Maintenance, general
The Maintenance driver instructions
contain information about what
preventive measures the driver needs to
take in order for the truck to be driven
safely in traffic and to achieve maximum
reliability. However, the maintenance in
these instructions is not comprehensive.
Many more items are included in the

A maintenance programme is provided
with the purchase of the truck. The
programme is based on truck type,
driving conditions, oil grades, etc., and is
unique to each truck. If the conditions
that applied when the maintenance
programme was developed have
changed then the maintenance
programme must also be changed.
Contact your authorised Volvo workshop.

Vehicle cleaning

Care of steel rims
Steel rims are often exposed to different
types of dirt such as road dirt, oil,
asphalt, tar and brake dust. To protect
the rims from discolouration, oxidisation
and unnecessary wear, regular
maintenance is required. For additional
protection a protective wax must be
used, e.g. when driving is slush, salted
roads or environments close to the sea.
Damage to the rim's paint must be
remedied immediately to prevent
corrosion.
Clean the rims regularly. First flush with
water, preferably using a high pressure
washer. Use a brush or sponge to clean
the rim.
For stubborn dirt, an alkaline cleaning
agent (pH>7) may be used.
