Just a few more important points: As the
grout can absorb the soap as well as a stain
- do not clean with oil or wax based cleaners
- Murphy’s Oil soap, Pine Sol, etc. These
products will leave a waxy or oily film in the
grout...And, even good alkaline cleaners if not
properly rinsed, will leave a sticky soap film.
This usually attracts dirt. In fact, truly clean
ceramic tile without any sticky soap film will
stay very clean as tile does not tend to hold an
electrostatic charge (which can attract some
kinds of dirt).
The absolutely best way to clean grout is to
apply the cleaner and then vacuum (“shop vac”)
up the dirty water. This lifts the dirt off the
joint. Apply rinse water and vacuum that water
up. This lifts off any remaining soap film.
Just to mention it, there are tile installers that
remove very stubborn stains on grout with
an acid (like straight vinegar or a stronger
acid). There they have elected to dissolve
the top layer of grout molecules so the stain
is no longer attached to anything. While
this works, it is not recommended by the
grout manufacturers - needing to regrout is
sometimes the result. Also, extreme care should
be used when handling any acids.
Should you be unable to get your grout clean
through conventional methods, you may also
want to try steam. Some stains that do not
respond to conventional cleaners will come
clean when subjected to pressurized steam. As
a last resort, some installers elect to cut out the
grout and regrout. This is possible although
care must be taken to not damage or loosen
the tile. Generally it is not possible to grout
directly over the old grout without cutting the
old grout out. The same contaminants that
made the old grout dirty may prevent new
grout from sticking properly.
Engine Access
The top of the engine may be accessed from
inside the motor home for service by lifting
or removing the engine cover. Look for the
latches or screws that are used in securing the
engine access cover. The engine access cover
cannot be removed without disengaging the
latches or screws.

WARNING
The interior engine cover is heavy. Use care when
opening or closing the cover to avoid damage or
injury to personnel from lifting.
!
WARNING
When installing the engine cover, be sure the cover
is fully seated on the gasket seal and secured by the
clamps. Do not allow insulation, carpeting, or other
material to interrupt the seal between the cover and
the engine compartment. If the engine cover is not
installed correctly, engine exhaust gases could leak
into the passenger compartment creating a safety
hazard. If the engine must be run with the engine
cover off for maintenance purposes, be sure the
vehicle interior is adequately ventilated.
