IMPORTANT:
The bed is coated with a protectant. To ensure prop-
er fit and operation, remove coating. Coating is easily removed
with mild solvents, such as mineral spirits, and a soft cloth. Avoid
getting cleaning solution on paint or any of the rubber or plastic
parts. Solvents may deteriorate these finishes. Use soap and water
on paint, plastic or rubber components. Wipe all parts thoroughly
with a clean dry cloth. Apply paste wax to the bed.
