Cleaning the Vehicle
2007 HUV 4421 Gasoline and Diesel Vehicle Owner’s Manual Page 49
CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Each vehicle is equipped with hand wash-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 dam-
age 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.
ACCESSORIES
There is a complete line of accessory equipment available from our dealers/distributors.
Care should be taken that these accessories are properly installed by trained technicians and that they are
used in the manner for which they were designed. See following WARNING and CAUTION.
ý WARNING
• Custom cab assemblies, canopy tops, weatherproof enclosures, and windshields will not
protect occupants from flying objects.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an electric-powered bed lift, remove the bed before servicing
the bed lift system.
CAUTION
• Do not drill into the driver-side frame. Failure to heed this caution could damage the engine by
allowing excessive contamination to enter the air intake system.
ELECTRIC WINCH ACCESSORY
If your vehicle is equipped with an electric winch, read and follow all manufacturer safety warnings and
instructions in the winch operator manual, as well as the following WARNING and CAUTION statements.
Make sure a winch warning decal is affixed to the vehicle on the seat support panel next to the receptacle for
the remote operation switch.
The winch kit available includes a remote operation switch, which enables the operator to move away from
the vehicle and cable. See following WARNING and CAUTION.
