The batteries should be removed and stored in a warm place when not using your motorhome for
an extended period of time. Mark the cables, positive and negative, for easy identification.
Batteries are not to be stored on concrete floors. If the motorhome is to be stored for a long period
of time, it is recommended that all of the batteries inside the unit be removed from clocks, radios,
smoke alarms, etc. This will prevent unnecessary drain and corrosion of the batteries. The coach
batteries are 6 volt RV/Marine deep cycle batteries. This type of battery consumes water and must
be filled periodically. Please be sure to check the battery water level on a regular basis. Consult
the owner’ s manual supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Alloy Wheels
Your motorhome is equipped with Accuride Aluminum “Alloy” Wheels. Below is the
manufacturer’ s recommended cleaning procedure:
1.
Rinse the wheel with high pressure water to remove any debris, grit, or dirt particles. High
pressure water is recommended.
2.
Use a 100% cotton cloth dipped in a mild soap (dish soap or automotive auto wash soap) to
help remove stuck on road dirt and grease.
3.
Thoroughly rinse any remaining soap residue from the wheel.
4.
Dry the wheel thoroughly with a 100% cotton cloth.
IMPORTANT
To insure damage does not occur to your alloy wheels while cleaning, the following list must be
adhered to:
1) DO NOT scrub the wheels before rinsing off loose particles with high pressure water; rubbing
debris against the wheel surface will scratch it.
2) DO NOT use synthetic cleaning pads; synthetic cleaning pads can result in streaking on the
surface of the wheel.
3) DO NOT use wire brushes to remove dirt or grime from the wheel surfaces.
4) DO NOT use strong detergents, strong solvents, acidic or alkaline cleaners to clean your alloy
wheels. These solutions can attack the finish on the surface of the wheel, causing damage or
dull spots in the finish.
5) DO NOT allow soap solutions to dry on the surface of the wheel; be sure
to rinse and thoroughly them after cleaning.
6)
DO NOT use polishes or waxes on an Accu-shield aluminum wheel. The finish will maintain its
bright
, shiny surface for years to come without the need for special polishes.
INTERIOR CARE
WARNING
Urea-formaldehyde is used in the productions of particle board, hardwood plywood, and most
paneling. Urea-formaldehyde resin may release formaldehyde vapors into the air, which may
cause headaches, and in some people, eye, nose and throat irritation. Formaldehyde may
intensify some allergies or upper respiratory problems like asthma. Providing proper ventilation
as needed by operating the power roof vents and opening windows should reduce the risk of such
problems.
