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 at 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 ne 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, difcult stains, or scratches,
blemishes, or other body damage, see the appropriate maintenance and service manual. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.
