Maintenance Instructions
Always make sure that steps and grab handles are clean and
free of road grime, grease, ice, and other debris.
Prior to using any wax or polish, the vehicle must be thoroughly
washed to avoid scratching the finish.
Bright Metal Care
To preserve the bright look of your vehicle's trim (grilles,
bumpers, etc.), use only mild detergents and lukewarm water
for cleaning.
Damage to these parts can occur if cleaning
solutions having excessive acidity or alkalinity (pH) are used.
Also, the higher the solution temperature ranges, the more
caustic the cleaner's chemical compounds become. However,
if high-pressure washing equipment and washing compounds
are used, satisfactory results can be achieved, if the solution
has a pH value between 4 and 8 and the temperature does not
exceed 160°F (71°C). Solutions that are more acidic or more
alkaline will attack the metallic coating.
If you are having difficulty with your washing compound, contact
your local supplier for the acidity / alkalinity (pH) specification.
A nonabrasive chrome cleaner may be used sparingly to clean
the bright metal. Do not use steel wool. Use of automobile
wax or polish on bright metal usually will restore the original
brightness.
Upholstery Care
Use a whisk broom and vacuum cleaner to remove loose dust
and dirt from upholstery and floor.
Vinyl and woven plastic
upholstery can be washed with warm water and mild soap.
Remove soap residue and wipe dry. If commercial cleaners are
used, follow instructions supplied with cleaner.
Exposed Rubber and Unpainted Plastic Parts
To better protect plastic surfaces from fading, use Meguiar's
#40 vinyl and rubber cleaner / conditioner. Spread evenly with
sponge or towel and allow to penetrate. Buff off excess product
with clean cloth.
Clutch
Pedal Free Travel
All International
®
ProStar
®
+ Series vehicles are equipped with
pull type clutches. If a non-self-adjusting clutch (clutches other
than the Eaton
®
Solo series) was selected, free pedal must
be checked each time the vehicle chassis is lubricated.
If
free pedal is less than 1/2 inch (13 mm), the clutch must be
adjusted.
Contact your International Truck dealer for proper
clutch adjustment procedures. After proper clutch adjustment,
clutch free pedal should be between 1.25 and 1.75 inch (32
mm and 44 mm) and the release bearing should contact the
clutch brake with 1/2 - 1 inch (13 - 25 mm) of clutch pedal travel
remaining. Free pedal and clutch brake should be adjusted by
lengthening (increases free pedal and decreases clutch brake
squeeze) or shortening (decreases free pedal and increases
clutch brake squeeze) the horizontal rod if outside of this
specification. Contact your International Truck dealer for proper
linkage adjustment procedures.
