Damaged paint
To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks and scratches in the paint coat of the FW front cap as soon as possible
with touch-up film or paint. Carefully check the body areas facing the road and the tires for damage to the paint coat
caused by flying stones, etc. To purchase touch-up paint, use the closest automotive paint match (avaiable locally)
as possible.
Cleaning pastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois to clean pastic parts. Use warm water and a soft cloth or chamois to remove any white
residue from dark colored pastic surfaces. Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard tools as they may damage the
pastic surface. Do not use wax containing abrasives that may damage the pastic surface.
Chrome parts
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or corroding, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a non-abrasive auto-
motive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a commercially avaiable chrome polish product.
EXTERIOR ROOF
3–4 times per year, clean the roof and inspect all roof seaant. While you are cleaning, also clean and inspect the roof
vents (including the seaant) for cracks.
• Do not use sharp tools (putty knife) that could puncture the roof membrane.
• If any voids or cracking are found, remove any loose seaant by hand.
• If the loose seaant cannot be pulled off by hand, it still has good adhesion to the roof membrane and should be
left alone.
• Using a medium-bristled scrub brush, clean all areas to be resealed with a non-abrasive household cleaner, such
as Top Job
®
or Spic-N-Span
®
.
• This area must be dry before continuing.
• Solvents should not be used during cleaning. Solvents can damage existing seaant and may weaken pastic
roof components.
• Apply a generous amount of Alpha Systems 1010 Non-Sag Seaant over top of any existing seaant
• Please note ONLY DICOR SUPPLIED SEALANTS SHOULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ROOF MEMBRANE.
SIDEWALL VENTS
Water heater, furnace and refrigerator exterior doors need to be kept clean and free of obstructions while the ap-
pliances (if so equipped) are in use. Inspect the refrigerator and holding tank vents for blockages from bird or insect
nests, spider webs, leaves, etc.
