To Operate Sofa/Recliner Footrest:

1. Make sure cushion is clear of the footrest opening.
2. Place heals over the edge of the footrest and pull towards you to release the

safety lock.

3. Push down – DO NOT FORCE.

BEDSPREADS

Dry clean only.

DRAPES

Materials used in bedroom and coach areas consist of different cotton and polyester
blends and should be professionally dry cleaned. Frequent vacuuming is recommended as
the first choice of cleaning.

The shower curtain can be washed on delicate cycle and hung to dry.

WINDOW SHADES

Metal venetian blinds may be washed with a mild detergent in warm water or using a soft
damp cloth to remove dust. Roller shades may be removed and cleaned using a damp cloth
or sponge to clean.

CAUTION: To prevent scorching of the window shades, do not use the swivel arm
lamps located adjacent to the slideout if one of the lampshades is broken or missing.
Remove the light bulb and contact a qualified service center for repairs or replace-
ment.

PLEATED BLINDS (Designer Only)

• Use vacuum cleaner for general dust and lightly soiled material.

• Shades are made of polyester material and can be washed with a mild detergent in warm

water.

• A mild liquid laundry detergent and warm water may be used for spot cleaning.

Tension on strings may be adjusted. If you have difficulty with adjustments, contact your
dealer.

TIRE COVERS - VINYL (Optional)

To minimize the possibility of the tire “bleeding” through onto the tire cover, use a
separator (garbage bag, paper cloth, etc.) between the tire and cover.

PANELING

The wall paneling in your travel trailer is a vinyl covered wood panel. If deep scratches
occur, putty sticks can be used to cover them. These can be obtained from hardware
stores and lumber yards. For decor paneling, replacement vinyl covering can be purchased
for repairs if needed. Your dealer’s parts department can assist you with this.
