WARNING
• See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The hood, center and side cowl panels are molded-in color, Geloy XTW plastic (except camo finishes and low-volume
finishes, such as black, which remain painted but over the closest matching, molded-in color).
CLEANING THE VEHICLE
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
CAUTION
• Do not use detergents or cleaning solvents that contain ammonia, aromatic solvents, or alkali
materials on body panels or seats.
• Do not allow battery acid to drip on body panels. Battery acid will cause permanent damage. Wash
spilled battery acid from body panels immediately.
Each vehicle is equipped with a Geloy XTW front body, a polypropylene rear body, and an aluminum frame. The
cargo beds are either powder-coated steel or aluminum.
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. Normal residential water pressure is adequate for exterior cleaning.
For regular front body cleaning, use automotive cleaning solutions with a sponge or soft cloth. The Geloy XTW body
panel material is the same material used in various automotive applications. Automotive cleaning/polishing products
are available at automotive specialty and hardware stores.
To remove oxidation or discoloration from aluminum, use a commercially available aluminum cleaner paste and fine
grade (No. 00) steel wool. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should be removed
immediately to prevent possible stains.
SEAT CLEANING
Clean seats regularly using the following guidelines:
See following CAUTION.
Light Soiling
– A solution of 10% liquid dish soap and warm water applied with a soft, damp cloth is recommended.
A soft bristle brush may be used if necessary. Wipe off any residue with a water dampened cloth.
