VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE
VEHICLE CLEANING
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
vehicle damage, read all instructions supplied
by the manufacturer of the pressure washer.
When pressure washing the exterior of the vehicle, do
not use pressure in excess of 700 psi. To reduce the
possibility of cosmetic damage, do not use any abra-
sive or reactive solvents to clean plastic parts.
It is important that proper techniques and cleaning ma-
terials be used. Using excessive water pressure may
cause severe injury to the operator or bystander, dam-
age to the seals, plastics, seat material, body finish or
electrical system. Do not use pressure in excess of 700
psi to wash the exterior of the vehicle.
Clean the windshield with lots of water, a mild soap and
a clean cloth.
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 wiped with a damp cloth.
Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc., requires
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 re-
quired 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 paint-
ed surfaces.
Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control
can collect 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. Sedi-
ment packed in closed areas should be loosened to
ease its removal, taking care not to chip or otherwise
damage paint.
REPAIR
LIFTING THE VEHICLE
Tool List Qty.
Floor Jack ....................................................................1
Jack Stands .................................................................4
Wheel 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 sur-
face.
Never get under a vehicle while it is supported
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 extreme-
ly unstable during the lifting process.
When lifting the vehicle, position the jacks and jack
stands at the areas indicated only.
To raise the entire vehicle, install the wheel chocks in
front and behind each front wheel. Center the jack under
the bagwell and place a piece of wood, approximately 2"
x 4" x 12", between the jack and the underside of the
bagwell. Raise the vehicle and position the jack stands
under the frame where the leaf spring mounting bracket
is welded to the frame.(Ref. Fig. 13)
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the
two jack stands.
Place the jack under the center front of the car just be-
hind the bumper. Raise the vehicle and position the jack
stands under the frame where the instrument panel sup-
port is attached to the frame.(Ref. Fig. 13)
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all
four jack stands.
To raise only the front or rear of the vehicle, place the
wheel chocks in front and behind the wheels that are not
to be raised. The jack may be left under the center front
