up. The vent system operates at all times, however it is most effective when the lamps
are on and the vehicle is in motion. Since most motor homes are parked for long
periods of time, they have a greater chance of condensation build-up.
Note: Check head lamp regularly for condensed water drops. This should
be done daily in high humidity areas.
If small drops of condensed water are noted, drive the motor home with head lamps
“ON” or just turn “ON” the head lamps. This will evaporate the condensed water drops
and will avoid water being accumulated. Depending on the size, shape and location of
the lamp on the motor home, and the atmospheric conditions occurring, the amount of
time required to clear the lamp may vary.
Cleaning is the most effective maintenance that you can perform on your lights, dirt
and road grime build up can cut light output by 40% or more.
When cleaning your head lamps, please observe the following: do not rub them dry,
and never use abrasives or strong solvents. Remove dirt and contamination, such as
insects, by soaking with shampoo and then rinsing with plenty of water. Always use a
de-icer spray to remove accumulated ice and snow; never use a scraper.
Check the head lamp vent tubes, this will be a small rubber hose or plastic cap
located on the back of the light, make sure that they are free of dirt and the rubber is
not cracked or dried out. If the vent tubes are clogged, cracked or dried out the vent
system will not work correctly, allowing condensation to build up in the lamp. If the
tube is cracked or dried out please replace it, replacement parts can be acquired from
your motor home Dealer.
Head lamp seals should not be directly sprayed with high pressure (home or industrial)
wash systems. Damage to the seal can occur, causing the housing to leak water.
Composite head lamps have a polycarbonate lens, which is very sensitive to a
variety of chemicals. Contact with certain chemicals can cause crazing, softening or
cracking of the lens, which would require replacement of the entire lamp housing. The
following chemicals are suspected to cause similar results. Mild soap and water is
recommended for the cleaning of your lamps.
Note: Damage to the lamp assembly by these chemicals is not covered
under the manufacturer’s warranty.
TO PREVENT INJURIES AND DAMAGE, COMPLY WITH ANY INSTRUCTIONS
