to prevent water from penetrating. Rinse vehicle
with water to remove all loose dirt. Wash vehicle
using quality brand car wash soap. Follow
manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning.
Rinse well with water.
The vehicle exterior should be cleaned, waxed and
buffed when water droplets no longer form on the
painted surfaces.
CAUTION
Hot water can damage paint. Keep water cool or
lukewarm.
CAUTION
Make sure cleaning solutions are not harmful to
painted surfaces. Read the manufacturer's
instructions before using.
CAUTION
Do not spray water jet directly into fresh air inlet
dampers.
CAUTION
Do not aim high pressure water jet at radiator or
condenser doors. This could damage the 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
Flushed water from the lavatory is recirculated from
the lavatory waste water tank (if two lavatory waste
water tanks are installed, the top tank is the main
tank and the bottom one becomes the auxiliary
lavatory waste water tank). When the main lavatory
waste water tank is too soiled to be recirculated, the
driver can dump it into the optional auxiliary lavatory
waste water tank until a suitable dump location can
be reached. The main lavatory waste water tank is
then filled with clean water and the process
continues.
NOTE
The fresh water tank also drains into the lavatory
waste water tank. This should be taken into
account to avoid an overflow.
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 temperatures.
The lavatory waste water tank may be equipped with
a heating element which permits circulating coolant
fluid through the tank in cold weather. When not
needed, close the valves to bypass the system.
