Maintenance (Continued)
At Least Once a Year
•
Lubricate all door hinges, locks and latches, especially the exposed hinges on exterior doors. These will freeze up and cause damage to the
doors if neglected.
•
Have appliances tested and cleaned.
•
Wax and polish and protect exterior surfaces. The wheels are coated aluminum and there is no bare aluminum on the vehicle, so do not use
aluminum polish on any surface of your Aktiv.
To prevent water from entering your vehicle, avoid spraying water directly into exterior vents or grills. Do not use a power washer to clean your
Aktiv because damage to the paint, removal of decals and water leaks will result. Hand washing or commercial car washes accommodating large
vehicles are the best way to keep your Aktiv clean and shiny.
Other Maintenance Checks
Follow the maintenance for your appliances as per the appliance’s manufacturer's manual.
