Cleaning the Chassis
• Hose dirt and grime from the entire chassis. Then, if
an oil leak develops, you will be able to detect it eas-
ier.
• Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal
and dust control can collect on the underbody. If
these materials are not removed, accelerated corro-
sion (rust) can occur on underbody parts such as fuel
lines, frames, floor pan, and exhaust system—even
though they have been provided with corrosion pro-
tection.
At least every spring, flush these materials from the under
body with plain water. Be sure to clean any area where
mud and other debris can collect. Sediment packed in
closed areas of the frame should be loosened before
being flushed. If desired, your Peterbilt Dealer or Autho-
rized Service Center can do this service for you.
Cleaning Cab Interiors
Peterbilt cab and sleeper interiors are built using a variety
of different materials including fabrics, carpet, polyure-
thane, and painted plastic surfaces. These cleaning pro-
cedures will ensure that interior components remain in
good condition for the life of the vehicle.
