Care and Maintenance 147
CAUTION
•
Make sure cleaning solutions are not
harmful to painted surfaces. Read the
manufacturer's instructions before using.
• D
o not spray water jet directly into fresh
air inlet dampers.
• D
o not aim high pressure water jet at
radiator doors. This could damage the
radiator fins.
To prevent corrosion, remove caked-on dirt and
road salt from the vehicle underbody using a
high pressure water jet. Clean wheel housings,
bumpers, muffler, tailpipe and brackets.
Carry out corrosion prevention cleaning at least
twice a year. Spray underneath of the vehicle
and let soak before cleaning. Let engine and
exhaust system cool down before cleaning.
Tar Or Oil
Remove tar or oil as soon as possible with an
approved automotive tar and oil remover or
turpentine. Thoroughly clean area with car wash
soap and water. Let dry, then wax.
Insects
Remove insect stains as soon as possible with
lukewarm soap and water or insect remover.
Tree Sap
Remove tree sap or bird droppings with
lukewarm soap and water. Do not allow to
harden.
WINDSHIELD
To prevent windshield wiper streaking, keep
silicone sprays away from windshield. Remove
road film and wax build-up from windows with
lukewarm soap and water or with an alcohol-
based cleaning agent. If a chamois is used to
dry and polish glass, use it exclusively for that
purpose.
Wiper Blades
To avoid tearing frozen wiper blades, loosen
them before removing. Remove and clean wiper
blades periodically with an alcohol-based
cleaning solution. Clean wiper blades using a
sponge or soft cloth.
LAVATORY MAINTENANCE
Flush water in the lavatory is recirculated from
the sump tank. When the sump tank water is
too soiled to be recirculated, the driver can
dump it into a suitable dump location.
Routine draining and filling of lavatory tanks
should be performed by maintenance personnel
only, and should be done before parking the
coach overnight in freezing temperature.
FRESH WATER RESERVOIR
Water from the fresh water reservoir supplies
the washbasin in the lavatory.
DANGER
Do not drink water from the fresh water
reservoir.
Filling The Fresh Water Reservoir
Connect the fresh water supply hose to the fresh
water reservoir fill connection located in the
curb-side engine compartment. Fill the reservoir
until the overflow tube leaks, signaling that the
reservoir is full.
DANGER
Never put antifreeze in fresh water reservoir;
antifreeze is toxic
.
DANGER
If reservoir has not been drained for an
extended period of time, draining and filling
operations must be repeated three (3) times in
order to clean reservoir and eliminate
contaminated water.
Draining The Fresh Water Reservoir
The fresh water reservoir can be drained by
simply opening the drain cock. Don’t forget to
close the cock when draining is complete.
NOTE
The fresh water reservoir is equipped with a
thermal valve which is set to open at about
35
o
F, thereby automatically draining the
reservoir in near-freezing temperatures.
