Parts of the air-conditioning must
not be cleaned with the aid of a
high-pressure/steam cleaner as

the differential and gearbox via the
vents.
• Make sure that no water can enter
via the reservoir bleed screws of
the clutch, brakes, trailing axle, etc.

Cleaning the Cab
Depending on the vehicle's operating
conditions, the external paintwork of the
cab is subject to attack by corrosive
substances, for example road salt, grit and
polluted air. For instance, road salt and air
pollution.
The paintwork must therefore be cleaned
regularly.
When cleaning the cab, make sure that:
• no caustic cleaners are used.
• no hard brushes are used.
• all seams, gaps and door shut-
lines are thoroughly cleaned.
Waxing the Cab
The paintwork of new vehicles is waxed to
protect it against the elements.
After a time, this wax coating will gradually
wear away as a result of cleaning and
other external influences.
To give corrosive substances less chance
of attacking the paint, it is advisable to
protect the paintwork with a new wax
coating at least twice a year.
It is advisable to use wax for this.
Your authorized Service dealer can advise
you about additional anti-rust treatment
and maintenance of the paintwork when
the vehicle is in service.
Cleaning the Interior
The day cab can be fitted with fabric or
plastic trimming.
The plastic can be cleaned with a
household cleaning agent and warm water.
The fabric trimming should be cleaned with
a non-aggressive dry-cleaning agent, or an
equivalent product.
