NOTE: Every six (6) months, take your HTR to a quali
fied
technician for a thorough inspection and servicing. Regular
cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the
smooth operation of your HTR. To operate properly and
safely, your HTR must be cared for just like any other
vehicle. Routine maintenance will extend the life and
efficiency of your HTR. Clean upholstery with mild soap
and water or spray disinfectant using a sponge. DO NOT
use bleach or wash in a washing machine.
