Safety Restraint System - Inspection - Peterbilt 348 2017 Operator's Manual

Cleaning the Chassis
•
Hose dirt and grime from the
entire chassis. Then, if an oil
leak develops, you will be able to
detect it easier.
•
Corrosive materials used for ice
and snow removal and dust control
can collect on the underbody. If
these materials are not removed,
accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur on underbody parts such as
fuel lines, frames, floor pan, and
exhaust system, even though they
have been provided with corrosion
protection.
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
dealer can do this service for you.

Cleaning Interior Vinyl and
Upholstery
•
Wipe vinyl upholstery and lining
with a good commercial upholstery
cleaner. Do not use acetone or
lacquer thinner.
•
Clean fabric upholstery with
upholstery shampoo specially
formulated for this purpose. Follow
instructions on the container.

Safety Restraint System -
Inspection
The seat belt system, including
webbing, buckles, latches, and
mounting hardware, endures heavy
use in heavy-duty vehicles, much more
than seat belt systems in passenger
cars. All users should be aware of the
factors contributing to this heavy use
and reduced belt life.
WARNING!
Failure to properly inspect and main-
tain restraint systems can lead to in-
jury or loss of life. Without periodic
inspection and maintenance to de-
tect unsafe conditions, seat restraint
components can wear out or not pro-
tect you in an accident.
