Cab Maintenance

Doors
The door lock mechanism should be
greased annually using white grease. Lubri-
cate the door lock cylinder with liquid
graphite annually, or more often in climates
with a lot of snow and salt on the roads.
Coat the door stop arm with white grease
annually.
On wet and salted roads, roadspray can en-
ter the door lock key cylinder. Lubricate the
cylinder with liquid graphite annually or
more often if necessary.
The door hinge pins are treated at manufac-
turing and then sealed. No lubrication is
necessary.

To keep the door rubber moldings and seals
around the windows in good working order
and to prevent them from freezing shut dur-
ing the cold season, occasionally spray on a
silicone compound.
Hood
The hood latch mechanism should be
greased with white grease yearly. If the
mechanism is hard to work or binds, the
latch should be cleaned before greasing.
