CARE AND MAINTENANCE
91
WINDOWS AND DOORS
Check the seals around the windows at regular intervals. Follow previous instructions for checking the condition
of seals and repairing as necessary.
Make sure that windows remain operative by adjusting and lubricating latches and moving parts annually. Also
check the condition and operation of the door locks, adjusting and lubricating as necessary. Use powdered
graphite or light oil to lubricate moving parts on doors and windows.
Vinyl seals around windows and doors should be cleaned regularly, and kept supple by use of a silicone spray
(make sure to follow the directions on the product).
Keep screens and window slides clean and free of debris, to maintain proper operation, and avoid component
road damage. Test the operation of all windows occasionally to make sure they are working properly, including
closing flush and locks holding tight.
Check with your dealer if you are unsure about the correct methods of lubrication and adjustment.
Note:
Be aware that moisture can accumulate in locks and hinges of windows and doors,
causing damage or faulty operation. Do not force the operation of these components
in sub-freezing weather.
PROPANE GAS SYSTEM
The Propane Gas system should be checked regularly for leaks and damage. Follow the lines, looking for kinks
or flattened spots that could have occurred during travel or maintenance on the motor home. The entire system,
including regulator pressure, should be checked annually, or whenever you suspect a problem, by a qualified
Propane Gas service technician using proper equipment. The method of checking the system for leaks, and
Propane Gas safety precautions can be found elsewhere in this manual.
Note:
Line pressure for Propane Gas appliances should be checked at least every six
months. Most Propane Gas suppliers have equipment to make the test for you. The
correct line pressure for all of the Propane Gas appliances is 11" of water column
pressure.
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The drainage system, including the tanks and associated drain piping should be periodically inspected for road
damage. Any deterioration of the sealant around joints and fittings should be repaired immediately.
Check the operation of the termination valves. If they pull or close with effort, lubricate the shaft and slide valve
with spray silicone. Termination valves that leak should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Sometimes, a buildup of paper or other material in the inside groove of the termination valve can obstruct the
valve and cause it to seat improperly. If you suspect that this is occurring, the valve can be removed from the
drainage line by removing the four screws that hold it in place and sliding it out. The valve groove may then be
cleaned out with a screwdriver or similar tool. Replace the valve in the line and reinstall the screws to secure
it in place.
