutions with a sponge or soft cloth for normal cleaning. A garden hose at normal residential water pressure is adequate. To remove oxidation or discoloration from aluminum, use a commercially available aluminum cleaner paste and fine grade (No. 00) steel wool.

The manufacturer does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process will expose electrical components to moisture. Moisture entering electrical components can result in water damage and subsequent component failure.

Use non-abrasive wax products. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should be removed immediately to prevent possible stains.

The seats of the vehicle will last longer with proper cleaning. Use a solution of 10% liquid soap and warm water applied with a soft cloth. For imbedded dirt, a soft bristle brush may be used. For heavy soiling, difficult stains, or scratches, blemishes, or other body damage, see the appropriate maintenance and service manual. See following NOTE.

NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.
