Engine wash

Use hot water when washing the engine and use a
high-pressure washer with caution. Avoid flushing
water on electrical components.

Washing the chassis

The chassis should, as well as the cab, be washed as
soon as it has become dirty. Be especially careful,
when washing with high pressure, of axles, joints and
other moving parts where water and dirt can be forced
in. Avoid flushing away any lubrication. If this should
happen, be extra careful to re-lubricate the
components.
